Awkard ‘Forgot to Turn off the Mic’ School Stories

students teachers have read it what's the best forgot to turn off the mic story during virtual learning i had to defend my thesis over zoom and many professors came into the call to watch my thesis was about immune response in fish to parasites one professor joined late and forgot to muto mike and we got treated to this little gem shhh mommy is learning about fish parasites which is what you'll get if you don't stop peeing in the koi pond love this one 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 that's horrible not really anything super weird 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 embarrassing hold up cat entire class fawns over cat no longer embarrassing a girl's mom who the freak you on the computer foe this early in the morning and asking the same thing over and over teacher i think your mic is on english zoom call teacher was holding us like 15 plus 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 when i was doing an online algebra camp the teacher forgot to turn off his mic while we were supposed to be doing some problems he said i freaking hate math as a math major i can confirm that the better you are at math the more you hate it this is from a couple of years ago i was working for a private college which has several campuses my campus was the online campus each year the campuses took turns hosting an annual writing conference for english speech faculty with it being the online campuses turn to host we came up with the idea to make it a virtual conference which faculty members could attend from home or go to their own campus and attend with their peers in a classroom anyway as one of the people on the conference committee my job was to host several of the various breakout sessions make sure the webex meeting was working introduce the presenter of the session monitor the q and a etc i also made sure to mute the participants once it was time for the speaker to start so there was no live mic scenario but one of the participants left his webcam on during the presentation he whips out a gigantic party sub and is just going to town on it so while everyone is watching the presenter's powerpoint you just see this guy who i had met before and was a legit six feet eight just scarfing down a party sub in a window in the bottom of the screen honestly it was more impressive than anything props to him girl forgot to turn off her mic and started screaming at her parents in chinese i wish i understood what she said after a few minutes she gasped loudly when she realized she didn't mute it good thing not many people understood in one of my classes this girl wrote in the zoom chat this is so freaking boring not realizing that the professor could see it so i have one i just did eight hour zoom calls for seven weeks training for a new project on the second week a man unmute his call farts the longest fart i've ever heard in my life then when he finishes mutes a call i can see others laughing while muted at his fatal error of thinking he wasn't muted and so he went to mute his call i found this to be the highlight of the week but the following week the guy does it again honestly the second time i laughed but then started to wonder if it was some kind of power move it was definitely a power move to assert dominance in a math class i was in last year we were taking a test which you have to turn your mic on for their way of trying to prevent cheating some girl apparently forgot that hers was on and started belting out stand by you by rachel platten at the top of her lungs it went on for the entire song and she was still humming it when i finished the test and left the call my sweet old russian professor had us do the same thing for our final at one point text to speech for google translate goes off saying 2011 which was one of the years we had to translate into russian the girl got away with saying oh sorry siri went off for some reason 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 just before she realized her mic was on and turned it off i just laughed all future interactions with her need to be professed with yes she who must not be named gr3 kid stopped in the middle of the class meeting and took his laptop to the bathroom with him he sat on the toilet for the rest of the meeting every single grade 3 parent just simultaneously wondered if this was their kid i promise i was producing a video for some university professors on a specific medical thing for a virtual learning course i was all set up to shoot the process and the teachers excuse themselves to the next office to regroup and have a chat i already had their wireless lav mics attached and fed to my camera so when i sat down at the camera and put on my headphones i immediately heard their conversation they were criticizing me saying they couldn't believe they hired someone so young inexperienced in that particular medical field how i looked how i asked questions etc oops at least i made them a fine video these days i don't put my headphones on until we're about to shoot i would have been tempted when they came back to say alright since we already set the mic levels we should be good to begin and watch the creeping realization ironically my i.t teacher forgot to turn off his mic and camera and proceeded to get in a very heated argument on the phone with his ex-girlfriend who he has a kid with did i mention that she's also a teacher at our school yeah most awkward five minutes of my life before he realized probably also the most awkward five minutes of his life last week kid in my brother's class forgot his camera was on during the first class and was smoking a giant gas mask bomb on his face during the syllabus review as an adjunct i would have asked him if he had enough for the rest of the class during my english class this one girl forgot to mute herself while my teacher was talking she almost deafened all of us on the zoom call answering her mother's questions her mother from a distance what class are you in her yelling english her mother oh the hot teacher her yeah that guy now even i'll admit my teacher is fairly attractive but it does take it to another level when you get your own mother involved thankfully our teacher is a chill guy and thought the whole thing was just kind of funny and kind of just gave a general reminder to the class to keep mike's muted she didn't say anything for the rest of the class heck it probably made his week dude my one teacher forgot to turn off his camera and his sun was changing in the background and the sun kept on looking at the camera i remember a similar question where a mom answered that she was taking a zoom call in the garden until the co-worker