How do you answer the phone?

[Thy Winter Kingdom]

I don't even answer my phone. I just leave it to go to voice mail and if it's something important I'll reply, if not I'm usually too lazy to bother.

 

[cinigum]

noone ever called me so i dont know why i botherd with a voicemail, i just thought it would be abit of fun.

 

[lacktheknack]

"Hello?" or, if it's the eighth call in ten minutes, "HAAAAARRRRRRRROOOOOOOWWWWWW?!?!?!" I get fewer and fewer calls nowadays.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

"Hello" normal Caribbean/British accent I have when in not speaking to an American. If im prank calling somebody, I use a stereotyped Indian accent people think I'll speak with when they meet me and talk about "Calling tech support."

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Really depends on who is calling. If its an unknown of blocked number i answer with "newport beach police deparntment, sergeant [insert fake name] speaking".

That is brilliant.

 

[historybuff]

"Hello" if I don't know who it is.

But if it's my cell phone and I know who's calling, I will answer with, "M'yeeeees~" or "Hallo this is Pizza Hut, will this be delivery or carry out?" or something.

me i say shalum, or however you spell tat, even when its serous i go shalum and i say die horribly instead of good bye even 2 me parents

 

[SirHenryBiscuitfist]

If it's someone I know, it'll be "Johnny Bravo".

If not, then it's "Henry here".

 

[Hazy]

"Papa Johns"
Or when I know it's a prank call, "911 Emergency."

 

[Dantes Alaska]

hello? (for people i dont know)

and YO man, or hey whats up (insert friends name her)

 

[Guestowel]

If I answer my phone I just say hello. But if I answer a work phone after hours I answer it, "Thank you for calling (workplace name), My name is God" When I was younger though I used to always answer my phone, "Chucks Chicken"

 

[philosophicalbastard]

Either hello or ello.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Any special form of answering? If it's someone I'm close with, like my siblings, I'll answer with "Cake or death?" and "Ghostbusters". It's always fun to use famous labels or sayings.

It must be fun to have a call for a job interview.

 

[Matronadena]

egh with me it really depends, as half of them could be business related at any time so really it depends on what the ID is..

 

[Phathagmas]

"This is Snake."
It works because my ringtone is the codec sound.

 

[jockslap]

i tend to use a simple "who is it" , straight to the point and if it's a telemarketer (and it usually is) i give a simple "fuck off" and hangup or its a friend, then i follow that with a friendly greeting

 

[Psyco Slim]

"Hello, thank you for calling Burger King. Whats your beef?"

 

[era81]

It's your dime what the hell do you want?

 

[PirateKing]

I usually say "hello." A few times I have said "ahoy-hoy."

 

[PirateKing]

"This is Snake."
It works because my ringtone is the codec sound.

That is so cool.
