Buried in this article is the fact that the vast majority of calls are unsolicited automated spam and waiting for the caller to speak first is a good way of filtering them out.
I have learned that Gen Z expects the person calling to say "hello" first, instead of the person answering; upending a century of phone norms. You know what? fine, I say. Phone calls aren't what they used to be anyway www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-phone-...
Gen Z doesn't say 'hello' when answering the phone. I'm concerned.
Gen Z is making up its own etiquette rules when it comes to answering the phone. Some of them aren't saying "hello." They want you to first.

Still bitter about the time a guy in work said he was going on holiday and I asked where he was going and he said, “Santander,” and I said, “So it’s a bank holiday?” and he didn’t laugh.

I used to be afraid of ghosts but then I found out they're not real so now I guess I'm afraid of the living Victorian child that stands at the foot of my bed screaming every night.

I was amused by this too but then I caught sight of this bastard which certainly didn't exist in 2001. Did Craig update the site at some point just to add it? Well it's Tuesday morning and I should be working so obviously I went down a wayback machine rabbit hole to see what happened
