Curse, of course.

To replace slamming, you can say something before you tap the button. Things like "You are no help at all. Goodbye." Or maybe "You're worthless, and you can't have any more of my time." Then they know for sure it wasn't just a dropped call. 

Hello Candy, and yes I will admit I have slam more then one phone when I was young but as I got older I was determine to be a lover and talk things out.

Candy Stevens, EA hi Candy... no you're not the only one who misses that satisfaction of slamming the phone down. And let's not forget about ripping the cord out of the wall for extra emphasis! I have managed to control myself, however, and have never broken a cell phone by throwing it. I'll admit I do get some satisfaction from hanging up on the scammer and spammers and blocking them.

Candy Stevens, EA you are right, there was satisfaction in slamming down the phone.  I have not found a way of duplicating that with a cell phone.  🤪

Candy, slamming a phone down was satisfying.   Now, some just send nasty texts late at night.  Guess that must be satisfying.

Hello Candy Stevens, EA you are right, in the past slamming the phone was a common act. But, time has changed and it is not common to slam a cell phone.

Hi Candy. I feel your loss. Just a thought, although you cannot slam the phone down on an annoying caller any longer, you could START BLOWING A WHISTLE. I understand that this is now a common practice in some places. 

Hmm, I would say that if someone hangs up on me before I am done speaking, it feels just as bad as if they had slammed down the phone receiver after our call, haha.

That is a quandary. At the very least depending on who it is, try a few harsh words and tap that button with a grimace.
