Phonewitch
Created by: arrrteest
Pronunciation: phōn-wich
Sentence: Becky was an angry employee. She worked late nights at a call center with a hundred other telephone customer service representatives.

Sometimes she would answer, "Please hold while I finish filing my nails," or "Sorry, but we've reached our quota on stupid calls." Other times she would mumble unintelligently until the customer would hang up. When she was feeling particularly good, she would instigate arguments until the customer asked for the manager, at which she would put them on hold for a while and then get back on and pretend she was the manager.
Etymology: phone + witch : also, phonebitch
