What greeting do you use to answer the phone?

yellllooo?

I get 99% of my personal calls on my cell phone, so usually its a more personal greeting to the person thats calling. 99% of the time that I answer a normal phone is at work, where I greet with "Circuit City Technology this is Mark how may I help you?", and if I actually answer the phone at home (I usually don't cuz all my calls come to my cell), I have to think, because I have a tendancy to use my Circuit City greeting anytime I answer a normal phone....people get really confused

 

[JetsFanatic]

Hello @ home
OSN @ work "The initials for my department"
Hello on cellfone

 

[LordMaul]

"Yo," "Hello," or "WTF do you want?"

However, some 12 years ago, when I was selling high performance auto parts at (now bankrupt) Super Shops, we used to have to answer with "Thank you for calling Super Shops, where we have BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on sale for as low as $39.95.." That was really, really ridiculous..

That is quite possible the longest greeting ever.

Depends on my mood.

"Go."
"mmmmyelloooooo"
"Speak to me."
"Yeah."

"Kelly's pool-hall, Eightball speakin'."

 

[Darein]

"Hey" or the good ol' "hello". "Speak" or "How's it" work too.

 

[Evadman]

Joe's Crab shack, we got crabs!

Or:

This is dave.

Home: Hello?
