Hungry on a Call

Here at work we have a speakerphone, conference call system. It works by picking up noise in the room and transferring the microphone to the side of the call that is making noise; either you or the client that is on the other end of the phone.

The other day we were on a call with a client, and my stomach started growling unexpectedly. It got so loud at one point that the microphone started picking it up and transferring the call to our side in the middle of the client’s sentence. The client thought we had something to add, so he got silent. When we didn’t say anything, he continued. That’s when my stomach struck again.

I was asked to leave the call until I had eaten something.
