Fun things to say picking up phone.

[Tribal]

Title says it all. Just wanted to know what NG thought was a cool, funny or interesting thing to say upon picking up the phone.

[Jester]

"Meet me at the pier at midnight, we'll stare into the sunset one last time."

Proceed to hang up immediately before they can say anything.

[SKHM]

"hello"

"who is this"

always funny

[MushookieMan]

"I don't want any"

HAHAH it's funny because it's actually your grandma calling.

[Narusegawa]

Before checking who it is ..
"I AIN'T GOT A PHONE!"

..leaves them wondering.

[Raab]

Lol Rob, that's how I answer all my calls.

One thing that I find mildly interesting is that some people feel the need to say their phone number upon answering. Firstly, I should be aware of the number I just dialled, I mean I did just punch it into a keypad so I don't particularly need it repeated. Secondly, it does nothing to verify that I have called the right number/person because the speed at which they recite their number is often too fast to comprehend.

Thinking about it, I don't find that interesting at all. I guess I was just curious to see if people find that as annoying as I do.

Apparently someone named Howard used to have my phone number and never told anyone he changed numbers. I'm constantly getting calls from people asking, "Is this Howard?" So I've taken to saying "No, this isn't Howard," when I answer the phone.

I do. A fun thing to with people who do that is after they've introduced themselves with the phone number, say "Good to talk to you, my name is (your phone number)" ... it leaves them in a state of confusion and occasionally makes them realise just how daft telling you their phone number when you've just phoned them is.

I'll ask questions like that to telemarketers every now and then just to see how they react.

[Darthleather]

"Get me the president!"

[Boomstick]

"Hello?"
"Oh hai marc"

[MaartenC]

Make cool army sounds, scream, just place the phone on the table and walk away, "HELP! MY BABY IS CHOKING! WHADOIDO?!", "Hey, I can't talk right now... Can I have your cellphone number? I'll talk to you later tonight ok?"

And such.

[RadienX]

i say in a growling, distorted voice "Diablo Here."

i call it The Voice.

and i called it that way before Skyrim came out.

[Quinny]

"Hello, the Somme public baths. No running, shouting or piddling in the shallow end."

An imaginary cookie if you know who said that.

My mom INSISTS on doing that for our answering machine, even though I tried to explain to her exactly what you just said. I mean, is it that hard to say the "Avance" residence, or even "Avance and Gonzales" since my last name is different. Repeating the number will not solve anything, if they happened to dial the wrong number, they can fix that themselves by dialing more carefully the next time.

Maybe she's trying to avoid bill collectors? o_o

Anyway, I tend to be a passive, sometimes even publicly shy person. I have enough trouble talking to a stranger on the phone as it is. I would never try any of these suggestions. My little brother on the other hand has no problem picking up the phone, regardless of caller, and screaming "WHAAAT?" or making a stupid voice or something. And if it is for someone else, like me or my grandma, he will then proceed to make a loud fart noise into the phone right before handing it to us.

I sometimes answer with:

"yes this is escort service! How many delicious Malaysian boys would you like to order?"

"Thank god you called, man. We're in deep shit here... They're onto us... All the agencies, CIA, FBI, DEA, IRS... Fuck man we're screwed! Alright listen I'm going to need you to burn everything and destroy all records... Fuck man, that'll at least get us off the murder charges... After that I want you to meet me on 9th and Wilshire in Santa Monica at the coffee shop... You know what table."

Then just fucking hang up.
