Do you like to answer the telephone and say 'hello' to the people on the other end?

Answer 1

Yes that is how I usually answer the phone unless I forget I am at home, then I say, Hello, this is Kingsview Animal Hospital, Colleen speaking, how may I help you. Sometimes I do that, especially if I am tired.

Answer 2

Okay this is one of the rare times I'll give a truthful answer and not something silly...

I always answer with the same monotonous tone and message that I put on my answer machine..."Hello you've reached the home of (our names) we can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave a message after the beep we'll get right back to you."

After that I give a little pause and say, "Beep..okay you can speak now, I'm not a recording!"

my sister-in-laws just cringe if I'm the one that answers...

No. I always let my machine pick it up in case I don't want to talk to the person. But, yeah, then I say "I'm here!" if it's someone I WANT to talk to. I do not say, "where you at?"
