Heh, onetime I had to get on a conference call when the blue angels were in town. "No, I don't live in a war zone, sorry about the noise."

- pagekalisedown 15y agoDitto for Tuesdays at noon.
- someone13 15y agoHah! I've been on a conference call while in a building under an airport's departure corridor. If you're trying to talk, it sounds kinda like this: "So, about that system rrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH and you think so?" (excuse the bad jet noises) That was a fun hour or so - especially since, even muting the mic when you're not talking, when planes are taking off every 60 seconds, you're bound to get some background noise...
- joshwa 15y agoI've been dialing into conference calls all week from China, where it's still Lunar New Year. This means fireworks and firecrackers, from 8am til midnight. Sounds just like shells and machine guns. "No, I don't live in a war zone, it's just Chinese New Year."
- seanmcdirmid 15y agoI have a hard believing that you'd be able to even do a conference call in the thick of it (especially the new year eve fireworks). I can barely have a conversation with the person in front of me, let alone do anything with the phone. Truly, a war zone isn't that bad.
