I remember there being three. One who was old and butt ugly, and a complete bitch to boot. One who was probably good looking about ten years ago. There was another who was about a seven in normal life, but as far as we were concerned she was a nine. I don't remember anybody ever giving her a hard time though.

I warned the unauthorized person that if I couldn't speak with and verify the account holder, I couldn't continue the call. She chose to be a bitch instead, all, "I'll tell YOU what's gonna happen."

After some time of this, I finally disconnected the call, told them that I could not continue a hands-free call (exact terminology I used) after innumerable warnings.

About twenty minutes later, a half dozen people crowded around my desk, all laughing. I got off my call, and they were like, "You know that call you disconnected for being hands-free without verification?"

I was all, "Yeah?" because that's not a horribly common occurrence.

"Well, they called back. Turns out the account holder has no hands. Literally."
...but if they didn't tell you that they don't have hands after twenty minutes of this, then they are a moron and you were in the right. Just cause someone doesn't have hands doesn't give them the a pass for being a jackass.
