I just answer: "Hi" as I don't have a thingy to know who is calling on my land line!
Though with the huge spate of "cold callers" I get now I need one. They have made me rather rude answering the phone!

Is a random comment good or bad?

I see what you mean by random comment now!!
Good idea about changing your number. I think I may have to

THEY are making me cross. THEY even call at 10PM on a Sunday evening! SO rude.
Hugob: You are not answering your phone.

strangest thing for us dutch. We answer the phone saying our name. All the lot of you just say something like hallo and that is considered being rude overhere.
I've worked enough abroad to know it. But it is still funny. Having to check you're actually speaking to the one you want to speak to.

My phone answering depends on whos calling.
If friend or family its "hi"
If unknown its "hello"
If its a salesman i shout the first random comment that come to mind

If its someone I don't like I answer but don't talk (its their money being wasted

)

puckoberon: I like the idea of saying your name. Do you answer with "??? here" or "hello this is ???" or what. Shall I know just say "red" when I pick up the phone.
I LIKE that.
Hugo: I'm STILL trying....
Nicky: Not talking sounds like a good plan to me... I'm going to try that with the next "cold caller"!
