I have a funny story re: that. One day at work I thought I pushed the mute button but actually pushed the other button that does nothing and said some comment, caller heard me and said "excuse me?" And with a very red face I quickly adlibbed that I'd responded to my coworker tripping and falling or something and luckily she bought it and laughed it off. Whew! Since then I rarely use my mute button for that kinda thing,..
