Am I the only one who hates it when somebody phones and says their name and then goes quiet, as if they were expecting me to automatically know who they are and divine who they want to speak with? I mean, there's four people in this household. I'm not aware of everybody my parents know. You'd expect that saying "I am X, is Y home" would be common courtesy, right?

I don't have much of a problem with that seeing as how I'm the only one living here. What drives me crazy is when a friend calls, opens with a random cheery greeting and then all is silent while I try to figure out who is calling me. No one ever says, "Hi, it's _insert name_" - they always make me guess. x__x
