At work I answer my work phone as it rings (only my boss calls me on that), unless i'm in the middle of talking to someone or explaining a problem/solution to them. My personal phone I don't answer at work if anyone is around me. 9/10 I'll silence it on the first ring and let it go to voice mail.
I do work alone a lot, so I answer my phone as it rings. If I am going through a line, I will tell the person to hold on and complete my transaction. I get annoyed when someone answers their phone while I'm trying to explain a problem/fix for their PCs/network (or how much of an idiot they are) and tells me to wait. In the long run tho, they are paying me $85 an hour for me to listen to them talk to their wife.
I got really irritated yesterday when this older lady who runs the books for a non-profit made me upgrade a piece of software her network couldn't handle. When the install screwed up her accounts, she wouldn't get off her phone to listen to me explain why it wouldn't work. She literally told me to talk to her why she was asking about her son's grade in middle school math. I finally just gave up, let her talk for 10 minutes (While I played risk on my phone), then told her the solution. At the end of the day, I tacked an extra hour on to her bill for having to put up with that shit.
In the end I agree with Plan9, excuse yourself and go somewhere else to talk. I don't care as long as you don't do it in front of me. I'm polite about it, I expect the same thing from you.
