Ok, with all the Zooming, WhatsApping, etc., has anyone accidentally had MUTE [OFF] and talked badly about a co-worker, client, etc.? Or walked into a room your wife was on a work video-call in your underwear? I did almost do this.

Today I warned my wife that we should assume the microphone and camera in the home-office is ALWAYS ON, just to be safe. Thanks for the heads-up, Toobin!! (see what I did there?)

Yea, I know this belongs on the O-T, but I rarely go to the O-T since March or so. Any experiences? Stories? Whoopsies?

I have an empty Gatorade bottle next to my work area in case I need to pee during a long meeting. Never had to use it yet.

I thought my camera was off during a zoom call and hit a joint. I’m glad no one noticed, lol

In the WebEx interface, the Share Screen button is way, way to close to the start camera button. I've come damned close to sharing way too much in meetings, but haven't crossed the line yet.

My mom caught me jerking it through a window when I was 12 or 13. She played it off. She also found my cum sock while changing curtains in my room.

I'm sorry mom.

Taken a leak while my boss was on the other end... granted I’d been drinking buddies with him since college, so he knows exactly who and what I’m capable of so pressure there.

I was once in a continuing education zoom. I said to a colleague: this guy is a fricking paid shill. Why? There was an obvious commercial bias from the BigPharma presenter. Thought it was muted. The presenter called my name and asked if I had a question. Not sure if the rest of the audience heard, but he did.

Oh jeez, I can feel for ya there!

I suspect something similar has occurred, nationally, quite a few thousand times since March. A friend in Atlanta did something similar, accidentally insulting someone on the call's entire business model (failing due to WuhanVirus)

I piss near the rough on the golf course all the time.
While doing so I always see a ball deeper in the rough and when I zip up I go in and find 3 or 4 nice ones.

I was on an audio only conference call while driving in my car. Someone ran a red light and it was a near miss. I blurted “ what the frick” and the presenter stopped the presentation and said “excuse me?” I was silent and only one other person on the call knew it was me. S
