Things That Make Me Go “Huh?”
I was in the Red Carpet Club this morning at the Denver airport and visited the facilities. While in there, a gentleman, notably deep and passionate in dialogue on a business meeting, walked in, used the urinal, flushed, and then walked out, never once stopping his stream of consciousness and apparently never once letting anyone else talk. The entire time he spent in the facilities had to be less than 30 seconds.
I stood there stunned, because I can’t imagine doing that. Here are some options that could have been considered:
(1) put it on mute and let someone else talk
(2) put the meeting on hold for those few moments and let everyone else take the same advantage of their own facilities
(3) wait till the call was concluded and then take an appropriate amount of time to use the facilities and wash up afterwards
I’m sure there are many more options, but I’m still too stunned to think of the rest.
I wonder what everyone else was thinking on the other end of the call as the toilets and urinals flushed all around him.