mentioned that there was a naked kid skateboarding behind her in a thermodynamics class one of the students said holy crap this is so much after covering a large set of equations related to fugacity everyone found it relatable one of my professors classes had a student say something like i just joined five minutes before class and this butthole is already teaching the professor just laughed and told him his mic was on a student in my class forgot to turn off their mic and we heard some background noises doors closing tapping and because of a display bug we couldn't see where the noise was from then the student started saying crap about the teacher oh yeah this is useless he's just writing on a tablet even i could do that etc everyone heard that the teacher heard them just insult him they didn't come back to the classes after that my teacher got scolded by his wife another teacher in a school because she needed to work and he didn't repair her computer he was a computer technology teacher and he just keeps saying sorry honey i forgot i won't do it again i promise it will take two seconds to fix it in loop because the wife went on a little ramp of how he always forgot things when he saw the mic was still on he blushed and after a moment of silence just went on with the lesson of how he always forgot things when he saw the mic was still on he blushed and after a moment of silence just went on with the lesson a moment of silence for his pride omeo was in training before classes started this year 200-ish teachers only principal and ap were speaking teacher has her mic unmuted phone rings picks it up and says hey yeah just sitting here in another one of these goddamn trainings 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 somebody in my class forgot to turn off the mic and started singing along to her song and loudly somebody told her and there was this odd who op noise and then she cut off lol this happened to me once minus the mic part when i was about nine we used to go to painting classes during summer vacation and one day we were painting some rocks or something and i was singing in my head and suddenly the whole class started laughing turned out during the loudest part of the song i sang loudly i'm not a student but work in the tech industry i've been in meetings where people forget to mute themselves on large company calls with hundreds or thousands of attendees and we'll hear a fart and then a toilet flush that's about as interesting as these meetings get though same we had an update about a reorg that was supposed to be very serious because everyone's job was on the line there were like 1k ppl on the call and the vp couldn't get a word in because there was always someone unmuted in a room filled with babies operating a jackhammer or something also there was a toilet flush which was hilarious i had a student's boyfriend both college walk up behind her on zoom reach into her shirt pull out her breasts and start doing a little boob dance she was just laughing and playfully slapping his hands away this was probably 30 seconds after i had just gone through my whole speech of making sure there was nothing in your browser history google search history or names of folders that could be embarrassing or offensive they probably knew he was establishing dominance over the rest of class not virtual but i was a guest speaker at a music college last year my mic was still on when i finished went backstage and said well that was freaking horrible i wasn't called back to speak again the students probably loved it not assume that when i was a flight attendant we used handheld mics to give briefings and make announcements one female passenger got in my friend's face and screamed at her that if her bags were lost or if her golf bag was damaged she would make sure to hold her personally responsible my friend was pretty shaken not only by the loudness and anger but by the woman's spittle and tried to hold it together to give her departure briefing welcome aboard fltx xxx service to orlando you freaking be the entire plane lost it my friend had forgotten to let go of the key on the side of the mic so all noise was picked up during a virtual gym class for my high school a girl forgot to mute herself during a workout and yelled some obscene things very loudly it never occurred to me that there would be virtual gym class but it makes sense i guess also they should allow obscenity in schools especially in gym class creative writing and computer programming not really a mic story but a friend of mine facebook stalked a cute guy in their tute before realizing she was still screen sharing and this is why you always stalk people on a different device college student here this was last semester so it was when we had first switched to all online i had an 8 am class that was renaissance through modern art history anyway this kid in the class didn't have his mic muted and he was snoring like snoring snoring my poor professor tried to wake him up and couldn't she also had no idea how to mute him or kick him out so we went on with the lecture after about five minutes she finally said i can't fricking teach to this and ended the zoom meeting the rest of the semester we used voicethread instead that's like genuinely sad i feel bad for her 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 teacher's surprise last spring when he asked me if he could have his fix now that he was done with school lola cracked up held up the fix in question and explained what he meant the first time i fixed something that was broken around my house that dis were fascinated i think i installed a new tap for the next couple of week we'd be out walking somewhere and see something broken for example the handrail on a set of stairs and my daughter who was only about three would look at me and say daddy fix a boy accidentally forgot to turn his mic off and we heard how his mom literally verbally abused him then he looked at the camera and realized that the mic was on then he turned the camera and mike off the next day he looked like he cried all day and his mom was behind the camera i still feel bad for that kid this was work not school but someone posted a drawing of the hello kitty type character on the side of their presentation during a virtual meeting one of my co-workers mumbled dang fat butt witch when i looked again yeah the character had a pear body shape it was such a weird thing for someone to say though my brain just dismissed it as me miss hearing it until they panicked a second later and apologized for not being on mute and then i fully preceded it additional context co-worker is a 50-plus mother of three it isn't too bad but during the graduating ceremony for a class