The meanest little man in the world

Today I had the unforunate luck of speaking with the rudest old man. I need a substitute to work my Thursday night meeting and I called this lady that had trained me and worked with me at the beginning. She told me to call her anytime and she would sub if she could. So today I called her for the first time. Here's how it went down:

Gargamel: Hello?
Me: Hi, is Pat there?
Gargamel: Who?
Me: Pat?
Gargamel: (Silence..........)Hello?
Me: Is Pat there?
Gargamel: (Silence......)
Me: Can you hear me?
Gargamel: (Silence.......) Who are you calling for?......Dumbass
and then he hung up on me.

I was flabergasted. So I called back.
Gargamel: Hello?
Me: Hi, is Pat there?
Gargamel: No.
Me: Well may I leave her a message please?
Gargamel: Okay
Me: My name is romaniancracker and I work with her for Weight Watchers. I was in need of a sub and if she could just...
Gargamel: What night?
Me: Thursday.
Gargamel: NO she can't do it, she works all day.
Me: Okay...... thanks...oh and thanks for calling me a dumbass! click.

why did he answer for her? who the hell was this guy? and what crawled up his butt and died? I don't understand. I am so freaking nice to everyone I meet. I treat all strangers as though they are an old friend and sometimes I just get shit on. It's not fair. Corina was going thru something similar today. She didn't talk to some jerk of an old man but she was feeling shit on cause she's so nice. I told her we would start a club. Then our friend Dave came in from IT dept and he was having a similar day as well. I told him to join our club and he could be treasurer. Then we all high-fived.
