How do you end phone calls?

As someone who strives for a life of efficiency, I find ending phone calls madly frustrating.

I tend to just hang up when the conversation reaches a natural conclusion. Some people call back thinking their connection died. Seriously, why? We both knew the call was over. But the "thanks for your help have a great day" or "i really appreciate it, talk to you later." is just a bunch of vocal fluff with no real purpose.

So, do you guys just hang up? If not, what sort of closing do you use?
