Subject: RE: BS: Rude telephone manner
I really hate when I answer the phone at work and the first words out of the caller's mouth are "Who's this?"

After this happened a few times, I realized that it's usually the boss's wife, who has a rather proprietary attitude towards us plantation hands. (The old man himself is not like that at all; as bosses go, he's a sweetheart.) After so many years, Miss Lady and I have become increasingly familiar, and I'm almost ready to start answering back, "Guess who?"
