I've noticed that my mom always sounds really nice when she picks up the phone, She has amazing phone manners.
I, personally, do not. I mean, when at school I have to say "It's a great day at sherrill's, how may I help you?". But at home, I just talk normal.  I mean... I am polite most of the time anyways, but I dont... try to be over-polite or go out of my way to be really really nice. 'Cause I normally am nice as it is.. So yeah. hahaDo you guys have good phone manners? or do you just act/talk normal? |

As I usually talk in Cantonese, when I answer the phone, I say "wei?"... which is normal. I think I have okay-ish phone manners.
