Yes and nothing worse than someone calling you and putting you on hold.

Mags, I say it to my children and friends in a sort of sharp voice! Sometimes they are taken aback but then l laugh and say, ‘I’m only joking’!
I think l need to grow up!

Re: How Do You Greet The Caller On Your Phone?

Hi, it's only me, having a laugh, how can I help?

I'm calling about your accident

Who do you want to speak to? I can't put you through without a name.

Re: How Do You Greet The Caller On Your Phone?

My phone announces who is calling, so I wait to hear who it is before answering, if indeed I do! Then it’s a hello or hiya. If it’s mum’s cousin I answer with ‘hi J***’ and she says (always) ‘how do you know it’s me?’ And I reply, every time, ‘my phone tells me.’ But then maybe she hasn’t heard of, or got, caller display.
