Did I apologize correctly?

Question

After a time foul up, I apologized to a customer..."Lo siento sobre el tiempo". She smiled warmly but didn't respond. Do you think she though I meant the weather?

Answer 1

Disculpe por la demora. --- Sorry for the wait.

Is that what you are saying?

Your response could have been mistaken for the weather but in the given situation can be understood.

It just sounds a little funny. That's why she smiled.

There was a mixup on an expected completion time of a repair. We'd agreed over the phone that it was nobody's fault, I felt better apologizing when she picked up the car. - Chryslerpetz, Nov 17, 2009
