Have you ever been caught up in doing something at the most innappropriate time?

I rememer one time I was reading a calvin and hobbes comic book during french class. then one of the guys in the class shouted it out. argghh! but luckily the teacher didnt notice, i guess she thought i was takin notes or something lol.

Its a kind of craze what people have in different level at different ages as well based on the environment. I remeber i played book cricket when i was in school and we play carrom with coins in college days and you are right we pass on messgs when we are in meeting and many times if the person who is standing in front (speaker of the class/meetings ) looks at us then we just make a smile and show ourselves as participative/attendive

There a few activites i can remember which may be termed inapproprate in terms of expected corporate or classroom behaviour, but never got caught. But it's not the serious type in that sense but more browsing, playing games, puzzles , reading books and of those kind. There was one which happened which was quite embarassing more than anything else and although i did not get reprimanded for it , but sure cannot forget it. It was a few years ago at a construction site that i was incharge off. Late in evening waiting for my boss to come. Mosquito infested area. So here i was , irritated on being made to wait with mosquitoes buzzing around adding to the level of frustration. A cardboard piece in my hand and there i was practising some cricketing shots on these mosquitoes and counting the numbers going down. All of a sudden here was my boss behind me with a puzzled look on his face , something like trying to laugh and be annoyed at the same time. Although he did not mention it agian, he did have a dig at me indirectly on a couple of occasions. BTW James and a zero response. Impossible , you know your friends will catch up with them .

This isn't very interesting....but I can remember being caught writing notes to my friends when I was in 9th grade. I was really caught in a fix because the teacher who caught us was a family friend and there were lots of mention of one particular boy in class (with me being teased with the 'poor' fellow). Of course, I had a lot of explaining to do after that. To this day, I do not know if he ever spoke to my father about it (which was what I was worried about at that point ).

Hmmmmm. No, and no. Damn, I am a boring old thing! When I was in school, I liked learning, so I payed attention. When I started working, I was intent on doing my job and getting the hell out of there.

Ha ha this one makes me laugh! I do that when I was in school. I pretend to study and then in my book hidden is a romance pocketbook. No one though have caught me before. I do that too, playing games on my phone while in a meeting (maybe that is why nobody hired me again LOL)

Your discussion reminds me of the college time, I usually play mobile games when have classes...Fortunately, I didn't get caught!haha...

Hello, my friend. Hmm... It seems risky to play Sudoku in the middle of the trial, lol. Of course I was caught done things in the innappropriate time. I believe it happens a lot to all of us when we are all children. Now, this time I almost got caught. Me and two classmates were in the school, and there is a small and old room in there, used to keep cleaning products. The door had been forced, so people could get in and steal the products. The school then moved the products away, leaving the small room empty. What nobody knew was the passage in the roof, which would take you to the attic. So, there was me and my two class mates... We climbed in an old wardrobe there and jumped to the attic. We recorded a video in there, and when we were going down... We heard the voice of the director. The principal! We got all scared, but fortunately we could get out without being noticed. If we got caught... Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Many a times I have done things at inappropriate time and a few times, I have been caught. This comic example which you have given is so true for me. Till a couple of years back, I often read novels (Mills & Boon, romantic classics etc) in a text book. A few times in class and mostly at home. Mom used to think that her daughter is busy studying. I can't tell you how guilty I felt. But the lure was just too much. Me and my friends had a bad habit of eating during class. We used to quietly open our's and sometimes other's lunch boxes too and gobble the tastier ones. LOL. But it had more to do with the thrill than hunger. Mad gang.... and once we did get caught and all of us were sent out of the classroom with the threat that next time they would call our parents.

Indeed I am, when I was a receptionist in a hotel, I kept reading a magazine in my counter, nobody ever notice it because the counter is high enough from the front side and I can safely read the magazine during my working hours. One day a guest complained about something that makes my manager had to look a the CCTV record to find what happenned that is when they found out I was reading magazine in the counter which I also never realized that there was CCTV camera behind my desk! I got a warning letter because of that and so I never do it again...

I so rarely am doing what I'm 'supposed' to be doing that people are surprised when they catch me out being a 'good girl'. I remember once when my sister, my brother, and I were NOT supposed to be playing in the attic... I don't remember what we were supposed to be doing instead - maybe nothing - but one of us missed the rafter as we were chasing each other around and their leg went through the ceiling. We all disappeared when my mother came home but there was really no hiding that gaping hole in the ceiling that clearly announced what we had been doing. Of course there would have been no time that was more appropriate than another to get busted on that issue.

Yes back in school my teacher caught me drawing stuff during class. I draw on my notebook but what I draw is somewhat related to the discussion that's why I don't get scold.

Once i was surfing the net and doing online trading in stocks while in the office and my boss landed up and had a look at theopen stock exchange site on my laptop. I felt really embarassedand quickly closed teh laptop. My boss did not say anything. Two days later, i went to my boss's office and guess what? Boss too was trading in shares. i suppressed a laugh and made a straight face and backed out.

i got caught by my lecturer in his class reading my novel under the table....

Hi James! I as working as a loan officer in a bank. As I was checking on the post dated checks of my client I overheard another client, a chinese guy, talking to one of the employees on how to go about getting a check for his loan in his name. His wife was the one approved for the loan because she was the filipino citizen. He was quite persistent because he doens't want to get a check on his wife name. I was facing him backwards and I thought I heard the door closed. Thinking it was the chinese guy, I blurted out a nasty comment that was running over my head while this was happening. Then what do you know, it was the employee who went out the door and not the chinese guy. He turned his back to face me and made a squiching sound from his chair to let me know he heard me. I saw him from the side of my eyes with that look that could eat a shark. LOL I pretended, I didn't say anything. LOL. But I could feel myself melting. such a biatch!
