Have you ever answered the phone with "ahoy"?

Alexander Graham Bell originally wanted to greeting to be "ahoy" when answering the phone, but "hello" became the customary greeting.

Bell continued saying "ahoy" and "ahoy-hoy" for the rest of his life.

Have you ever answered the phone by saying "ahoy"? Or would you? How do you answer the phone?

No, but if I recall correctly the jar of chipsahoy wasn't too far away from the phone dock in the kitchen...

I was going to include a picture of Chips Ahoy, but I was worried about having too many images. Been doing that a lot lately 😬

[DishLady]

Hahaha.

[Agape93]

Nope. I have a friend who says ahoy way too fucking much though.

[DryGermanGuy]

I answer the phone with my name. I'd say, the majority here does.

At work i answer it by saying my name. At home i just say hello.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[RageBabe]

No, have you?

[BCRanger10]

Yep. Been answering intra-company calls like that.

[Miah06]

No😂

[BCRanger10]

You should, just to see what the person on the other end says.

[Miah06]

I might.
