Doe's your mum answer the phone in a posh telephone voice?

and then swear and cuss at ya when she's finished and really she's as common as muck

Hell-lo, Rainbow residence. To whom am I speaking please?

I like your question. x

ummm, no. no one in my family was ever like that. sucks for you. sorry.

yeah, my ma used to do that all the time
it is a woman thing.

OMG my mum does THAT ALL THE TYME !!!!!!! its sooo anoying lol =)

No my mom is nice all the time. That's how i try to be.

Too funny. People do seem to sometimes have different telephone personalities especially when they're talking to someone they want to impress. Once they get off the phone the real personality comes through...Ahhhh

my mum always dies that then if it is her family she will go back to talkin `normal` but if it is someone that she doesnt know she will be all posh n stuck up it is soo embarrising sometimes.

merry christmas

yes brilliant question lol, made me giggle!

haha yea, i thought it was only mine that did it.

YES! but my moms not muck and doesn't cuss at me unless shes angry.

o yes, o yes.... she has a different voice for different people..... when its family on the phone she goes from "Hello" to "howdeee"

Yes and when its an Indian call centre see speaks in an Indian accent without relising.

sometimes - also, her cordless phone has an auto answer on pickup feature, and speakerphone, so when she picks it up she presses the green answer button and more often than not holds the phone next to her head with the speakerphone blurting out.

During the conversation she will say things like "I can hear myself talking", and there is an echo on the line.

Quite amazing - and scary, as she is where my brains came from...

Yeah, it's really wierd. She talks with a South London accent normally, but when she answers the phone she turns all posh. I wonder why...

NO.

Just the reversal of what you've described.

'Hell........o, What the @#@$ do you want @$$H(LE.
That was some meber of the city board doing a survey, dear. I shouldn't think she will be calling back.'

Yep - my mum always done this.

All woman answer the phone in a posh accent. Then rip and snort like a long shore man.

yep she does, but the worst thing is I think I do it myself

if she does answer the phone at all she might

...nope...my mum is my mum...always will be...bless her...happy hols...xxx

lol yes she does, but whats worse is the message on her answer machine it must last 10 mins and doesnt sound anything like her.

No my mom is always nice to everyone, but i have kids and if they are running in the house or fighting when the fight rings i will be yelling at em and then i pick up the phone and i say HELLO in a nice mom voice where before i was yelling like a crazy women so i guess i do it too. LOL

omg lol
my mom does that!! when i ring her she answers all posh and then when she realizes its me she talks in her normal voice its so funny lol

Yes, until she realises it's one of us!

She's not as common as muck but has a tendency to put on her telephone voice ie uses the queen's english when theres a phonecall at home from outside of family/friends, she does it at work too!

Mind you I do it all of the time too. Never answer the telephone at work with 'Yeah?' as I once did! Even though it was only an internal call, I got a right rollicking from my manager!

Not when she's answering, but when she's making a call & wants to enquire about something, it's "Oh, hello, I wonder if you could help me...." in this very polite voice. And yes, afterwards she goes right back to her usual common voice.
