Some guy’s mother started yelling at him : “Turn down the freaking sound, I am so sick of listening to your classes the whole day, go to the balcony and continue from there or just bloody drop out of uni” along with a set of few swear words. Our professor muted him so I don’t really know what happened next. –hlfblnd

A girl’s mom: “Who the f–k you on the computer for this early in the morning?” And asking the same thing over and over

This is the one thing I did not sign up for as a teacher. I’d be doing office hours or one on one conference with students and their parents would be screaming at them to stop playing games and fucking around and come down to do x y or z. One father shoulder rushed into the students room to scream about a dirty mug that was in the sink. Then started screaming questions about who they were talking too and was this a sex thing.

Was in a meeting with my class for the first day of school, and I had forgotten to mute myself. I then proceeded to start noisily baby-talking my cat, who was in my lap at the time. Embarassing. –MrSpyder_

My 16-year-old son was just laughing his ass off at 9 a.m. Friday. I asked him what’s up and he said his Calculus teacher had released them for asynchronous assignment time but forgot to end the Zoom and he said, “Goddammotherf–ker SH–T!’ –Janices1976

English Zoom call. Teacher was holding us like 15+ minutes after the period had ended. She said something along the lines of “keep working arduously” and I responded with “If she says arduously ONE MORE TIME I’m going to FLIP A TABLE”

I was not on mute. –SonOfCoul27

I teach for an online university that requires me to conduct a weekly live session. One morning I was lecturing and a student popped in late. I said, “Hello, (student name)! Thanks for joining us.” She said, “Don’t say my name, b–ch!”, just before she realized her mic was on and turned it off. I just laughed. -AndeeCreative

I’m a college student. Last semester we had a girl place an entire dinner order over the phone with her mic on while we all tried to tell her that her mic was on. I think she had us muted. She was ordering Mediterranean food. I think she got a chicken gyro. –WineMomParker

My son calls his tablet his “fix” because when I first got it and the battery would die, I’d tell him I was going to fix it. So imagine his pre-K teachers surprise last spring when he asked me if he could have his fix now that he was done with school. Lol I cracked up, held up the fix in question, and explained what he meant. –GreenOnionCrusader
