Rant: My face went live on the wrong Zoom call during a client pitch in Austin

I was mid-sentence about Q3 targets when my cat knocked my coffee onto the keyboard and I unmuted myself yelling 'no no no' on the main board with 14 people watching, so I just froze for 5 seconds and then said 'sorry, I believe in transparency' and moved on, has anyone else accidentally weaponized a pet mishap to save a meeting?

Wait, is this actually a big deal or did you just turn a five second blip into a dramatic story? I've been on dozens of those calls and half the time people have their cameras off or are clearly not paying attention anyway. Honestly, your "transparency" line probably got more of a reaction than the cat thing, most folks were likely still typing or checking emails during that moment. Unless you said something truly awful, nobody's gonna remember this by next Tuesday, so I'd say you're good.
