       I’ve been on the receiving end of this too many times myself
       with my family and I’ve adopted the same policy. They start
       talking with each other rather than include me for more than
       what’s necessary (“did you put out the trash” or something
       understandable that can’t wait) and I politely end the call.
       Sometimes they notice, sometimes they don’t - in fact they’d
       left the phone in one room and walked into another and I was
       talking to no one for a while lol I don’t feel too guilty about
       it.
       ETA: I did have one frank conversation about it which helped,
       but occasionally still happens

       I have a friend who used to have a bit of a problem. He'd call
       me on the phone, ask me a question and fall asleep in the middle
       of my answer. I actually heard him lightly snoring. So, I'd call
       his name a couple of times and if he didn't answer, I'd just
       hang up. I often wondered how long it took him to notice.  ;D
