My mum (45) does it, my dad doesnt answer the phone and if he does because he never does he doesnt know what to say, so he sort of answers it with 'Hello' in the style of the 'O RLY' Owl Tis funny

i just phoned my mum and asked her why she used to do it. apparently many years ago BT used to tell you to answer the phone in that manner. still cant think why the fuck you would want to though.

My mate called me fromhis house phone a few years back, it came up as 'Phil'. I returned the call thinking it was his mobile as it showed up the same. As soon as someone answered I yelled 'Alright you fucking shit flicker?' Then I got his Mum replying.
They have taken it in good humour but anytime I go round they say 'Alright shit flicker' and they are in their late 50's/early 60's.

Still happens
It's mainly older people 60+ i work in a hospital and sometimes have to ring patients etc. and some of them answer their phone with their number!
Had a old woman on once and she forgot her number when answering so put the phone down on me
