Phone rings.
Me: Hello, this is Jim. How can I help you?
Caller: What happened to the way you usually answer the phone?
Me: People got confused.
Caller: At howdyhowdy?
Me: Yeah, I know. It's pretty dumb. Who cares if I answer Bona-acke-me-sigh like that old long-distance commercial? It's my phone, my business, right?
Caller: I guess. Why not just say hi?
Me: Boring. Maybe people will sense I'm being sarcastic with my formality.
Caller: You're an idiot. Why can't you do anything like a normal person?
Me: Why would I want to?
Caller: Good point.
Me: I assume there was a reason for your call?
Caller: Yes... Right. I forget.
Me: And I'm the idiot for not answering the phone with hi?
