Cesar Maia, a well-known figure in the political scene, has been the mayor of Rio de Janeiro three times. However, his recent blunder during an online meeting has caused quite a stir in the media. It all happened when Maia, 78 years old and currently serving as a councillor, logged into a Zoom call from an unexpected location - the bathroom.
As soon as he joined the meeting, his fellow councillors were taken aback by the sight of Maia sitting on the toilet with his trousers down. Realizing his mistake, he hastily brought the camera up to his face, but not before his colleagues had already noticed his peculiar choice of location. The footage of this incident, captured by the councillor leading the session, Pablo Mello, has since gone viral and has been shared numerous times on various social media platforms.
This is not the first time someone has accidentally joined an important call from an unconventional place. Just a few weeks ago, a man in Michigan, US, was caught logging into his court hearing from the driver's seat of his car. Corey Harris, who had a suspended driving license, was appearing for a pre-trial hearing when he was heard saying, "I'm pulling into my doctor's office actually, so just give me one second, I'm parking right now."
The judge, clearly stunned by Harris' actions, questioned his lawyer about the situation. The lawyer confirmed that Harris indeed had a suspended license and was facing charges for it. This incident, along with Maia's, has caused quite a buzz in the media and has raised concerns about the lack of professionalism and basic etiquette in virtual meetings.
Maia's colleagues, upon seeing his blunder, quickly suggested that he turn off his camera. It seems like a sensible solution, but it's surprising how some people still struggle with the concept of online meetings. As we continue to adapt to the new normal of virtual communication, it's important to remember to always be mindful of our surroundings and to maintain a level of professionalism, even in the comfort of our own homes.
