How to speak on the phone

Haha the same happens to everyone. Just ignore the other guy and slam down the phone. If it is urgent he/she will call back

These are the kind of people who do not know about proper phone etiquette or manners. Talking on the telephone is no different than speaking with someone in person, but for some reason a piece of electronic equipment between the mouth and the ear tends to make people forget that there is such a thing as phone etiquette. This has happened to me in several occasions calling and asking me first who i am. Because I still respect the one in the other end, I just ask him who he wants to talk to, and what is his purpose in calling, and if he ignores me than i just hang up the phone or if he hangs it right away, i just shrug off my shoulders and forget all about it.

I have an unlisted number because of a stalker last month I had a guy call and ask for Barb when I said he had the wrong number he asked who he was talking to, I told him he had the wrong number again he responded with well who are you, I said that is none of your business you have the wrong number and I hung up. My husband was at work last week when a guy called his cell phone, even though my husband was doing a delivery he answered it with the customer standing there (this is something he doesn't do normally but with me being pregnant he his been). the guy started to yell at my husband so loud that the customer could hear. He accused my husband of answering his wifes phone and having an affair with his wife. My husband responded to the guy well if your wife is 6 foot tall, hairy like a dog, covered in tattoos, and named Frank then I am with her right now but I am defiantly not having an affair with her and he hung up.

I have had the same conversation. I ask them who they are trying to reach. It's frustrating when they won't say or just hang up. Makes you wonder why they called, like if they are fishing for something!

yes i have faced it many times but it is simple if u have hard voice then the other person will (whether u have call or call has came) ur victory is confirm(in case of boys) bt if girls are there on the other side then u should speak softly n she will tell u every thing u want...so simple

There are people who really don't know how to speak on the phone and I have come across some of them. There are some who are at all not polite or courteous when the speak to people on the other end of the line. Then there are those who shout when the speak into the phone as if the person on the other end is kind of deaf or something. They really get on my nerves.

You should speak on phone by depending that who is on the other side of the phone.If it is your boss try to be very polite to them,If it is your Father/Mother/Friend talk to them as you generally do and if it is your enemy then control your anger and try to be nice to him/her

Yes, that's rediculous. I get so peeved when someone calls me, usually on my cell and starts out with "Who is this", I'm like are you kidding me, YOU called ME, who is this? Some people just have no couth and I just don't have the patients to deal with these people.

Happens all the time.. Hi can I talk to John? me: who the hell is that, sorry you called the wrong number they hang up well it happens kinda often, to every one not anything you can do about it. Just live with it and make it a partof your day. :)
