When you answer the phone what do you say? Hello, hey, what do you want, who the hell are you or something else?

I sometimes answer with "you've reached the nuthouse, what can I do for ya!"

Obviously if I'm waiting on an urgent call I won't do that.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Thank you for picking my answer as MHO

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I like to go, "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" or "wasssupppppppp!" Then if it's a wrong number, they get all confused. And I have advantage now.

[FunkyMonkee]

I usually just say, "Hello." Sometimes, I might say, "It's your quarter". My brother thought he was a cross between Clint Eastwood and Upson Pratt so, when he answered the phone, he'd just kinda bark, "Talk to me!"

[AviatorTom]

I only answer the phone if my phone recognizes the number and displays the person's name, which means it's someone I know in my Contacts list. So, I answer with "Hello <name of person>".

[Dinklex3]

Depends on who is calling me. If it’s a number I don’t know or someone I’m not familiar with I say “hello”.

A lot of other times I’ll open by saying the person’s name.

[Drew-1990]

Depends on the person honestly. Sometimes it's hello, hello this is Drew (if it is a work call) or it's what do you want (with certain people to be funny not mean)

[CheeseMonster]

I just say "Hello?" in my phone voice. 99 times out of 100 it's just a scam call and I just wait to hear the pre-recorded "hello?" so I can hang up.

[Dbtr99]

Depends on who it is , i sometimes answer the phone in a funny way unless it’s a doctor’s office or something.

[DryGermanGuy]

"Who diz?" :-D

[Red_Arrow]

Harry's Pool Hall. Who in the hall do you want?

[spartan55]

If it's a very close friend they might get a "YO!" or "what's up dude?"

[sheikalana]

I usually say Hello. When my Husband calls me I say 'hi babe.' When my managers call me I usually say 'hi *insert name* good morning/afternoon'

"Joe's mortuary, you stab 'em we slab 'em".😆

[thegreenyogi]

😅😅😅😅

[RebelinSteel]

I don’t say anything, they phoned me, they can speak or not and then just go

[Jay-_-]

I say "yuuuuuuuur" or "yo" if it's someone I know, if it's a professional call I say "hello, who is this?"

[Arik_jade]

Good Morning, This is Arik.. who am I talking with?

[MrZameer]

I do say
Assalamu Alaikum.
Cause I'm Muslim.
and Assalamu Alaikum means blessings on you.

[jack1924]

You don’t need to say that you are Muslin all the time… also Muslins when they answer the phone they don’t say that.. they will say Alo or halo

[jack1924]

Muslim*

[MrZameer]

I'm talking about myself.
Not about others.

[FenixG45]

"Hello?" If they're pitching something, then I say, "No thank you" and hang up. If it's a number I don't recognize, I usually let it go to voicemail. If it's important, then they'll leave a message and I respond. How about you?

[IslaTheWitch]

"halo"

[spartan55]

Like the video game?

[IslaTheWitch]

@spartan55 lmao

[Anonymous]

I usually say hi, or the persons name if I know who is calling me.

[NathanDavis]

"yeah"

[IslaTheWitch]

it's dangerous :D in Europe some sales bots call you and when you answer "yeah" or "yes" they take it as your consent to whatever they called you about :D

[Drew-1990]

@IslaTheWitch one reason I no longer answer the phone unless I know the number or expecting a call from a number I don't know.

[NathanDavis]

@IslaTheWitch I heard that was also a common tactic used by the British... if you responded a letter, sent back a dove... or just saw a smoke signal, then you were already a colony

[EmmaMary]
