Apart from Hello, how else do you pick your calls? — Lady sparks hilarious phone etiquette debate

AI suggest how to pick your calls, grouped by purpose or context:

📞 1. Work / Office / Customer Service (Professional Tone)

Use these when you're handling business, working in a formal setting, or dealing with clients:

“Good morning/afternoon, [Your Name] speaking.”

“Hello, this is [Your Name], how may I assist you today?”

“Thank you for calling [Company Name], [Your Name] on the line.”

“Customer service, how may I help you?”

“Yes please, go ahead.”

🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🏽 2. Friends, Family & Casual Contacts

Use these when you're relaxed, familiar with the caller, or just being friendly:

“Hey you!”

“Wetin dey sup?” (Nigerian Pidgin)

“My person, talk to me.”

“I dey, how far?”

“Omo, I been dey wait your call!”

“Guy! Na now you remember me?”

😎 3. Fun, Bold or Stylish (for humor or personal branding)

Perfect for when you’re trying to sound cool, confident, or playful:

“You’ve reached the hotline of greatness.”

“Speak your truth.”

“Yes boss, your humble servant dey here.”

“Hello, the vibes coordinator speaking.”

“Talk to the champion.”

“Who wan collect today?” (jokingly)

Howdy….

Lol. Recently, I have been going " heey! Who know me?!" When I pick calls because getting a call has become very rare right now.

Mine is hello, who be this or hello, who dy talk.
I no dy speak English for fone.

Who be this....

Heeeeeey! Aloha! Hiya! Hello? It depends on my mood and who is calling.

Kajaard:
Who dis?

Waa Gwan

Whad Up!

If you pick my calls and ask "who's this?" as your first response, i end the call immediately.
It shows that the person is immature, disrespectful, lacks emotional intelligence and is careless/not mindful.

Ewesoo!



Proudly Jebusian!

Learn not to take life too seriously. All these stiff folks. Nonsense.

Hope you don't ask people "who's this?" as your first response when they call you?

You should first exchange greetings, and ask: May i know you? Or May i know who I'm talking with? Or Can/Could you introduce/identify yourself, please? Etc.
That's how it should be.

Xup?

Normally if it’s a private caller or a new number, I pick and won’t talk, the caller’s duty to make the intro while I listen

If it’s a known caller I respond

Me: Yes,

Idan
