I think it’s expectations. People expect to hear hello. I have answered “Hey there” and I get back, “what?” and then I say hello and the person is less confused.

Try having goats and have 4 year old children visit . You get some priceless questions…

"I was also asked “how soft is the cat’s hair?” My answer was “8″" Hilarious! (A guy I work with warrants the Duuuuuude greeting. I don't believe we've called each other by our real names in a year or more. For some reason, we are "Dude" to each other, except when we have to speak to each other in front of clients. Then we have names.) .-= Junk Drawer Kathy´s last blog ..We Have a Winner! =-.

I have fantasies about answering the phone all confrontationaly, just to make things interesting. But once you start down that path, the phone will probably stop ringing all together.

I suggest you go buy some ear plugs…and don’t answer the phone. You won’t be able to hear anyway.
I agree the whole Bikini Bottom scenario is a conundrum not to be questioned.

Chris, what do you have against the ophthalmologist’s receptionist? I’m with you, I don’t answer the phone if I don’t know who it is, or if I don’t want to talk to them, usually I feel too guilty to really pull that off but I think about not answering.

Mike, I was asked why they have beaches and bathtubs in Bikini Bottom this morning. That is a stupid question. We have discussed ad nauseum the irregularities in Bikini Bottom and have concluded that one must simply not question the why of Spongebob. I was also asked “how soft is the cat’s hair?” My answer was “8″. The kid shut up and contemplated that for about three minutes. The most peace I have had all week.

Kathy, I have to know, who warrants “Duuuude”? I’ve been known to answer “Hey, Chica” and another very off color and politically incorrect greeting to a friend of mine with urban roots who insists I say that when she calls. I can’t even write it here but it comes from some hip hop/gansta rap song. I hope your lungs settle down soon.

Katherine, I’m actually considering getting rid of my voice mail through the phone co. and go back to using the answering machine that is part of my phone. I’m torn about it which is odd since I get maybe three voicemails a week. I work at home so no one ever has to leave a message.

Moooog, I looked at this comment on my cell phone as I was feeding the dog, loading the washing machine, emptying the dryer, tripping over the animals and dirty socks, and my daughter was asking me questions about the level of softness of the cat and Spongebob, I seriously contemplated this answer for a moment.

I’m one of those people who looks at caller ID and answers according to who’s calling. Either “Hey,” “‘Hi, whoever’s calling” or “Duuuude!”

Feel better! I’m still coughing up a lung over ten days into this thing, so I feel your pain.

Hello? I’d answer your question about caller id, but it seems like dumb question to me. You’ve denitely been spending too much time with kids.
