If you call my number and ask for me but don't identify yourself, I am not going to tell you that I'm me.
"Hello?"
"Is this RetiQlum?"
"Who's calling?"
"Monica. Is this RetiQlum?"
"Monica from which company."
"Is this RetiQlum?"
"Monica from which company?
"Is this..."
*click*
I seem to remember learning phone etiquette in like 3rd or 4th grade where you are supposed to say, "Hi. My name is $foo calling from $bar. May I speak to $baz?"
Was I the only person who learned how to properly address someone on the phone? |
