The International Conference Call

This person clearly works at Microsoft, or is a Microsoft Vendor. They know exactly how the conference call goes. The one they didn't include is where someone doesn't have the phone on Mute, and you hear EVERYTHING in the background.

Or the one where the guy is talking, that mobile noise kicks in, and the speaker has to excuse himself to take the call.

I've had a couple of great ones, it was 10am local, and it was either REALLY early, or late in Japan and the cleaning crew was vacuuming, and they asked the guy to switch rooms.

I was on a particularly amusing call just last week, the speaker was interrupted by someone joining the call about 20min into the call, so she was totally in the middle of speaking. To get her own back, called the guy out, several times with a 'if anyone ELSE has any questions, feel free to ask, XXX I'll answer any of your questions after the call's finished.'
