Is it silly to quit over this?

I work at an easy job making pretty good money. Basically I work at a front desk. Lately they have been asking me to get on phones.

Also there is nothing in the job description about answering phones for the call center.

How do I handle this? I've never told them I don't want to do phones but my coworker has and they've been giving her a really hard time. (She has extreme phone anxiety, I've seen her on the phone.. She will literally start hyperventilating.)

Am I just being a huge baby? Would it be dumb to quit because of this? I feel kind of stupid.
