How do you answer the phone?

[Sanguinerd]

Mostly like "this is name"

Or when it's family "I don't want to fix your pc again, goodbye".

I just hiss at the phone and don't touch it.

I pick it up and say hello, like any other normal person. What kind of fuckin question is this?

lol "normal" person.

Some people have anxiety, and by the amount of posts that say they don't answer it'd say that's a lot.

Friend/family: Hi <Person>!

Work: Good morning/afternoon, thanks for calling CMS, this is <antiganon>, how can I help you

Number not in contacts: "Hello, who am I speaking with?" which very quickly escalates to "I am registered on the national Do Not Call list, and will pursue legal action against your organization as well as you personally if you do not immediately remove my phone number from your records"

What app?

Also I answer, "Arrrrrrrrrrrrr"

There's a few different ones. I was using Hiya, but its efficiency at how many it catches went down drastically 3-4 months ago, not sure why, and I haven't found a good replacement yet. The number of telemarketing calls I'm getting generally though has gone down a lot so I haven't bothered looking into the others much.

My work phone I answer “<company name> this is <my name>, my private phone I answer with “hello”
