hello?

why do people reply to the answering of a phone 'hello' with hello?

its like....you ring

and i pick up and say hello?

then you say hello?

but see...thats MY job.

as the answerer of the phone...i have the duty to say 'hello?'

YOU have the duty of saying 'hello....' then continue on with who you want to speak too

by answering my 'hello?' with 'hello?'...we end up going in circles.

i get put in the uncomfortable position of saying hello again...when i've already said hello.

the conversation would then go

andy: hello?

person: hello?

andy: hello?

person:....hello?

true story.

and i was thinking....it would be good to get hit by an ambulance....because then they could just hop out and trundle you off to hospital.
