The verb 'to handle' cannot be used to express the idea of an event 'being held' or 'taking place' at a certain location.
The verb 'to handle' cannot be used to express that an object was 'placed', 'put' or 'hung' somewhere. We might say that the jackets were hung on the wall; this originates from the verb 'to hang'. Often we 'hang' things on a small hook.
In this context, the verb 'to handle' means to physically manipulate or even 'to touch'. It is related to the noun 'hands' and is one of the most common meanings of the verb. 'Handle with care' is often marked on packages and simply means that the item inside is 'fragile'.
Do not mistake the verb 'to hand', which means to pass something (to someone). The verb 'to handle' cannot be used to express this.
As a reflexive verb, 'to handle oneself' means to 'conduct oneself' or 'to behave'. The sentence 'Susie always handles herself with dignity and class' means that Susie always 'conducts herself' or behaves with dignity and class.
This is a correct use of the verb 'to handle'. Here the verb expresses a similar meaning to the verbs 'to treat' or 'to manage'. The sentence 'I didn't like the way the problem was handled' expresses that the speaker didn't like the way the problem was 'managed', 'treated' or 'dealt with'.
The verb 'to handle' expresses a meaning similar to the verb 'to tolerate' or 'to take' in this sentence. 'To handle the pressure' is a common English idiom (both American and British).

This statement is true. Kevin says: "I would greatly appreciate it if I could receive a call back from a manager".
This statement is false. Although Kevin is given two options, neither of them includes "hanging up the telephone", which describes ending a call by placing the receiver on the cradle (of most traditional phones). The voice on the machine actually requests that the caller "stay on the line" which is a request to remain on the telephone and to wait for something or somebody.
Kevin begins his message by saying "Hello, this is Kevin Connors, a long-time customer of Greenback & Trust". A "longtime (customer)" has been a customer for a long period of time.
In Kevin's message, Kevin says that he has found a "discrepancy" on a recent bank statement. He is calling about this mistake, and not because he doesn't have any money.

"Please hold" is a shorter, and grammatically correct, version of "please hold the line". This expression is frequently used during telephone conversations: either with a real person, or an automated response service. Example: "Please hold. We are trying to connect your call".
It does not make sense to use the term "quit" in this context. To "quit" means "to stop". Example: "I'm trying to quit smoking". It cannot be used to ask someone not to "hang up" the telephone or to "stay on the line".
"Wait a second" is a polite way of asking your correspondent to "hold the line", and is very useful on the telephone. Example: "Wait a second please, I'll see if she's available".
This is grammatically incorrect: the term "patient" cannot be used as a verb. It is either a noun: "The doctor sees 100 patients per day", or an adjective: "Julia is a very patient woman".
"To hang up" is to end a phone call: the opposite meaning to "please hold the line"!
