I've been popping into my office to check/handle emails and voicemails all week, so as not to neglect anyone, but sometimes you can't please them all....

I get this voicemail from some grumpy ol man up in PA; I've never spoken to him before, never even heard his name before (so it's not like he called me before and I forgot to get back to him)....

"Hi, this is Fred Moe... my number is 610-555-5555... call me back.... " then his voice trails off before he can manage to hang up, and he spits out "FUCKING BITCH.." then slams the phone down.



WTF????? I feel like calling him back and saying "This is the fucking bitch, returning your call...."

us PA people are like that. northerners are rude folks.

I tend to do the absolute silence and let the blow off..... after a while they will stop and ask if you are still there.

Yeah, I have people call me and bitch sometimes. It will seem like they're pausing, so I'll try to talk and they'll talk over me bitching some more. If they talk over me twice, I just sit there in complete silence. When they say, "are you going to answer me?" I reply with, "certainly, I just wanted to make sure you were done talking." I've been hung up on a few times for that one. Maybe it's the smartass tone I use when I say it.

That would be totally classic... I would almost pay money to hear his response when you came back with that.
