my headphones were plugged in so i didn't hear him join...ripped a big fart that I'm certain he heard as he was trying to get my attention.


I didn't know Zoom had a smell-o-vision function.

I had a drawing that included a Confederate soldier in it, and some other personal references from my youth, hanging on the wall of my office right in the Zoom sight line. I decided to move it and replace it with an oil painting of a plant.

Ditto. It's like the Tik-Tok of video conferencing.

First of all, you shouldn't be using Zoom.

Use Teams, WebEx, Bluejeans, Google Meet, etc instead.

We were using Skype for meetings back in March but now are 100% using Teams, which is way better

We use webex like God intended. Zoom is for kindergarten teachers.

You would absolutely be fired at my company for that.

I dunno, but I had a 1 on 1 with one of my managers today and I'm pretty sure he had a dip in.

My dad’s checking account had over 3k in fraudulent charges on it this week. Thankfully the full amount credited back to him while Chase investigates the situation.


One of the fraud charges....$2000 to Zoom


And that is how I had to explain what Zoom is to my 71 year old father who doesn’t do anything online except watch Netflix on his tablet and still uses a flip phone.

That’s my Zoom story

This was several years before covid but I had a call with a vendor and she joined in her bra and panties with her camera on. It was just the two of us on the call. She was walking around her bedroom getting dressed

ETA - she was about an IRL 6-7

I don't think so. We had met in person a number of times before.

I told her the camera was on and she ran over and closed her laptop

I start every work day with a few tokes before logging on. Helps me not strangle the dumb motherfrickers I get the joy to work with.

Let me give you some work from home advice: They won’t tell you no, nor will they know, if you don’t ask.

You gonna fire him for that?


He doesn’t work for me so that’s not my call, but he definitely could be. We have a strict no electronics policy while driving, DOT regulation. Can’t bend the rules on that one
