Number 11 is a pet peeve of mine. When you call somebody, the first thing you should do is identify yourself...but most people call and immediately demand, “Who is this?”. It would be like me going up to someone’s door wearing a mask and asking the homeowner to tell me his name.

I never tell anyone who I am when they call. I just ask them who they were calling. Usually they apologize and tell me.

I always tell those folks that you called me, who do you think it is?
