    If it's someone I know I say "hey, what's up" or something to that effect, but if not I always answer "This is Brian..."

    If I have caller ID on the person I'll yell their name into the phone as a 'Hello' response. Parents I usually says, "What do you want?" Professionally, I just say Hello? Sometimes I just say, "Yellow," then they ask if I said yellow and I say no xD

    At work I answer 50-150 calls a day, with a company greeting
    (company, Dept. and my name).

    At home, I'm then sick of talking on the phone all day so I DON'T answer it.
    Either my wife picks it up or you can leave a message.

    I always found pressing the green send button was the best way to answer a call.
    Hahahaha! Clever clever

    At work its the standard business greeting.

    At home, I'm usually asleep, because normal people call when the sun is up, and I either don't answer and will call you hours later when I wake up or ill answer and this will happen:

    Me: *groggy voice* hello?
    You: something something something
    Me: zzzzzzz
    You: Wake Up!!!
    Me: *groggy voice* hello?

    And the cycle continues until they get mad and hang up or my drool makes my phone smoke and die.

    Wow I put way too much effort into this post.

    Usually "Yes...."

    If it's a friend, I won't answer the phone. If, on the off chance, that I do, it's usually "Can I help you?"

    I hardly answer the phone without knowing what it's about. I won't answer numbers I don't know, so they have to leave me a voice mail and I'll call back. My friends/family just text/email/BBM me otherwise. I go through about 100, never more than 200 minutes in a month.

    When I answer the phone I say, "Hello" depending on if it's a friend or not. Sometimes I get those calls from unwanted people in which I either don't answer at all or when I do answer at all or if I do I say Uh...what do you want?

    I very rarely answer the phone. Processing mortgages during the boom did me in on talking on the phone... so I avoid it dearly! But when I do... its usually cause I know who is on the other end and answer, "heyyy, 'insert name' " or "what's up 'insert name'. My husband gets a little pissed that I don't answer the phone often but... oh well... just worry about if I answer YOUR calls dear!

    Most of the time, "Good morning/afternoon/evening. Thank you for calling (insurance company), this is Nick. How can I help you?"

    Friends and family get "Hey"

    I keep my phone on silent all the time so I don't really take calls... I just return them (rarely), otherwise I send a text or email.

    If it's a friend or family member I say "yes"
    For professional like my doctor I say "Hello"
    And when it is someone I know and I am annoyed or mad at them I say "What" or "What do you want"

    "Free horsey rides... I mean, doctor's office!"

    I'm not even kidding. It's an inside joke, only certain people get that greeting but I might start answering every call like that...
