Covering For Other People - Any Good Stories?

I'm interning in acquisitions this summer for a REPE shop that does multi-family and retail value add. We had a bit of a staffing issue this week at a local property, so as the loyal intern I am, I'm covering today and all next week as an apartment leasing agent which is a liiiiiitle bit different than what I usually do day to day. Does anyone have any good stories from when they had to cover someone else's position? I'm hoping I have some winners by the end of next week.

Well shit. Hah, not what I was expecting, but certainly one hell of a story.

I wonder what he says about his experience when asked during interviews.

I keep being referred to as "A friend of (the president of the firm)"

People here are afraid of me and think I'm going to report back on their activities. I'm...an intern.
