Can we say foot in mouth?

Oh my gosh. I am dying here. In our office, we have two desks in the main office and then the manager (Cindy) has her office to the side through double doors. She can see one of the desks from her desk, but not if a prospective resident, or resident for that matter, is sitting in front of the desk.

So here's the story. My co-worker, DJ, has spent the last hour or so showing a prospective resident everything we have available. She kept coming back in the office to see check things because he didn't like what she was showing him. One time, he was asking her if she knew anywhere nearby that had studios available. When she came back from showing him the last apartment, she sat at the desk and he across from the desk. Neither one said anything and she just started typing on the computer.

This is when Cindy says from her office "So, DJ, you just wasted all that time with the guy and he only wants a studio?" ??!!

I almost lost it right there. He just kind of glanced in the direction of the office, and when I looked at DJ, she said "I think she is talking to you." I had no idea what to do!!! The guy obviously knew who DJ was.

DJ kept her cool and finished with the guy. (She spent another 20 minutes printing out floor plans and giving him prices to see if he liked anything.) As soon as he walked out, she looked at me and we both just gave each other a look like "OH MY GOSH!"

I thought we had lost the guy right there. Luckily, he lives at another property Zions manages in Ogden, so he let it slide. If I were him, I would have said something and just walked out.

Amazing what some people say...
