Temp agency wanted me to start a new job next week and I lied and told them I would be out of town, then had the audacity to complain I didn’t tell them sooner

I made a post recently about how I got hired at 3 places at the same time. The background check came back faster for the temp job and I’m still waiting on the other 2 better jobs that are permanent roles. The temp rep contacted me Friday and told me I started on Monday (tomorrow). This was far faster than I expected (plus I really don’t want this job) so I lied and said I would be out of town for the holiday. The guy had the audacity to get annoyed and asked why I didn’t tell him sooner. I told him it wasn’t his business to know and I also wasn’t expecting to start so soon so I didn’t feel compelled to say anything. I also quickly mentioned I don’t get PTO or paid holidays through them so telling them mattered even less to me. He quickly got off…

He quickly got off the phone but not before rescheduling my first day to a week from Monday. Hopefully my background check comes through soon so I don’t have to worry about starting a job I don’t have much interest in.
