Well, it happened in one of the classes.

The teacher was going through a rough time and the class could feel it. We assured her that we had done our homework and that she could take rest for the time being. She agreed and told she would switch her mic off and sleep for a while, as we did whatever.

Her husband was right beside her and the mic wasn't turned off. She told, " I am so lucky to have these students" and started sobbing to her husband. We all heard this, but kept quiet to prevent her being embarrassed.

She slept well during that time and we sent her a thank you gift collectively.

I had to defend my thesis over Zoom and many professors came into the call to watch. My thesis was about immune response in fish to parasites. One professor joined late and forgot to mute her mic and we got treated to this little gem:

"Shhhh. Mommy is learning about fish parasites, which is what you'll get if you don't stop peeing in the koi pond."

Not a teacher student deal but my mother was in a work call. She does tech stuff with a hospital. Lots of people in it. My cat was up on her desk trying to get attention and meowed this deep loud meow. Right into her mic. The call proceeded with every time my cat meowed her co-workers would be like "good point" or "haven't thought of that" or like "yeah that sounds right". My mother was so embarrassed but she couldn't get her to leave her alone.

During one of the lectures, our cat came into the room and jumped into my lap. I proceeded to tell him how very cute he is and how much I love him, in the stupidly sweetest voice possible because he's the best boi.

Then, a full minute or two into me praising the cat, a message popped up from my classmate saying I'm unmuted. I had a mini spook and replied with "oh hahaha I was just talking to him" + a picture of the cat.

It was extra awkward because I walk around with a resting b***h face and barely talk to anyone when we're at uni, so my classmate later admitted that the only reason no one warned me sooner was because it didn't occur to them that the person with this sweet voice was me :/

A boy accidentally forgot to turn his mic off and we heard how his mom literally verbally abuse him, then he looked at the camera and realized that the mic was on then he turned the camera and mic off. The next day he looked like he cried all day and his mom was behind the camera; I still feel bad for that kid

Edit: Guys guess what, my whole class were telling and spamming the principal to do something with the kid in the end the principal itself with the counselor have a huge speak with the mother and threatened that if she doesn't change they will call the police. She was scared as heck and was decided to change bc his dad did love him; the last day I saw him (the day I am editing this) was happy and like he was in the first day again, thought I couldn't speak to him is clearly that at least something was changed and his father is in him side.

During my English class, this one girl forgot to mute herself. While my teacher was talking, she almost deafened all of us on the Zoom call answering her mother's questions.

Her mother (from a distance): "What class are you in?"

Her (yelling): English!

Her mother: Oh, the hot teacher?

Her: Yeah that guy

Now, even I'll admit my teacher is fairly attractive, but it does take it to another level when you get your own mother involved. Thankfully, our teacher is a chill guy and thought the whole thing was just kind of funny, and kind of just gave a general reminder to the class to keep mics muted. She didn't say anything for the rest of the class.

I was visiting my best friend during a lecture and she had her mic and video turned off. She then had to join a group discussion and sometimes unmuted herself to contribute something. After that the whole class was supposed to present their results and she supposedly muted herself again. I started venting to her how wasps are considered wild bees even though they have no business beeing bees because they're a**holes and suddenly we hear laughter from her professor and her classmates. She forgot to mute herself.

I'm a tutor, and my student forgot to mute themselves before leaving for a 5 mins break. She had a beautiful conversation with her brother about how much of a c**t I was, and how much I sucked and how poor I look/my house look.

Luckily, I always record my tutoring sessions, so I finish as if nothing happened, and sent the clip straight to my supervisor. She got booted off of the tutoring program, as I'm the only tutor advanced enough for her grade that is able to take her.

No, if it was Dhar Mann the tutor would’ve told the student that her house only looks like that because of some weird reason, the tutor would actually be rich and just tutoring because she likes it So You See you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and then the student would apologize for judging the tutor based on her looks.

Hmm, sometimes it is good to vent without inhibitions or rationality to a confindante, and since the student was not talking smack to a group, or attacking the tutors general name, thinking she was in a safe secret zone, it sounds harsh.

Yes. Lesson learned: if you really have to talk trash of someone, at least do it private. Make sure the person you're talking about doesn't hear, make sure you don't have other audience, make sure the person you're talking to doesn't tell. Easier to keep it to yourself.

