why do you answer the phone with "hello"

[chambersc]

recently, i've been thinking about this. as a result, sometimes i'll pick up the phone and say "speak" or "house of pain."

 

[minendo]

I wait for the caller to speak once I pick up.

AG Bell wanted to use Ahoy instead but it never caught on.

My friend used to use "Talk to me."

I say hello. It's part of being normal.

Anybody that says anything other than a "Hello?" -type greeting is a fanboi.

Just get Caller ID and then you can answer the phone with "Hi Xxxx, how's it going?"

 

[xSauronx]

i just say whatever im in a mood to say when i pick up

 

[david46675]

in spanish they say "digame" = "talk to me"
i dunno, some people say "____ residence" where "____" is defined as their last name
i sometimes answer with "domino's pizza, is this for delivery or take out?"

[Wag]

I usually say, WHASSSUUUUUUUP!

 

[corpseofworms]

Because its better than picking up the phone and saying "fvck off please."

 

[Slacker]

"It's your dime, start talkin'"
"WTF DO YOU WANT!"
"Yeah?"
"WHAT"


mix and match or use 'em all at once!

At work I just answer with "Tyler" (my first name).

On my cell phone I answer based on who's calling me, since it has built-in caller ID.

I don't really have a phone at home. The only reason I have a phone line is for DSL.
