If you had turned your cell phone to silent, and it rang really loudly despite it being on silent, what would you tell me?

With technology today you would think my phone would know that I am in an interview

I would tell you nothing because I should have turned it off during our meeting.

"Oh, excuse me". ( pulls phone from pocket, remove battery, put it back on pocket) .. look the person in the eyes and say " im sorry about that". moves on.

Sorry for the interruption, a silent mode failure, if it would be a biomedical engineering problem I would have fixed it right away - then take off the battery.

I would say it's a miracle, because I always power my phone completely off. Either I need it, or I don't. I see no purpose in "silence"; that's just saying "I'll listen to you until someone more important makes it vibrate."

Stupid Android!

Sorry my wife is getting ready to give birth.

oh, its for you and had the phone to the interviewer...

i have a phone too

I've actually had that happen before... the phone was off, yet made a ring via some kind of crazy glitch. I was in church. It was NOT a miracle.

my smartphone heard itself being referred to in the question and wanted to weigh in...

then it could be from Rajnikanth

Sorry about that. My provider just lost a good customer.

This phone is like a baby in church...making noise just at the wrong time!

Sorry that's my parole officer calling...

Sorry but its time for Angry Birds

Lol love the parole officer and the batman answers. Awesome. Also, who owns a phone with a removable battery anymore?

"I'm sorry for the noise, if it truly disturbs you. I was being chased by the Klingon's, and lost them in a wormhole. My Transponder must have reset itself to the original factory settings".

Ah! Seems he's got a mind of his own!

Sorry, I have my phone set to ring only if Mr. Falk is calling. Excuse me while I take this.

I will continue our conversation because I would have left my phone in the car.

That would never happen to me 'cause I don't have a cell phone :)

"I assumed this phone would work the way it was supposed to, as I DID put it on silent. Too bad, faulty technology". Remove battery, continue.

Who's phone was that?

Excuse your self, and simply remove battery and apologize and let them know that you are ready to proceed.

id get my cell phone out and show him/her that its switched off and say i never have that problem

D*mn Siri!

excuse me....m sorry about that....

I Got a Bug :)

I'd look guiltly as all get-out, take the battery out, and set it on the desk and continue with the interview.

I need a pay rise for a new phone since the current one is not functioning as it should.

"Sorry, it is an everyday alarm for medicine." I'm sure this is going to work bcoz cell phone alarms do ring even if the cell phone is in silent mode.

what a mess... heheheh

i would tell u to ask better questions with more logic because phone doesn't work like u said.

i would say the interviwer , "See, the phone rang even if it was on silent mode! This is why you should hire me soon."

Oh, it's probably the President. I'll call him back later. Shut phone off and say "Please continue with what you were saying, he won't be interrupting us again. (Everyone, even the interviewer has the concern that their phone will go off at an inappropriate time. You can turn this into a plus if you don't panic and come up with some lie or explanation. He will of course know that you don't know the president and will take it as a joke rather than a lame excuse. It will also sub-consciouslly show him that your conversation with him is the most important thing at the moment.)

I would say that God is calling, and I should probably answer it

I'd check my phone, turn it off, and say, "I apologize" then continue with the interview without further explanation. The important thing is not to get flustered or make a bigger deal of the incident than is necessary. It has happened to everyone. No point in wasting time after the initial apology or annoying anyone further with unnecessary explanations. If the interviewer wants further explanation, s/he can ask.

i won't say anything coz i have already switched off my phone n i knw it wld b ur phn thts ringin n i wont like u 2 offend by saying your phone's ringin

I would fart louder than the ringer and then bless myself as if I had sneezed.

My phone is sick

lol, i set silent profile but with a timer.. sorry for the noise i caused..

It's my bitter half ....sorry my better half call .....
