Alan booked the office quiet room for an important video call.
He closed the door, tested the microphone and asked everyone outside not to interrupt.
The call began in perfect silence.
Then a voice behind him announced the next appointment….
The quiet room was really a converted storage cupboard with a desk, a lamp and enough space for one careful breath.
Alan entered early and placed a sign outside. IMPORTANT CALL. DO NOT DISTURB.
His manager appeared on screen with three clients.
Alan began his presentation.
Halfway through, a calm electronic voice said, Your booking ends in five minutes.
Alan ignored it.
Two minutes later, the voice returned louder. The next user is waiting.
The door handle moved.
Alan apologized to the clients and finished his final point.
The door opened and the office cleaner stood there with a vacuum.
Alan said he needed one more quiet minute.
She switched on the vacuum.
Your meeting is over. Mine has suction.
