I sometimes say for a bit of a laugh like"Hi, It`s me here is that you?" or sometimes if i might just say "What" which can be amusing aswell.

With caller display being the norm and I know the caller I usually answer by saying 'What do you want - I'm busy' or words to that effect. If it's some number I don't know them a simple 'Hello' is all they get.

For a really patronising conversation, try answering and referring to yourself in the 3rd person. E.g. 'Jack Baeur, speak to me!' and then sign off with something very condesending like 'keep smiling' :)
