At work: "[insert my compnay name here], this is Robyn, how may I help you?"

At home: "What up?" or "Hello? Helloooo?!"

Cell phone: "Speak."

Its your damn 35 cents.........start talking.

Its your 2 bits, start talking.

Its your damn dime, start talking.

In all reality, I usually say "This is Greg"

for landline phone: "hello"

for my cell phone, it gets a bit more complicated. since i use different ring tones for different groups of ppl, i either have them on no ring so it goes straight to voicemail, or i look at the name and see who it is. if its a best friend, ill answer "hey wassup". if its my gf, "hi baby". for unknown, a simple "hello" but since this is cingular service i use, for the most part i wont get the call and they'll go to voicemail.

If it's my best friend, "sup dork" or "whats going on you ugly sh|thead." For others it's usually a plain "hello."

Usually just the regular hello, but sometimes I like to speak in a funny voice when I answer the phone just to piss off those that are phoning, and cause I think it is funny.

I enjoy pissing off agressive sales people. I act like I'm totally interested in product and ask them all the possible questions about the product, payment and other associated stuff and I'll affirm what they have to say, give them some counter argument, affirm and finally say yes I'd like to buy it, and right when they ask for my info, I'll say oh never mind. Have a sweet day. They usually say have a nice day in very pissed tone.

"House of the Lord, God speaking"

lol...that's great.

I usually just say "hello", but my roommate at college is a freaking psycho, this is what he does when the phone rings:

Gives me a "shocked" look (like the cops are after him) , then I say pick it up!, then he lets it ring one more time, then he picks it up like the way cops do when they try to trace calls (with 2 hands, one picking it up and the other pressing some button). It gets annoying.
