How do you, my gentle reader, answer the phone?

Myself, I answer the phone in a variety of ways. Anything from "Battersea Dogs Home" to "This is the Adams Family" or sometimes "Scooby Doo?"
But I am not the issue here. :mad2:
The issue is you. You. How do you answer the phone? :)

"Hey", or "Hello" or "Hi"

If I know it is my sister I might say "Hey whore" but that is just how me and my sister are (we call each other names, but in a loving manner).

I just say "Hello" but if I know who it is calling (with have caller ID) like one of my friends or something, then I'll say like "yo" or "wassup" :p

If I'm aware it's someone I know personally, I answer "Telephone?", otherwise something generic like "It's Pontus" or the like.

"Is that you John? Or Timmy? If you are neither of them or you are one of them, I have nothing to say to you bye. ccccchhhuuuuu~~~~~~~" :bigsmile:

" Hello this is the Rye residents, who am i speaking to?"

but only in danish which is like this " hej, det er familie rye hvem taler jeg med?"

"Good morning/afternoon, Aerian". It hasn't rang today though, hoorah, but boo. Means we aren't busy enough ;__; I don't really answer home phone cos noone calls me there, and on my mobile, depends who it is, usually "hey".

At work: "[Company Name], [Rank, Last Name], How may I help you sir or ma'am?"

At home: "Yeah?", "Hello?", or "What do you want?".

I'm slightly rude.

"Eeyello"
or
"Yeeeeeees?"

At work: "Good morning/afternoon, this is Eric, how can I help you?'

At home: "Yo?" and "Hello?"

Hiya or yellow :D

Typically "Hello". When I worked at Sears I had to say "Thank you for calling Sears in the Asheville Mall, this is Megan how can I help you?" in about 1.2 seconds before people interrupted.

Yo dawg.

I wait for them to say something first, then i copy it.

I say "What?", and right as they're in mid-sentence I hang up the phone.
