Sounds disrespectful due to the tune. Those lines are for contacts I do not have in my phone and I rarely make use of those words.

You called to earn respect or you had a message to deliver?

ChybuzzDD:
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.

It depends on who is calling. If it's someone familiar, I say 'talk to me' when I pick up the phone. But if it's a person I am not familiar with, I just say the usual hello

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,

Exactly what I do
