Since the Covid-19 pandemic has hit Zoom calls and other video conferencing programmes have become part of our daily lives.
With restrictions in place across the globe many ace to face meetings have become a thing of the past for many.
That even extends to education with online Zoom classes becoming more and more common as working from home becomes the new norm.
While the move to video conferencing has been a godsend for many but that does not mean it has brought many challenges.
One of the biggest challenges is simply coming to grips with technology. A common issue associated with video calls is people forgetting to hit the mute button and simply getting too comfortable at home.
This was certainly the case for a husband who was left furious at one of his classmates who made some pretty inappropriate comments about his wife during a Zoom call.
Reddit user A_Hale explained: "My wife and I have been taking a technical writing course at our university together. One day she was making comments on the Zoom call before class started and one guy started making comments along the line of 'Dannnggg that girl is cute! Man, [first name] [last name] I’ll have to remember her.
'Oh, wait a second, was she married? I can’t remember.”
The furious husband adds that things only got worse as the call went on.
He added: "Our instructor cut him off by saying 'Hey um, [name] we can hear you. Yes she’s very nice. Yes she is married, but don’t worry, [my name] is a kind person.' He was horrified when he realized his mic was on.
"To make matters worse, I was having problems getting my Bluetooth headphones to connect. They failed a bunch of times so I couldn’t hear a thing but I was ticked at them.
"My video was on and I was staring at my computer with an angry expression trying to mess with the settings."
Certainly an awkward introduction to your classmates.
