Councilman goes to bathroom, forgets to take off his microphone
http://mashable.com/2015/05/01/councilman-bathroom-microphone/Pro tip from Robert Durst: If you're ever wearing a microphone, make sure you remove it before going to the bathroom.
Things got real awkward during a council meeting in Georgetown, Texas, when an unidentified councilman excused himself to use the bathroom. Unfortunately, the man forgot to turn off his microphone, so everyone heard his trip to the lavatory as it was amplified throughout the meeting. It seems he also forgot to wash his hands.
Rachael Jonrowe, the city's mayor pro tem who tried her best to speak seriously about infectious diseases while the man relieved himself, was not immediately available for comment or additional information. But we have to admit, she handled it really well.

Meetings are boring - bet this one wasn't. 
...this would never happen, because we are so obsessed with privacy that we turn on the faucets if availing ourselves of the guest bathroom at a friend's home and bathroom is within earshot of the rest of the house.
