People who elicit violent urges

Woman on phone*: Hello, may I speak to J?
me: I'm sorry, he's not available right now. [totally a lie] Would you like his voicemail? Oh- never mind, I just remembered his voicemail is full...
Woman: Do you know when he will be available?
me: No.
Woman: Ok. Can I leave him a message?
me: No, I'm sorry, his voicemail is full.
Woman: This call may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance purposes.
me: ...ok...
Woman: Ok, well then, I guess I'd like to leave him a message
*pause*
...in his voicemail.
me: No, you can't. His voicemail is full. It's... no more messages... you can't leave him one.
Woman: Ok, I'll call back then.

*sounds remarkably similar to free magazine subscription renewal woman, one of my sworn enemies.
