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

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

(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.)
 
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.

 
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.
 
caller ID?

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

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

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.

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.
