I was on a Zoom call with a client last Tuesday going over logo concepts when my cat Mochi decided to jump on my desk. She walked right across my keyboard and somehow hit enter on an email draft that was full of nonsense placeholder text like "asdfghjkl" and "stuff here". The worst part was I didn't even notice until the client goes "Did you just send me something?" and I looked down and saw it sitting in my sent folder. I had to explain that my cat sent it. Has anyone else had a pet do something similar during an important work moment?
Heard this huge crash behind me, turned around and there was white latex paint all over my carpet and my cat just sitting there looking proud. Has anyone else had a pet ruin something expensive right when you couldn't do anything about it?
After she strolled in, squatted, and stared straight at the camera while I was trying to explain quarterly numbers, I ordered the $200 Litter-Robot that same afternoon and now I swear by it - has anyone else had a pet ruin a work call that badly?
Everyone said it was a disaster waiting to happen, but I figured it showed I was authentic. He ended up purring so loud the interviewer laughed and we bonded over pet stories for 5 minutes straight. Has anyone else deliberately chosen the pet interruption route and had it work out?
I was mid sentence talking about their meal plan when my orange tabby launched himself off the shelf and sent my mug flying all over my laptop. Had to hop off the call for 5 minutes and pretend I didn't just hear the client laughing on the other end. Has anyone else had a pet cause a full electronics disaster mid conversation?
