Thankfully for all of us, people went on to share their own Zoom horror stories in the comments — and let's just say that these tales are going to make your day. That is, if you aren't already floating over the shower story.
One person claimed a co-worker did a number two on a Skype call with "a hot mic." Another TikTok user copped to flushing the toilet on a call. And a student admitted to "violently" throwing up while being hungover in front of their entire class.
Worst of all, someone shared how during a Zoom funeral, a participant went to the bathroom. But the fun didn't end there. Oh no; there's so much more!
Another commenter shared how someone in their office literally took a nap while on camera. Someone else ordered McDonald's live while their promotion was being announced on a call.
Meanwhile, many commenters found it hard to believe that anyone could still do something so personal on a Zoom call, what with years of experience working this way under our belts.
Indeed, several TikTokers called bull on this creator's story, and said it was a "scam."
Whether the live Zoom shower happened or not, there's no doubt that highly embarrassing things have taken place during web meetings, even after we think we've double checked that our cameras are off, and that we're muted.
So, shower guy, if you are out there, we feel for you. Just know you aren't alone in humiliating yourself in this brave new world in which we live almost completely online.
Good luck in the witness protection program.
