I get this a lot, too, people bragging about how important they are, how much they make, and trying to get a credit to compensate them based on how long they've spent talking to me.
And, from my perspective, this is a nonsensical thing to claim, even if I had some means of verifying it. Surely, if your time is so crucially valuable, you'd have an assistant to deal with trivial matters like your phone bill for you? Surely, if you make such an unrealistic amount of money, you can afford to pay your phone bill? Surely, if you're rich, you are less deserving of sympathy for your assorted complaints?

0686-------------------------------------
(Thursday morning, INT: Overdrive Computers)
TP: Do you know who I am?
EB: According to your receipt... Ted Peterson.
TP: That's right, Ted Peterson, of Andrews, Schmidt and Peterson. My time is worth two hundred dollars an hour. I could invoice you for wasting it.
--------------
EB: Well, that's obviously not true either.
TP: Excuse me?
EB: If you really valued your time at just under four dollars a minute regardless of what you're accomplishing with it, it wouldn't be worth it for you to clip coupons, let alone stand around disputing them. You'd have cut your losses and left by now.
--------------
TP: That's it. Manager. Now. In person or on the phone, but I want a the highest level of authority of this company. Now.
EB: Overriding previous requests?
TP: Yes, override, whatever.
EB: As you wish.
--------------
EB: Yo boss, this guy wants to talk to you.
LH: Yeah, I heard. Hi, how can I help?
TP: YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK AND I AM GOING TO INVOICE YOU FOR THAT TOO.
