They may have it rough but there is no way I would take the kind of abuse that was on the recording.

Raising his voice and getting audibly angry would have likely shut down her incessant line of questioning pretty quickly.

It doesn't even have to be a genuine anger...I've done this quite a bit. If I am in a hurry and a service rep ever starts to pry questions into the conversation I just make a little huff and puff and they will generally decide to move the conversation along by just doing as I asked in the first place.

You don't have to be abusive to get your point across...just let them know you aren't listening to their bullshit.
