because of covid my office hosts zoom meetings for several of the counties/cities we work with which means they are public and thus subject to open records rules and the such
recently we hosted a planning and zoning meeting where a dispute between two developers was being addressed. the dispute is not important. what is important that Devolper 1 has been a real dickhead to Developer 2.
3 hours into the meeting, Developer 1 decides hes going to get up and stretch his legs/get a drink/use the bathroom/etc
things started to take a turn when he took his shirt off
the man leading the meeting attempts to alert Developer 1 to turn his microphone off (yes microphone) and it assumed that this is as far as it will go mistakes happen
READER WE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG
DEVELOPER 1 PROCEEDS TO DROP TROW AND HE WAS NOT WEARING UNDERPANTS.
yall we are talking full. peen.
i repeat: FULL. PEEN. ON A RECORDED PUBLICLY BROADCAST ZOOM MEETING
i repeat: FULL. PEEN. ON A RECORDED PUBLICLY BROADCAST ZOOM MEETING
meanwhile the poor man leading the meeting is in such a state of shock that he can only yell “turn off your microphone we can see you” over and over, Developer 2 is cackling and a man i assume to be a p&z board member is mouthing wtf
after what feels like a solid 2-3 minutes but was probably only about 30seconds Developer 1 finally realizes everyone can see him in his birthday suit and freezes facing full frontal towards the camera like a deer in headlights
finally, he unfreezes and grabs his shorts off thenfloor and runs away off camera. meanwhile i have been yelling ‘OH NO’ nonstop as the recording plays out.
and to top it all off let us remember that this is a public meeting and thus the recording is a matter of public record. so in order to edit the recording formal action had to be taken. but not before the unedited recording had been downloaded several times.
