My cat walked across the keyboard during a job interview last Tuesday

I was in the middle of answering a question about my strengths when my cat, Mochi, decided to walk across the keyboard and started doing a little dance on the touchpad. The interviewer just stared while I tried to shoo her away, and then she jumped right onto the desk and headbutted the camera. Has anyone else had a pet totally steal the spotlight at the worst possible moment?

That parrot story is legendary. My friend's dog farted mid-answer once.

Kinda makes you wonder if pets just enjoy messing with our timing on purpose.

My buddy Dave had his parrot mimic the Zoom exit sound right as his boss was making a big announcement... the bird kept squawking "goodbye" for like five minutes straight. He had to mute himself and pretend his internet went out while his cat chased the parrot around the room. Honestly, Mochi headbutting the camera sounds almost charming compared to that chaos.
