Although the movie itself was pretty awful, Evan Almighty had one memorable scene. In a nutshell, Evan's wife was doubting and reevaluating if she should continue to support Evan's building of the ark. Morgan Freeman, as God, posed these questions:
"Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"
I think this can apply to me. I deal with many many patience-testing customers everyday. So maybe God is giving me the opportunity to be patient and to be more loving. And I realize sometimes God answers our prayers but it's us who don't realize it.
and likewise he's probably giving your customers an opportunity to hold back their anger/annoying traits
