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

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