I just did... and it was work that was calling me! How embarrassing!
-
The short answer is, no. But then again, I don't spend a lot of time on the phone and I customarily wait for a least two rings before answering.
More often than not, I wait for the machine to pick it up. For obvious reasons. :censored:

Absolutely. People really wonder what's going on, when they call your house and the first thing out of your mouth is an office, rank, name and the phrase "This is not a secure line."
:rotf:

Now that would be a bit disconcerting.

Not recently, but I've done it in the past.
-
No, not my real work anyway.
I usually answer the phone with "French Mortuary".
Strangers don't call back.
:lmao: :rotf:
yeah, but do you say it in French?
-

And with an outrageous accent ("you silly king")?

That's hilarious. :-)
My short answer is 'yes'. Hell, I've done it at the drive-through. The problems begin when you start having dreams about being at work.

I started doing it years ago in Albuquerque, where there actually was a French Mortuary.
I think it was run by Mexicans.
Isn't everything in Albuquerque run by Mexicans?
-
Yes, but worse is when I dial 9 for an outside call :whatever:
-
No, but since we have caller ID it's fun to screw with my wife. I've answered "Murphy's Bar and Grill" or my fav "speak". Gets her every time. :lmao:
-
I have an annoying friend that answers the phone with "Talk to me"...Not sure what movie he got it from, but it's not cool. Sigh...guys.... :hammer:

From the Spanish phrase 'digame'. It sounds fine in Spanish, in English it sounds a tad rude.

I remember a movie some years ago about some tough guy wannabe whose answering machine commanded, "SPEAK!" as an intro.
That kinda intro might even rattle a telemarketer.
Nah. No way.

Mabel's Whorehouse Bar and Grill was funny once.
ONCE.

ONCE.
Where the customer always comes first. :uhsure:

Considering the security edicts over where I work (and the fact that because of those edicts, I answer the phone "hello" at work) I answer the phone "hello" at both places.
That or: "Bob's Buckets of Bolts. Louie Speaking."; "Paco's Tacos. 'dis is Ingrid"; or "Mort's Mortuary. You stab 'em we slab 'em. Would you like to hear about our group rates?"
-
Yes, I used to work for a business interiors company in Phoenix. It became 2nd nature to say the company name when I answered the phone.

Actually, it reminds me of that first host of "Cheaters" who always answered the phone with, "Talk to me, Gomez!"
-
We had portable handsets for our work phone and they looked similar to the mobile phone I had at the time. Thus I nearly answered my work phone with my standard mobile phone greeting . "Hello , this is Kremlin , Boris speaking" ...done in a *really* bad Russian accent. I got all the way through "Hello, This is Kremlin" before realizing.
-
And with an outrageous accent ("you silly king")?
Best. Sales Call. Prank. Ever.

I have, but it was much funnier when my grandmother did it.
She worked for a funeral home.
Talk about dead silence on the other end... :-)

I did that a time or two when I was on active duty.
