Well
if you'd let them finish their next sentence would be:

"I've got my cock in my hand....."

I sort of agree with you
but if you have a team where the phone will auto-divert to another person if it's busy, then you can't really be sure. There's also the fact that somebody else could have picked up the phone, so I can occasionally be guilty of this question if the answerer doesn't sound like the person I was expecting to hear.

The question wouldn't be needed if people actually answered the phone properly where I work instead of just grunting!!

That's exactly what we do have, and yes that is the case, but there is still absolutely no excuse for it.
It is incredibly rude - one should introduce oneself first if unsure, and then ask to whom you're speaking.

or when people phone you on your landline and ask you where you are.