all staff were asked to attend and turn on their mic to clap at certain points so it wouldn't be awkward one such staff member forgot to turn their mic back off and was heard loudly jokingly insulting her husband and asking for another drink whilst complaining about how long and boring this was this was broadcast to a whole class their parents and anyone else listening we stuck together and didn't tell anyone who it was but we all knew mute your mics oh lord that's bad one time in an art class separate from my school my dad knocked on my door it was dead silent at that point everyone was working on their projects i clicked the mute button and yelled what turns out my mic was already muted and i turned it on i startled the entire class and the teacher asked if i was okay my son was in a class and i thought his mic was muted i had cut myself and walked over to gross him out and said son there's so much blood and he responded you're gonna get blood on me his class went silent and the teacher asked if he was okay oops we laughed about it later not virtual but a few years back my roommate was in a chemistry lecture and the professor excused himself and left the room but left the wireless mic on he proceeded to fart and came back into the lecture hall to see all his students dying of laughter i misread that as execute i was visiting my best friend during a lecture and she had her mic and video turned off she then had to join a group discussion and sometimes unmuted herself to contribute something after that the whole class was supposed to present their results and she supposedly muted herself again i started venting to her how wasps are considered wild bees even though they have no business being bees because they're buttholes and suddenly we hear laughter from her professor and her classmates she forgot to mute herself lol if i was talking to someone who didn't notice they unmuted themselves i would take full advantage of it and also nonchalantly look at the camera and smile from time to time so we were making our classes as phone call on an app called teamspeak i think anyways i was using my phone to talk and my computer to work and sometimes check discord at a point we were supposed to do some exercise on our own and i left my mic on my friend sent me a message talking about the fact that he got a girlfriend so i send him you did it you crazy son of a bee then i wanted to add some emoji so i tried to edit the message and i hit the text to speech button instead the computer literally yell you crazy son of a bee lol this is why i wear headphones having an external microphone with regular speakers can lead to either echo or other issues this was a conference call for work but it was a big call with like 12 people and i'm newish so i was really just listening as the senior analysts were discussing something coal was going on for a while so i took my laptop into the bathroom with me to take a crap flush the toilet and everyone just stopped talking turns out i didn't mute my mic and everyone just heard a toilet flushing in the middle of a meeting luckily no one cared and they all laughed about it but i was mortified i'd say you got lucky they only heard the toilet flush i know it isn't close to answering the question but i have to share we recently had a meeting with our whole team where the host forgot to turn off screen sharing so we all saw him respond positively to a job offer funniest thing i've ever seen or it would be if the offer hadn't included the salary letting us all know that this grossly incompetent worker was getting paid way more than the rest of us still we were just glad to see him go don't think about it as him making way more money think about him costing the other company way more money while giving a lecture on the heated arguments among different schools of psychology our prof screened fire fire there is fire and most of the confused students included the teachers pets replied i agree those were some lit points things turned out funnier and scarier when the prof went on with the screaming and we could hear her calling her house help and brother alarming them of a fire sparking upper switchboard so yeah a confused concerned class of 50 sat through the entire episode of turning out the fire while our prof revealed every dynamic of their family through her freaked out screams and 30 minutes later she comes back to her lappy to unmute herself only to find a hundred are you okay texts in the chat box i'm laughing so hard at i agree those were some lit points this story's clickbait title should be butt kissing gone horribly wrong a student's mother had the habit of standing just off camera and very closely observing her kid i know this because one time the student forgot to disable the mic everyone heard how the mother was coaching the student how to act don't look my way smile pay attention it was next level helicoptering right on the edge of abuse in my opinion our school has a good counselor and the student is getting help all the teachers have been advised to limit contact with the mother and not make waves lest she withdraw the student or redouble her controlling behavior i worry about it i hovered over my first grader for the first week because she has no idea how to use a computer so i stayed right by her to help her after that week i'll let her be i'll go in there when she asks for help still but i'm beyond proud and amazed of how well she's handling it all not really turn off the mic but you know that feature of pressing the spacer to talk while someone in my class was too used to pressing the spacebar to pause a video and mistakenly pressed it to pause the class to speak to someone in their home but would instead say nonsense while the teacher was speaking this happened several times btw the president of the uni i attended until 2007 was presenting something with a bunch of other important people this was being recorded for later upload and right when the pandemic was starting around march 2020 his wife appears in the middle of the talk mad as heck telling him to go clean the toilet and that she's not her slave to clean his crap a few very awkward seconds later he just says maybe we have to edit this out later now imagine how viral this must have been i haven't had any ties to the uni since 2007 yet somehow the video got to my whatsapp disgusting lol i remember once during english class i forgot to turn off my mic so obviously i was browsing ridic during class and giving out low lasting memes and everyone could hear me didn't stop until the teacher told asked what was so funny if you are new to the channel you can subscribe i publish new videos every day until then check another video [Music] bye for now
