I answer the phone. A lot.
One of the things that makes me smile (and sometimes grit my teeth) is someone who, when I answer with the required phrase, starts their sentence with "Yes..."
Me: "Da da da da dadada, this is Kristi"
Them: "Yes, may I speak to...."
Or how about the people who would like to ask you a question, and start their sentence with the word "question"? Hoo boy.
"Question, what do you (enter question here)...?"
Why don't we just put all these people in the same room and save everyone some time?
"Question..."
"Yes..."
See? Done.

Question. You know I only say that cause I know it bugs you, right? I'm a brat like that.
My husband is a 'yes' man. But he only does it on the phone. That's so weird.
Remember, you can always use 'the question'. Does that sound stupid to you?
I don't get it.
Sheri, you'd have to read Kristin's blog. Look under my links and it is the "seriously" one. Pretty fun.
Oh,migosh. One more thing to add to my l-o-n-g list of anxiety producing triggers -- is the person on the other end going to blog on my phone habits? JK. I personally am a "mmm-Bye" person or so my children say.
Well, Jen can't handle it when people refer to themselves in the 3rd person. Oh, wait--that's you again.
Thats a whole other blog!
