While chatting, we send suitable emoticons that make it even funnier.

Now, Statutory warning, these are occupational humors.(?). Some of them are PJs. So only people who are working in same environment like me will understand it.

There are other embarassing moments.

1) Once, I was in a war room, there was conference call going from morning to evening. Many people across many states joined the conference call. We were all checking something and waiting for the end user's response on how our application is.
So there was a momentary silence. That time, some one went to the toilet with his phone and starting peeing. Poor fellow, he forgot to put his phone on mute. The water sound was echoing in the conference call. Everyone started laughing. My sweet client announced in the conference call. 'Can whoever is peeing right now go on mute please?'. Then came the toilet flushing sound.

2) It was a gettogether and my friends were chatting and making fun of their managers. Meanwhile, one friend wanted to update something to his PM and called. PM didnt pick up his phone. At the fourth ring, my friend thought his manager is not picking up and kept the phone on table and started mocking his manager and making fun of him. We were all laughing our ass off.

The next day, my friend's manager called him and played his voice message to my friend. The whole conversations he made to us about this PM the previous day were recorded. My poor friend did not cut his phone last night when he called his manager and it all went to manager's voice mail. :)
