Was it rude of me to have rejected the interview?

As some of you know, I work for my parent’s at their shop as I am job searching. A customer knew I was looking for a job and he asked me to e-mail him my resume.

I got a call from a lady the next day asking if I was interested in an interview for a call center position. I asked for details and I was really turned off by the random schedule (it wasn’t fixed), it was 40–45 minutes away, and so I rejected it.

Next thing I know, the guy calls me and asks why I rejected and he was very upset. He said I made a mistake.

Honestly, I did not KNOW he had to do with the call center position. The lady said some other guy’s name forwarded my resume to her and that it was from Jewish Family Service company. I didn’t know the guy worked for that company. Keep in mind I wouldn’t have really expected a Muslim West African guy to be at a Jewish center lol. I tried to explain I didn’t know but I guess he didn’t believe me.

Now I have to deal with the awkwardness of him coming into my parent’s store with some tension. Should I try to explain again? If I would’ve known he had something to do with the position then I would’ve probably went for the interview although I was truly uninterested in it. I’m not desperate for a job right now…just to let you guys know I might get a position with PNC bank and my sister is VP there so I know not all is lost from this call center position
