living in birmingham i like to answer the phone with "Seaview Guesthouse.."

had a Australian friend a in uni who got a lot of enjoyment from answering with "G'day, at the third stroke, the time in Adelaide will be.."

Just pick up and breathe heavily down the phone...occasionally muttering death threats until they hang up.

Mobile - "Yellow" or "Satan speaking. Who in hell do you want?"

Home - "Hello" or if I know the number *big long sigh down the phone* "What do you want?"

"I'm sorry I don't speak english."

"What?"

"Not a word, sorry."

"Oh, ok."

"Bye"

"Bye"

Its a laugh until its the area manager on the phone

We always spoke to customers so that wasn't a problem, unless they asked us to repeat our name during the call

Who does funky accents while answering the phone? My mate at work does a right good jordie one

I don't know about jordie but since basically everyone in my work has a geordie accent we used to get more inventive

For about 2 years I answered the phone with "go", in a sort of 'hurry up, cmon, speak your peace' kind of way. I was of course a stoner at the time, and found it most amusing.

I have a couple at work I like to use....

'Menswear' is my favourite, it always gets a giggle from whoever is ringing.

'Battersea dogs home, chief barker speaking' is another one, although not so funny.

Hello, Faulty Towers.

Siliconslave · 27 Nov 2006 at 10:15

a friend always answers their landline with "hello, whose speaking" which always used to throw me off

"i'm sorry, i'm afraid i can't get to the phone right now......"

When you answer, say: 'Hi, is XXXX there?' or 'Hi, can I speak with XXXX please?' XXXX being random name you just thought up. Gets 'em everytime! Well, except for the time I did it and they replied..'Err..yeah, hang on..'
