my buddy just let loose the biggest fart on a zoom meeting.

he was NOT muted. so freaking funny.

he doesnt take himself that seriously, and ran with it and proceeded to admonish his dog..not sure he even has a dog.

i might have let a (thinking aloud) "can we move this ****** meeting along?" unmuted.. i did get an "AMEN!"

i did see damn near full boobage when an engineer working from home leaned down in front of the camera and let her house shirt droop abnomally low....i did avert my eyes, since she is a friend.

online meetings..not all bad.

back to the fart, it was one of those nagging gut bubbles you force out with a push..hahha.. i need to call him later to renew the childlike laughter.

If the rule at my college fraternity were in effect, Everyone would have had to put their thumb to their forehead, and the last person to do so would have had to say "Excuse me".

12 seconds in. I was watching Regis ten years ago and saw this. Backed it up and played it again while recording and posted it. Kelly drops a partial rolleyes later in the video.

"Mute" is your friend and covers more ills than pancake make-up.

I am up a MS Teams meeting right now...they need a big unmuted sign on their meeting presentation. Here is a screen shot:



Our engineers are dealing with EO/IR folks, really smart folks so I can stay on mute

I want a warning and caution light if I am unmuted.

BTW, just finished the Team Meeting. The engineer we were dealing with was so top notch and squared away I have a tear in my eye.

I just stay muted always. When I get on, I say my hellos. Then I stay muted unless I have to say something. I use headphones that remind me that I'm muted every 60 second.

I was thinking "at least it was probably all dudes," but I guess not. Granted, I've worked with women in my field and they are usually aware of what they are dealing with (a bunch of men that are in touch with their inner 12 yo).

I've seen a large number of defendants saying or doing stupid stuff on Zoom court appearances.

One guy was dialing in from Pakistan. Pretty sure he wasn't allowed to leave the State.

Several in bed and/or smoking.

Saw a guy last week without a shirt.

Worst though was a guy that got upset and went on a rant. I swear he was calling the judge 'b i t c h' but after a few it was more like 'miss' which is a Texas thing.

It's like people don't appreciate the gravity of the situation and think the normal rules don't apply.

One felony court judge broke out singing a Bryan Adams song recently. Painful

We use an AWS product for video calls called chime. It has a cool feature called “voice focus” and it’ll block out anything that isn’t talking. I mean my dog can be going ape **** in the room and nobody can hear him. I really hope other platforms adopt that tech! Would have saved your buddy the embarrassment.

I'm still blessed with my fully neutered laptop taken from one of our secure areas. No camera, no mic. Text chat only - nobody really wants to hear from me anyway and unless it's in "writing" it didn't happen. Verbal stuff is just "blah blah" and meaningless. If it's important I'll followup with a report or something, but then again we're not exactly fast-paced here.

And no camera means no pants for WFH!

Funny stuff, reminds me of when I was younger my buddy and I were at a movie and went to the bathroom. Both just started at the urnals and a guy on the can let out the loudest and longest fart we had ever heard, my buddy ran out right away laughing and I to go so bad I had to stay to finish but I was bursting not trying to laugh. As soon as I got out the door I lost it, everyone looked at me laughing so hard.

That one must have hurt to keep in

Back when Subway sandwich bread was alleged to have been made out of recycled floor mats, I had one for lunch in the truck.

I swear I lifted off the seat and fogged the windows in an instant. And then it hit. Holy Jesus was a carpenter it was bad. My nose burned, my eyes watered and I swear some short hairs got singed.

To my profound dismay, the experiment was not repeatable.

I was at a concert, had to take a leak. I'm standing at the urinal, the guy in the stall lets one rip that you could hear on the upper deck. The guy taking a leak next to me says, real loud, the orchestra is at the front of the stage, not back here, (or something like that). I cracked up laughing, stall guy says, "hey it's not funny, I ate some bad food from the concessions and I feel like crap."

Made me laugh even harder.
