Oh shit dude, my sympathies. People are insane!

Last year I finally had a break down because of call center work, I've been doing it for years. And I didn't even call out to people! They called me looking for help! And I'm one of those people who care way too much and will bend over backwards to make a customer happy, but its never enough. One day I just couldn't take it anymore, I started sobbing and crying and couldn't stop, and every time I tried to work since I'd start bawling again. So I quit and lived happily ever after, the end!

But the guy throwing the tantrum and the teacher sound very familiar. I've had people scream into my ear, "I WANT MY CABLE AND I WANT IT NOOOOOOOOOW!" Because you know, having on demand porn is a life and death situation. And I DO have a magic wand that solves all problems, but I'm a bitch and won't use it unless you render me deaf. At least I didn't have any of the guys who'd call and hang up until they get a woman, and start masturbating as their talking to you *shudder* And you're not allowed to hang up.

There's a call center down the road from me that I always refused to apply to. Its the calling-out center for things like Red Cross, MADD, anyone who's willing to hire them. A friend of mine did it for two days and couldn't hack it. I've heard horror stories.
