Don't call me on the phone and then say "Who is this?"

[SunnyD]

Dumbasses... introduce yourself properly or get off the god damn phone and never use it again.

/rant

(My response to those that do that to me: "Who is THIS?" - you're not going to get my name until I know who you are first.)

 

[waggy]

no shit. i hate that.

had one guy call then ask who this was when i said "hello". i told him he called me he should know. his response was "who the fuck is this" i hung up.

 

[her209]

Who is this?

 

[Cogman]

Wait, you didn't answer my question, Who IS this?

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

Heh, one of my more awkward friends did this once when my dad picked up the phone.

Dad: Hello?
Him: Who is this?
Dad: Who is THIS?
Him: Uh, Ryan...is CV there?
Dad: Yeah...

I love those calls. If it's a guy I tell them I'm from their doctor's office and we got the test results back, it's definitely syphilis. If it's a woman, she's pregnant.

Edit: I should mention that I have caller ID and I do this if I don't recognize their name.

 

[moshquerade]

caller ID?

actually, i do the same thing when asked by the caller "who is this?" i throw the question back at them.

 

[CrackRabbit]

No, who is this is?

my phone number was one off a local clinic. i will get calls asking for results and such (its a free/low income clinic). first time they call i tell them they got the wrong number and if tehy call back i make shit up like that.

My phone number is similar to that of a local chinese restaurant. I should start answering the phone with, "Herro? Shitty Wok."

 

[alkemyst]

who are you?

 

[SampSon]

"who do you want me to be?"

 

[Red Squirrel]

That or people who call, they say hi and you say hi, then there's a pause, and they go "hello?". err, if you called me, you do the talking, I can't just guess as to what you want.

 

[amicold]

Ever think you loaned your phone out?

Before I was laid off and then sending my resume out with phone number on it, it used to be that if I didn't recognize the area code I would just ignore the phone. Essentially all of the time it was some sales person, or customer service rep trying to pester me about silly shit.

I hate phones.

I'm going to start answering the phone with "SunnyD is that you?!"

 

[buck]

The couple of times this happened to me, I would answer "this is TBone, wuz up dawg?!".

 

[Tea Bag]

If the number comes up not programmed in my phone with a name, I always answer "This is T".

Our summer place has a similar number to a nice restaurant in the area; we got so fed up at people calling us we started taking their reservations.
