Inflection

I work with a guy who's been doing a really weird thing lately. He calls a lot of people during the day and leaves a lot of messages. At the end of his messages, he says something like, "Call me back when you get a chance. Thanks. Bye." When written out, this is normal. But the way he says it is really weird: His inflection on "bye" goes down to up, instead of up to down. Try it. It's totally unnatural. #language
