In my experience I know a couple people who don't understand how the conversation starting and ending works. Usually a person's tone and speaking pace has a distinct pattern at the beginning of the conversation, and also a distinct pattern at the end that shows that the conversation is ending.
These people just start off talking like it is the middle of the conversation. When they are done they just walk right off abruptly. It is interesting the way we come to expect certain speaking patterns based on how most people communicate.
