proper to way to respond on phone?

[JohnCU]

person: "may i speak to so and so..."

do you say this is he/she or this is him/her?

 

I say, "This is [my name]."

 

[Ryan]

I just say "That's me!"

 

[Cuda1447]

I say "Yo, whats up b!tch?" In an inquisitive tone.

same

 

[icejunkie]

"You already are"

 

[FoBoT]

yes

 

[oogabooga]

"this is [name]" or "speaking" seem to be reasonable responses. Also of course "S/he isn't available right now" or "Just one moment, let me get [name]" should you not be that individual.

 

[Sheepathon]

I say, "You have no chance to survive make your lobster."

Yes hold on a second please.

*in a different voice*

Hello.

 

[notfred]

I say, "sorry, I don't want any" and hang up. No one I'd actually care to talk to would say that to me.

of the two, the correct is "this is (s)he"

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

"Speaking..."

 

[amcdonald]

The correct response is, "You're gonna call me and ask me a fvckin dumbass question like that?? Well here's a question for you assmaster! Did you call me? Well who the fvck do you expect to asnwer??!"
At which point you just scream barely indecipherable curses at the phone until your eyes explode.

Edit: Oh yea, you can also say "speaking"

 

[NoToRiOuS1]

"male escort service....dick speaking...how may i help you"

 

[intogamer]

I am busy

 

[HN]

"hold on...oh wait, that's me!"

 

[FoBoT]

"mel's bakery, would you like a roll?"

 

[cherrytwist]

If it's for my wife and it's a telemarketer, I say "she's taking a dump, may I help you?"

 

[PHiuR]

"speaking"
or
"this is he"
