It was lunch time. We were in the workroom (which doubles as the break room). There were students, TAs maybe, making copies for their teacher. It looked like band music.
One of the other teachers was mock annoyed there were students in there. Lunchtime, to her, is sacrosanct: a time to be away from all students.
She complained about it for a moment. Then, without turning to look at the students using the printer, she very loudly said, "Students leave this room!"
We all glanced to the students. What would they do?
Apparently, nothing. They still crowded around the printer to make sure it was working. We all, including the teacher who'd spoken, burst out laughing. They hadn't even heard her: the sacredness of lunch keep intact by students too busy with their assignment to notice the teachers.
I find it funny that the students were so focused that they didn't notice the conversation of the teachers!
