How should I politely say bye and hang up on the phone or MSN Messenger or anywhere when people take up my time chatting.

Always tell the person you've enjoyed talking to them, or something to that effect, so they don't feel bad about taking up your time. Or, if one of my friend carries on the conversation too long, I'll try to say something funny like "What are we supposed to talk about at lunch if you keep going on and on like this?" Of course, only use that tactic for your good friends. :) You can say something like "I hate to end the conversation, but ... " or "Will I see you at practice tomorrow? Let's talk again then." Or offer to meet up somewhere, like Starbucks or something, later on, if it's something important that they really need to talk about. That way, it's on your time. :) Good luck!
