Her method sounds passive-aggressive to me.

And I explained probably 2-3 times why it upsets me when she does it and told her to stop stuffing me into her hypotheticals

If you lie to her ("I have another call") the incident will not be a learning opportunity for her. And eventually she will suspect or figure out that you are lying to her.
(I bet you're thinking "She'll never learn so why bother?"
) Here's why:
I think you have her set up very well for calmly saying something like, "Mom, you know I hate these hypothetical scenarios. I'm going to leave now, have a good day." And then definitely hang up.
If you do this, two good things happen:
1. She might eventually figure out that if she wants to talk to you she needs to stop the scenarios. But even if she never figures that out:
2. You will, with honesty, spare yourself from hearing her scenarios, and from getting upset!!
