One of my pet hates in work - and I'll admit that I have rather a lot of them - is answering the phone only for the person at the other end to say with suspicion, "Who's speaking?" I react with gobsmacked indignation every time. "You phoned me!"

Bah. *G*

Have just splashed out on a couple of football tickets each for Small and myself to see Wales' next couple of home games, in March and June. £49 for four tickets to see internationals. Not bad at all.

I hate that too!!!! That's why I have Caller ID at home.. I never answer to anyone whose number isn't even appearing :)
Have fun in the football matches next couple of months!! I'm jealous.

In that fantastic Millennium stadium? (Sorry, not up on football!) An experience in itself, I should think, if so!

That is one of my pet-hates too. Once this woman rang up our house because our number was on her 1471 after someone rang her hours before. She wouldn't tell me who she was, just "You rang me. Who are you?" Well annoying.

"What number did you call??"

I can instantly think of several snippy replies to "Who are YOU?", but I'm not gainfully employed and wouldn't lose my job if I followed first impulses ;-) :

~~ "Gosh, don't you know? I was hoping you could tell me!"

~~ "Hold on a second while I read my nametag again...."

~~ "If you don't know my name, why did you call me?"

... and so on. (Best you don't hire me to answer your phones, 'kay? [Snerk snerk guffaw!] )

That irritates me beyond words when the caller asks me who I am. I don't know who you are so why the heck should I give you any info about me.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets these inane phone calls. ;)
