A while ago someone mentioned that i answer the phone strangely. i say Yello rather than Hello. But to me, Yello is so much better than Hello. But it got me wondering, how do you guys answer the phone?
I say "What!".
"What the hell do you want, mom?!"
I'm scared of answering the phone :aimblush:. If it's someone I know, I just hit the answer button and wait for them to talk. If it's not, I don't answer at all.
Moment of silence and then '...hello?'. I'm really phone shy!
"moshi moshi?"
"met(with) Dennis van der Voort..."
In the US I said: "Dennis van der Voort speaking."
I mostly just go "Hmm?" or "It's Pontus".
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed has been disconnected. Please call your phone company for more information. Have a nice day."
"WHAT IT IS?" :choc2:
"hey"
I don't have one :(
"Hello?" and my voice goes like an octave higher and I talk faster, if it's a company or a friend. If it's family, my voice doesn't change.
I say "hullo"
Otherwise I like to answer, "Yo yo gangster flow, What up my homie G?" In which they go "WHAT?!" and I repeat it slower. :D
I rarely answer the phone, but when I do the caller is met with a boring "hello"
"Hell-oh?"
if I know who it is, I might say something, uh, different.
"What...yeah...okay...goodbye."
Molim?:tongue:
Damn Croatian *shakes fist angrily*
its usually a very lazy 'yello?' cause i hate phones. but if i know who it is, its 'what?'
"Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?"
*holds phone up the speakers which are blasting "Never Gonna Give You Up"*
If they're still there once the song ends I say "Mmmmyello?"
Lamest answer yet.
By picking it up?
OH seriously? I answer my cell phone by checking the caller ID and depending on who is calling answer with a choice phrase from the following:
'Sup
'ello
hey babes
'ello darlin'
what do you want fubar?
what now mum? I know I told her to get smurfed again, what of it she shouldn't ask for money.
hey!
If it's my land line I tend to answer with "Hello" since I don't have caller ID there.
Mr. Burns says Ahoy-hoy. :)
At home: "Hello?"
Cellphone: "Hello, this is David."
At work: "[Company name], this is David."
Keeping it pretty simple generally.
Home: "Tish is pooping right now can I take a message?"
Cell: "What the hell do you want, mom?!"
Work: "Erica Boyer speaking... Oh, Josh <3 :love: you want to replace my computer? <3 Come on over, I'll skip lunch for that ~_^"
I say Hello. Yeah I'm boring.
yello
This and Hallo!, as in the line from Labyrinth :)Quote:

Call me and find out!

Thus begins the stalking of Marshall Banana by various members of EoFF!
Land line: Hello(?)
Cell:
Someone I know: Hey, Hello?, Yo!, Sup?
Someone I don't know: Hello?
It's probably a sex hotline. I don't trust it.
"Yo bitch" if I know them.
"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii." if I don't.
I've talked to a number of Japanese people on the phone, and none have ever answered with "moshi moshi". If I ever hear that on the phone, I'll probably be immediately and prejudicially biased against the person on the other end, on the basis that they're incurably weeaboo.Quote:

If I'm expecting a call, I'll usually answer with "what the hell do you want?" Makes for fun times when it's not the person you were expecting :D
When I answer my cell, it's usually "yello" and I'm not sure why xD

My house phone we just don't answer. We don't have caller ID just an answering machine, so if it's someone we know they're usually like "Helloooo it's me pick up the phooooonnnneeee"
My cell I answer "Hullo?"
"You are the weakest link. Goodbye."

"Fort Wayne City Morgue, you kill 'em, we chill 'em! How may I help you?"
I say 'hey' when it's a friend. When it's not a friend I say hello/yello/asl?
