"Um, oh, OK. Yeah, I'll take the number if you have it."
Since when did answering the phone in your own home get so weird? |
you made it weird with telling them your name and asking please, as if you were the one calling.
imagine going into a deli and asking the clerk if you can take his order. role reversal.
as we know, the only appropriate phone answer is silence and heavy labored breathing. when they ask "hello hello", you wait 3 seconds and say "who the **** is this" like batman. they rarely call back.
