Clicky- Protection (and not the dirty kind!)

So I work as a receptionist and am pretty isolated from the rest of the office staff. Well some crazy guy came in and asked about the price of things (I work at a real estate office). I asked if he was interested in buying or renting and he said he wasn't sure so he just wanted to talk with someone. I went go get him seated when started interogating me about who I reccomended. Not playing favorites I said they were all good and gave him the business card of the gentleman that was on call to assit him. At that point he said he did not like dealing with men, only women (red flag went up). So I retreated back to behind my desk, reiterated that any one of our agents could help him. He wasn't leaving, and then started ranting about car salesmen, his credit, and why he doesn't like dealing with men. Well I got nervous so I called a guy up to just stand up here to pretend to "help" me with my current project.  Well heres me question: I called a guy I know would be there in two seconds and wouldn't question anything. He is not the biggest, most intimidating guy at all...he's actually the youngest and somewhat immature. Would you have called the biggest/most intimidating guy in the office (who may or may not take his time getting up to you desk) or the smaller/not intimidating guy (who would be there asap)??[Poll]

  • I think in that situation just having another body there would help, not necessarily the most intimidating guy, especially since the guy off the street already said he was didn't trust guys.

  • a bigger guy can't protect you if he's late or questioning you about why he's there.

  • I agree all I needed was an extra body. But after the crazy guy left someone inserted their opinion about how I should have called so and so instead...

  • I voted for most dependable guy.  But when I've had sketchy people show up to the front desk, I send a *HELP* email to the HR team (all women) with a short description of the strange person in the lobby, and one of them come to assist me.  I think as long a there is a 2nd person, that is all that matters.
