LOL... people always laugh at me when I've got my "professional phone voice" on. My family never hears me sound that way, but my clients love it. One guy commented that I sound like a happy person with a lot of energy. Me? Well thank you! Another told me he likes doing business with someone so energetic.. which reminds me, I must call him back today!

I see my kids on the phone. And I CRINGE. They mumble and do my biggest pet peeve in the world. Here it is
*ring ring*
Kid: Hello?
other person: Is so-and-so available?
Kid: this is him. (or her)

CRINGE!!! Its HE or SHE NOT.... and I repeat, NOT him or her!!! UGH! And they do this ALL the time... usually with me echoing them saying he/she after they say him/her. Two of my kids get calls form college coaches recruiting them for school... and they answer the phone with such poor grammar??? If I was a college coach, I'd question their academics. Especially today where colleges are starting to put serious emphasis on their athletes actually gettign an education! Ok, enough about my little rant!
