Jesus Now Accepts His Name Being Said In Vain Over The Phone

(In my office, we’re allowed to hang up on a customer if they call you names. We also have caller ID. The phone rings.)

Me: “[Office]. This is [My Name]. How may I help you?”

Caller: *soft mumble, so soft I can barely hear it*

Me: “Excuse me? Hello? Hello??”

Caller: *louder but still mumbling*

Me: “Can you speak up?”

(His speech sounds slurred, as if drunk, but I don’t want to be rude.)

Caller: *suddenly clearly* “CHRIST, YOU’RE STUPID!” *hangs up*

(I was shocked, but I wrote it off as a prank call — we sometimes got those — and went about my business. A few minutes later, the phone rang again. Through Caller ID, I could see it was the same number! I quickly hung up. Sorry, but people who mumble and call others stupid do NOT get service from us.)
