I let them drone on a bit.

Then they get "it."

"You do realize that you have called a suicide hotline?"

"Uh, no."

"Well you did. And do you realize that your call forced me to put a suicidal person on hold, and you turned out not be be another person in need in my community, but a telemarketer/collection agency/radio station contest?"

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry."

"Sorry isn't helping the woman I was talking to that you interrupted."

If the tone of my voice is just right, I can get most of the females to burst into tears at this point.
You know you fucking rule, right?
