Reports of my Death are Greatly Exaggerated
My coworker read a rumour on twitter that a celebrity was dead, didn’t wait for confirmation from their publicist and put the story on the national wire of the country’s largest news chain as breaking news.
The celebrity called our office an hour later, very much alive, stating he was just in a dentist appointment. I have no idea how he didn’t get fired. Story credit: Reddit / No_Eulogies_for_Bob
