Am I the only person who occasionally gets a text or phone call from an unknown number that is actually valid? Like has your bank never called you? Or insurance? Or a friend of a friend?
I mean at that point if you’re going to be so hostile why are you even answering? Just let it go to voicemail
If you just add "hi’ to the beginning then it’s a perfect middle. “Hello, who is this?” Nothing is better than letting it go to voicemail, but sometimes you’re in a situation where you might be expecting a call from an unknown number
That’s kind of bizarre tbh but I guess you just never get contacted by folks who aren’t in your phone?
The only folk who have trouble identifying themselves when calling my private phone, are spammers.
To me it sounds like OP’s opener is exactly for people who aren’t contacts saved in his phone. It sounds perfect to me

20 years ago, yes
These days, the only people who call me are creditors (who aren’t supposed to) and scammers

i dispense with pleasantries when my expectation is not neutral :-)
