It was back a few years ago. There was a colleague of mine whose hair was as fluffy as bird nest. It is said that he has never combed his hair on his own…

Anyways, one day, I was in a meeting with a couple of my colleagues, including Bird Nest. I do not remember what we were discussing about but the discussion has started heating up between the president and Bird Nest.

The president was very upset towards the end, and everyone else was quietly listening to the two. Usually, the president is very calm but that day, he was a hot potato. He literally yelled at Bird Nest, “don’t you understand the gravity of the problem!!!?”

Bird Nest was quiet for a moment, looking for the most suitable response. While everyone was looking at Bird Nest, we heard someone else answering the president,
“Sorry, I don’t understand what you are saying…”

Everyone looked at each other’s face, then the president.

It was Siri, the iPhone of Bird Nest that spoke.

The intense face of the president has frozen…, and so did everyone’s face.

I wanted to laugh but because everyone else had serious face, I looked down and tried to hold my laughter.

All quiet, either looking at the president or down, like me.

The next moment, the president has finally started laughing, and so did everyone.

What happened is that Bird Nest squeezed his palms because of the intense discussion. In his palms, he had his iPhone, and his thumb pressed the center button for a few seconds unintentionally, and Siri was activated.
