Saying "I love you" all the time when ending a phone call at the office within earshot of others is, however, definitely annoying to the others.

I disagree. My sister's family says it to each other all the time. It is said so often that it might as well be "good bye" or "see you soon". They don't "mean it" mean it when they say it. Rather, it's just a way to end a conversation. They obviously love the other person, but that love is not being expressed when they say it. It has become a habitual and thus unconcious expression, signifying nothing.*