Exactly Cheri Aline Sydney! It's just that some people feel special if they get to hear gossips. When I was about 20 yo, at my workplace our department there were 3 women on regular bases. Tina was 30 and Paula was almost 50. Tina was toxic. She was very friendly to me on my face but I quickly learned she was spreading lies about me. I was allegedly leaving the company/pregnant/sleeping with someone at work etc. Then I was told I was acting like I was their boss. No. I was the youngest and got the shittiest tasks. I had no authority whatsoever. Paula stopped talking to me totally. Then things escalated and I finally told Paula 'you think that Tina doesn't talk trash about you too?' and told her the truth how Tina talked s*it about Paula and her family to others. Paula confronted Tina. Within 2 weeks the tables were turned and Tina resigned. But I don't think she can change. I'm much older now, met many 'Tinas' after that. IDGAF anymore, just keep the trash talk to yourself

Because of course, for the "tutor" it would be so difficult to actually TALK like a mature person and tell the girl that she was being disrespectfull. So the only "teacher" available takes out on a girl, and refuses to do his work and punishes HER for having an opinion? Maybe the girl is RIGHT and that tutor is really a complete as$#ole

I don't know if the teacher was actually bad, but calling them poor and shaming their living conditions is absolutely not okay. Classism is disgusting. I'm actually sort of glad she got kicked out. She sounds like a rich, spoilt person just because of that one comment. Also calling them a c**t is... Taking it too far ,if her complaints were only about horrible teaching.

"Luckily, I always record my tutoring sessions". You better tell your students about that, cause that's not ok without approval. Also, speak to that person first and ask them to explain themselves and if after that you still feel action is needed, discuss it with a supervisor. If you need that kind of proof, you're not in a healthy working relationship.

One time in an art class (separate from my school) my dad knocked on my door. It was dead silent at that point, everyone was working on their projects. I clicked the mute button and yelled "WHAT!?" Turns out my mic was already muted and I turned it on. I startled the entire class and the teacher asked if I was okay.

I just did 8 hour zoom calls for 7 weeks training for a new project. On the second week, a man unmutes his call, farts the longest fart I’ve ever heard in my life, then when he finishes, mutes the call. I can see others laughing while muted at his fatal error of thinking he wasn’t muted and so he went to “mute” his call.

I found this to be the highlight of the week, but the following week the guy does it again!!! Honestly the second time I laughed but then started to wonder if it was some kind of power move...

I had a student give a smart a** response to a question I asked and before I could respond his mom starts chewing into him and hitting him with a chancla. His mic and video was on for the whole thing.

Edit: For all those asking; I did not report the single mother who took time off from her only remaining job during a pandemic so she could make sure her sons were able to access their education. Didn’t strike me as abusive. I did call her after school to talk and let her know I would keep her updated on how her son was doing in my class so that, hopefully, between the two of us, we could keep him out of trouble. Some of y’all clearly didn’t grow up around Hispanic families. La Chancla is part of the culture.

I was producing a video for some university professors on a specific medical thing for a virtual learning course. I was all set up to shoot the process, and the teachers excused themselves to the next office to regroup and have a chat. I already had their wireless lav mics attached and fed to my camera, so when I sat down at the camera and put on my headphones I immediately heard their conversation - they were criticizing me, saying they couldn't believe they hired someone so young, inexperienced in that particular medical field, how I looked, how I asked questions, etc... Oops! At least I made them a fine video. These days I don't put my headphones on until we're about to shoot.

Wouldnt say it’s the best, but definitely mildly embarrassing for me.

Early morning lecture, much earlier than I’d been used to getting up during the lockdown experience. Ended up slouched over on the couch listening with my eyes closed.

Suddenly get a message from one of my good friends also in the class saying I might want to mute my mic as I’d sort of half-fallen asleep and my heavy breathing/light snoring was coming through the microphone a little too loud.

I was absolutely mortified, can’t imagine it was exactly pleasing to the ears for anyone in the class at the time.

A student's mother had the habit of standing just off camera and very closely observing her kid. I know this because one time the student "forgot" to disable the mic. Everyone heard how the mother was coaching the student how to act. Don't look my way, smile, pay attention. It was next-level helicoptering, right on the edge of abuse in my opinion.

Our school has a good counselor and the student is getting help. All the teachers have been advised to limit contact with the mother and not make waves, lest she withdraw the student or redouble her controlling behavior. I worry about it.

While giving a lecture on the 'heated' arguments among different schools of psychology, our prof screamed "Fire fire, there is fire" and most of the confused students included the teacher's pets replied "I agree. those were some lit points." Things turned out funnier and scarier when the prof went on with the screaming and we could hear her calling her house help and brother alarming them of a fire sparking up her switch board. So yeah, a confused, concerned class of 50 sat through the entire episode of turning out the fire while our prof revealed every dynamic of their family through her freaked out screams. and 30 min later she comes back to her lappy to unmute herself only to find a hundred "are you okay?" texts in the chat box.
