I usually like it. Sometimes I don't when the person is very hard to understand, and the hearing person really doesn't understand them either; especially if they're calling a business and it's not a personal phone call to family/friends.
It also complicates things when the deaf person signs, in the middle of a VCO call, "talk for me" and out of the blue I have to start voicing. The hearing person usually gets VERY confused then, if it's not a family member or someone who is used to the deaf/hoh person & knows they're using relay.
Ooh, or when it's someone who doesn't need our signing services, but wants to be connected internationally to someone else on the taxpayers' dime.
