My dad almost just got me fired to tell me a tribal joke.

I'd rather deal with making myself look bad over lying to my boss.

then you are bad at business.

[Planr]

you really should have turned the phone off for the meeting

then you are bad at business.

Or you've just not matured to the point where you can acknowledge that people would prefer honesty over satisfaction. I'd rather someone be honest to me and tell me what I don't want to hear, rather than sugar coat it and make it stuffty.

good job reading the entire OP.

because saying "yeah, bad dad's car broke down and he called to say he's ok" and having your boss go " oh, k." is totally worse than saying "my dad called to tell me a tribal joke" and almost getting your ass fired. if i was your boss and you left a meeting to have your dad tell you a tribal joke, i would be mad at you too.

good job not thinking of turning your phone off before you walked into a meeting

seriously it's your fault for not taking all necessary precautions

[fred da kiko]

pretty sure most new smartphones have some kind of nocall mode. i know iphones have airplane, where you can still play offline games.

he wasn't actually mad, lol. he was just a little upset that I did that. plus, I'm not trying to lie to someone who employs me, it just sounds like a terribad idea.

good job realizing that he doesn't give a forget if you're texting during meetings.

you had the choice of turning your phone off so you wouldn't have outside distractions or you could have left it on and risked this stuff happening to you, and now it has.

and that is why he threatened to fire you?

okay, but i was texting. hard to text with a turned off phone.

and that is why he threatened to fire you?

he was mad at the moment, i mean, i'm assuming. he seemed fine the rest of the day.

[Kumquat]

Wow, thats just
awful.

[Eussorus]

that joke almost came close to making me laugh.
didn't though.  pretty clever.

your dad is a scumbag

i mean, he KNOWS you're in a meeting where phone calls are not allowed, and then phones you anyway
