I ask if they would rather talk to my supervisor. If they are just repeatedly insulting me to try and start a fight I end the call...

Some people will always just try and start trouble. There is no reason to get sucked into it.
Yes, I do agree on that. If after a while speaking up and they just continue then that's when I would just laugh and walk away, unless I know how they behave already. lol

I am laughing now thinking about insults people have told me and I just look at them and laugh and continue doing my work.

Also a zen tip is to only look at the positive that you can take out of criticism even if it's an insult or something mean. If there isn't anything positive to take out of still don't feel hurt from it; it's "their" mind not yours.
