oh man I've got burned on that a few times. answered the call quickly because everything seemed quiet, you know, to demonstrate that I was right on the job, next thing you know about one minute into the phone call you get a very loud "THEY'RE AT THE POST". Then I'm quickly dodging people to get outside.
or other times I was supposedly "working from home", and I get a work call. Its in between races so there is no sound and I start talking forgetting that I have the sound up very loud on the computer speakers. suddenly you can hear Trevor Denman "the horses, have now, reached the starting gate"
damn!
