TIFU by forgetting my phone was connected to the stores Bluetooth speakers...

This is my brand new job and I've been there less than a week. I am a retail consultant for a major cellphone provider and obviously being a place where you come in to buy a cellphone we also sell products and gadgets to connect to your phone. One of these new products that we've sold quite a few of is basically a Bluetooth speaker.

Now to help in the aiding of showing off this product we will connect our personal phones to it and play music for the customer and crank it up. When we are done generally we just pause the music. Well that's where I fucked up.

During my break I didn't leave work and I was making an offering to the Porcelain God. During my offering I was scrolling through Facebook and ran across some Drake "Hotline Bling" videos and started watching them.

The first one happened to be a Darude "Sandstorm" one and while I was watching it the sound isn't working so I am sitting there messing with volume buttons and pausing and restarting the video. I figured maybe for some stupid reason there's no sound with that one so I move onto the Law & Order one. Well there's no sound with that one either even with me messing with the volume buttons again so I finished my offering and hand washing and went back onto the floor.

I am greeted by my boss, coworkers, and customers laughing at me. I beyond confused and my boss starts asking if I was playing "Sandstorm" and the Law & Order theme song on my phone. Well it all clicks at that point and of course I am visibly embarrassed which of course makes everyone laugh even harder.

I spent the rest of the day and night paranoid to play anything on my phone and turned off Bluetooth completely when I wasn't showing a customer the speaker. I'll probably get shit from my boss and coworkers for a long time from this.
