Besides lawyer + cop, what other jobs requires arguing with hostile people?

Accountants.

I told one guy he owed $17,000 in income tax for the year and he just about shot me.

Then he put his head on the desk and started crying. Quite bizarre.

No you don't.

I worked for Revenue Canada (equivalent to the IRS) when I was in university chasing after people who didn't file tax returns. These were not happy people. I left that job at the end of the summer, never to return.

Customer support for any company that deals with people's money. Paypal, ebay, online brokers, online banks, ect.

People explode when odd things happen to their money.

I figure i would learn faster if i'm immersed in it. Thus i'm looking a part time job that requires arguing w/hostile people.

So what kind of part time jobs are there that require arguing?

I am stunned no one has mentioned the most obvious

Husband, wife, mother, father, brother, sister (and even first cousins if they live close enough) (and dear God dealing with them can be a pain in the *ss job)
