snotty people on the phone? Especially when you are at work, and can't really yell at them?

I just push my mouth into the phone and breathe heavy while speaking to them. Freaks them out.

I do hate that. You don't have to listen to them if they are being abusive though. Ask them to discontinue their behavior or you will be forced to hang up on them. Be cordial and do not raise your voice or sound sarcastic.
Sometimes this will defuse the situation.
Kill them with kindness

Yes, people get all pissy on the phone because they can't see you face to face, plus they know you aren't going to want to lose your job. I think they are cowards.

Oh yes, I hate it when they think its an honor to even speak to them, when its their job to answer the phones.

I just hang up. I'm my own supervisor now so I can finally do that. In fact,it was one of my main incentives for a promotion.
