I once worked with a guy with the last name of Fick (German for fuck) and a woman with the last name Lazarus. I found both quite cool. The guy in particular was very offensive with his name, always answering the phone with simply "Fick". I just looked him up and he has changed his last name, probably by marriage. I guess he found it unprofessional in the end.

It's common for German people to just answer the phone with their surname at work. He wasn't being offensive.

Well, "<lastname>, hello?" is quite common. But just shouting Fick! when answering a call is always on purpose, no matter if it's your actual name.

I live in Germany, it's how people answer the phone here, often. Not everyone but a lot, no Hallo after, just name.

I live in Germany as well and with a name like Fick, answering the phone in this manner is a statement.
