hello i am the telephone, help me

[Alive-Cat]

When I am outwardly calling when the person answers I always say 'who is this?' for ages. Because it amuses me.

I think I'm just really annoyong on the phone, generally.

"Hello"

or "Speaaaaaaak" from Rent

I encourage you all to live life on the wild side and answer in an alternative fashion, especially if it's an unknown number.

This only backfired on me once years ago when I'd applied for some jobs and I answered ridiculously, only to realise it was one of them.

May I ask what exactly you said?

It was a while back and I don't remember exactly! It was something dumb. I often answer with things like 'this is party mcpartyson reporting from party central' or 'hello i am sean, can you please tell me where i am, i'm really scared' etc etc it could of been anything! I just know it was lame and weird. The guy was like '...what' and I then reverted back to normal communication. It got more and more awkward because he obviously thought I was taking the piss. There was a tv on in my room and at one point the guy said 'is that someone laughing?' and I was like 'nooo it's just the tv' but it sounded really false even though it was true. Ah, good times.

If you're callin' 'bout my heart
It's still yours
I should've listened to it a little more
Then it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong
And by the way, boy, this is no machine you're talkin' to
Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you

Okay, no. I answer with "hello?" because I'm boring.

[Bubba]

Unknown number: "Hello, Danny speaking"
Family: "Hi"
Friends: "Hi!"
Best friend Chris: "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Every time.

[Loony BoB]

Danielle: "Heya."
Family: "Hello!"
Friend: "Gudday mate." or "Heya."
Work: "Hello, this is Daniel speaking." or "Hi [name]." if I know who it is (I generally do, the work phone tells me who's calling if it's internal and it generally is internal).
Unknown: "Hello, this is Daniel." or "Hello?"
