favorite way to answer the phone

[snlee]

At work - Hi, this is my name
Other times - usually hello, sometimes hey or hi

 

[Dancing Fire]

i say...Hello, who the "F" is this ?

If a good friend's name pops up, I say hello and then her name.
If an aquaintance name pops up, I say hello.
If an unfamiliar number or unavailable pops up, I let voice mail answer.

ETA - I have nearly every number possible in my address book, so if the school nurse calls, I know it's her. I love the power of being able to screen calls and answer those I want and avoid the crazies I don't want to talk with!

If it''s an unkown caller... I answer hello. I am not buying what you are selling. In other words, I am not interested.

Most times, I just answer saying I am not interested, take me off your list....

LA Times came up the other day on the caller ID. I answered with "Joe's Pizza." Silence on the other end followed by "Uhhhhh."
