So, I am currently seeking a tenant for one of my units.  I posted an ad on Craigslist and waited for people to respond.  I received several responses, and I am still screening, but let me tell you about one call I had.

I get a call from, let's call her Tammy, as I am driving home from work.  I give her the speech to tell her about the unit but then I get a call from work - my 9-5.  I ask her if she could hold on for a moment while I take the call.  She agrees.  (I did not put my phone call on mute.)  I answer my work phone and begin talking to one of my Supervisors.  It is about an employee who witnessed an incident and had to testify on what she observed.  

Keep in mind that I do not work for law enforcement, nor am I an attorney.  But Tammy only hears my end of the conversation, where I say "...she has to testify", "...Yes, he was arrested.", "....I spoke with the prosecutor." and "....we are legally obligated." - you get the picture.

Now, I am not sure what she was thinking, but when I hung up and got back to her, I and said, "I am so sorry for keeping on on hold."  She replies, "That's OK."  

But then she hangs up.  At first I thought that we got disconnected, but I called her back - no answer.  I called back a minute later - no answer.  I called back 20 minutes later - no answer.

I don't know where she thought I worked, but she wanted no part of it.  I guess I found a new tenant pre-screening process.  LOL!!
