Most INAPPROPRIATE time a TSTO notification has gone off...
I think the story of that notification going off during a funeral is still top of the list.

The funeral and wedding stories are hard to beat. I wonder if anyone's had it go off in court.
Worst for me was when it went off while I was giving a lecture to a class. They're not supposed to know I play games. :twisted:
Don't want to be the "cool" professor? :mrgreen: :lol:
ha, cool is good, but awkward isn't. It's all context dependent. I've actually had it go off at least one other time while giving a talk--this was back when I was really into the game and would set short tasks. When they were engaged, it was a funny interruption that I didn't mind. The last time, things were awkward to begin with, so Homer shouting out and me pretending not to hear him just made things worse. That's when I turned off notifications for good.
Really, an interruption like that would be much more embarrassing if you're the student. Reminds me of the time in college when I brought my laptop to freshman biology, which was in a lecture hall, and decided to turn it on in order to type notes. Totally forgot about that loud, protracted Windows startup sound.- "Better him than me went off" when I had Vice President of Development sitting in my office. He thinks I'm a bit of a twit, so this just confirmed it for him. :oops:
- Guess mine may make the top 5...
Was working here in Hollyweird filming a middle-east battle scene on a TV show w/a few folks arguing in an appropriately dry humor, satirical bit when Homer blurts out 'better them than me!' ...fellas near me turned & lightly cracked up wondering what the he'll that was as I cringed, biting my lip & slyly slipped the phone out to my side to try & switch the darn thing to vibrate; fortunately we were 50 feet away so it didn't fully disrupt the shoot :roll: - Homer saying... "Yay its not Flanders" at a funeral would be pretty funny and ironic.
- I've had them go off numerous times during meeting which causes funny looks, but I think the best (worst) time was in the middle of a redundancy meeting. Fortunately it was someone who we kept on.
