Do you like to answer the telephone and say 'hello' to the people on the other end?

Yes that is how I usually answer the phone unless I forget I am at home, then I say, Hello, this is Kingsview Animal Hospital, Colleen speaking, how may I help you. Sometimes I do that, especially if I am tired.

Only if they call first.

When I answer the phone yes I say hello

sometimes, but if i recognize the nmber i usually respond by saying what.

Well when someone calls i say "hello?"

I say Hey since it's my phone.

yeah normally, unless its one of my good friends then I normally say somethign stupid

I say what's up

Yes

yes..but if it's a friend i say "what do you want?"

i have caller id, so i answer it differently depending on who's there.

no

I hate answering the phone, thank goodness for "caller id"!

Call me and find out.

Nah, I like to say things like "was up punk" or... "yo.. shawty..." or..."dude..."... or somethin random.. Im a random person!

One time I was looking at a drawing from my niece, and it was labled "thing" and I answered the phone while looking at it and I said. "Hello thing"

yeah and i ask them where theyre calling from.

no i say "we know who you are and where you sleep and were coming for you in 5....4.....3.....2.........1........" hang up ***busy signal**** real funny

Not really..sometimes..

Yes, like to answer my phone with a "hello".

sure

yeah I say hello, but if I know who it is I usually say HI ___

even if Im the one who is calling I say HI, my name is Jennifer (this is only if it is a business and I am asking for someone) or I say hello.

please answer my question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

No. I always let my machine pick it up in case I don't want to talk to the person. But, yeah, then I say "I'm here!" if it's someone I WANT to talk to. I do not say, "where you at?"

yea I pick up and say hello but if I reconize the number and if it's close family like aunt uncle friend I sometimed pick up and say "We don't want no girl scout cookies"

do you like to call ppl and ask "may i ask who's calling"?!

Okay this is one of the rare times I'll give a truthful answer and not something silly...

I always answer with the same monotonous tone and message that I put on my answer machine..."Hello you've reached the home of (our names) we can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave a message after the beep we'll get right back to you."

After that I give a little pause and say, "Beep..okay you can speak now, I'm not a recording!"

my sister-in-laws just cringe if I'm the one that answers...

It seems to work for me.

Yes I do that.
