When my kids were at home, most calls were for one of them, so I used to say '[name's] answering service, no message too long'

"Stonehenge .... Duty Druid" or I sometimes spell out H..E..L..L..O (that really throws people), or maybe a Little Britain style "yeeeeeeees"

But, if I'm at home ....

my dad always answers the phone
"Stone henge, chief Druid Speaking"

he figures if its someone we know it is funny, if it's not someone we know they shouldnt be calling as that number is exdirectory and we dont give it out.

pretty amusing though. :D

What I really love are those idiots who ring you up and say "Who's that?".

I always say- "Well you should know- you rang me!"

Then I hang up.

PMSL Mick - with you on that one lol

I've often had calls like that - I just say 'well who are you? you rang me!' ......... usually turns out to be a wrong number lol

I had one once 'hello is Dave there?' ........... 'no sorry you have the wrong number' (i know that cos i live alone and don't know a 'Dave' anyway) ............. continues 'are you sure?' ..... 'yes - i'm positive, but hang on i'll go and check he's not in the bedroom' lolol

2 mins later he rings again - same scenario lol

At home I say Hello.

But wrong numbers do make me laugh. They ask for whoever and I say "No, I think you have the wrong number." then they say. "Well, what number is that?" and I say "What number did you ring?" so they tell me the number and I say "No, it's the wrong number." Spare me!
