    i usually just say hello if i dont know who it is and if i do.. depending on the person... say... "heeeeeey" or "hey, what up?" or just "yo" and start listening or talking depending on who is returning the call.

    I say "Hello?".

    I used to know a guy who would answer the phone with a "Talk to me..." Like he was Donald Trump or something. He just sounded stupid and annoying. (This was back before call display.....I'm so old..:D)

    I can usually see who's calling and depending on who it is.. I make silly voices when I answer the phone. :D If I don't know who's calling I say "Hello".

    I go with the dominoes bit a lot. I need to stop doing it to people other than my friends though cuz people keep hanging up.

    Generally I just go with "Yeah......"

    same here): the worst is when they throw in a sweetie 'Are your parents availible sweety?'-yuck. Erhm just hello and if I've been working too much I'll start to answer 'this is lynsey'.

    I answer "good morning/ good afternoon Steel Door" at work

    at home I usually answer the same if I'm not careful. othern than that it's just hello with a drawn out 'ooo' at the end

    when i use to have caller ID back when i use to answer my phone, i would just pick it up and asked what do you want or why are you calling me, something along the lines of that...
    But i just answer with Hello or yeah...

    Office - Surname only.

    Cell - depends on the call. Something along the lines of 'hi'/'what'/'damn'...
    No Caller ID - no answer, only canned VM giving cell no.

    Home - don't have one.

    i say, what the fuck do you want. no really.


    people often call me pretending to be someone else but its pretty easy to tell who it is coz they're fucktards.
