Indians crack me up

At work, we have a lot of systems in Bangalore India. A few things that are common for all Indians are that they can talk crazy-fast, their accent is often difficult to understand, and the phone network there must be very unreliable, because if you don't make some noise every five second, they ask "hello?" to see if you are there. After about five times in a minute, it gets annoying. So after the 6th time, instead of answering with "yes" or "I'm still here", I answer with "annyong".

A side note, if someone says "annyong" at work on the third shift, there will be 2-5 replies of "annyong". I've trained them well.
