I probably would have said something smart-alec like, "I know enough to cuss you out in 8."

I think you should've made up several languages right there on the spot and said they were all ancient dead languages that nobody speaks anymore, but that they're part of the training you get to be a cable call center staff person, just in case.

Here's what I'd have said (or at least what I'd have wished I said starting 5 seconds after the opportunity passed)

If he had asked me how old I am, I would said "That's none of your business" because it is none of his business. He's a customer, not a parent.

I cancelled my cable service, too, when I found out that there were 20 year olds working there.

Nate, this reminds me of the guy who called you "mormon liberal trash" while you were working for AOL. Such interesting things seem to happen to you at work.
