Once a guy was apparently taking the call on his cell phone and nature called, forgot to hit mute, started hearing grunting and stuff.

The worst part about conference calls is people trying to talk over each other. Or when 3 people try to start talking at once.. then pause and wait for someone else to start.. but no one starts.. cringeworthy
Nobody understands how speakerphone functions. Most speaker phones are half-duplex, which means they are designed in a way that if someone else is talking, you can’t talk over them.
My old boss could never understand this and he thought people were being rude by not letting him interrupt.
I don’t understand how you can use speakerphone every day and not eventually realize this functionality.

Only one I have is a guy who obviously thought he was on mute told someone in the background what we were all thinking, “this is such a fricking waste of time”

One time I thought I was on mute and said, "These guys are fricking idiots." I wasn't on mute.

Of course since I'm in tech most of these lower tier guys are from overseas and while trying to understand half the shite they are saying, literally, their entire issue can be fixed with an RDP connection and firewall setup.
Oh no, motherfricker, they're not going to let you get video of them rubbing one out so you can just blackmail them for 0.15 bitcoin.

Yes and how does that still resolve as Tech in your brain?
Tech can be Power Systems, Telecom, Semi-Conductor, AI, etc.

Disapointed there wasn't that guy that puts every email as high importance or puts read receipts on every email

Without fail, there's always that one a-hole who doesn't mute his phone, and you can hear him talking to others in his office
"Yeah, I know. What? Ok. Sure. Tell him I said its ok. Yeah, its ok. No, tell him I said its ok. Alright. What. No. Sure. Yeah, that'll work."

I hate when we have a call and the host provides a deck through email and then reads it word for word. Complete waste of time
