When i was an intern, a fellow intern dropped a mug at a client we working on and for some reason he thought that meant he was getting his offer. He took it home, and i shit you not, glued it back together. Slyly put it back the next day. Three years later we’re still on that client, as seniors. The mug has not been seen or discussed since.
I once sat across from a guy who in an audit room who got a series of phone calls to find out that he had been given a forged check on a car he had sold a week ago. The guy was arrested while working as a Santa Claus in a mall
Had a client come in to our audit room one time to go through a series of questions/walk throughs with the senior ... there were probably 8 to 10 of us sitting around the table. The guy is leaning against the table next to the senior, and although it started out fairly quietly, we soon start to realize that every time the senior says or asks something, the guy instinctively responds with an “mmm k,” just like Mr. Garrison from Southpark. As his responses start to get louder, several of us start looking around and we make eye contact with each other; that’s where I lost it. I started giggling silently and every time the guy continued to respond it got worse, to the point that the table starts to shake. This causes the same thing to happen to several others around the table. Finally, I have to excuse myself to the room next door just prior to bursting in to laughter. My jaw muscles hurt for the entire afternoon!
I was at this one client who had this very very accomplished woman as their interim CFO. Long story short, she was a no-nonsense, stuck up woman; she was bitchy.
The one day she was taking a call in an open space 15 feet from where we were working. While on the phone she completely ripped ass and the entire audit team was in tears trying to suppress laughter. It was so funny because she was so stuck up but then totally farted 15 feet away from us and acted like nothing happened.
It was a much needed laugh during the middle of March of busy season.
As a staff, we had a female partner who loved Skype calls with the team to check in on progress. One Friday morning, while she was leading a call with our US and 3 international teams, she unintentionally started her camera for about two minutes. All teams could see as she changed outfits in her walk in closet. Someone must have sent her a message that the camera was on, she closed the laptop. We didn’t hear from her the remainder of the day, all meetings after that we’re on the conference bridge.
BT1: no one will have a better story than this one.
I might- once on an audit the controller had ripped the whole back of his pants seam. We were dying trying to figure out how he didn’t feel a breeze. 😂
Similar story with manager 1. Was on a skype meeting, and a sr mgr was sitting at his house without a shirt on
