My pet peeve is when people call and I say hello, and then nothing...until a few seconds passes and then a recording. I know this is different than what we're talking about, but it burns me up. If I hear nothing when I answer, I immediately hang up.

I get a kick out of it when I call someone and they see the caller ID and answer, "Hey Dots."

I've also played games with people when I see their name on caller ID and have said things like, "We don't want any."

Probably rude, but just having some fun.
