It always amuses me when I belch and Google Meet pops up a notification saying “are you talking? Your microphone is on mute.”

Once I was on an all day meeting with a compatriot and having, shall we say, a bad stomach day. I forgot we were on a call and for some reason - though I almost never am - I was unmuted. Having forgotten these facts and thus with no restraint, I let out a series of the most vile, expressive noises I’ve ever heard from my body … Only, to my horror, to hear “niiiiiiice.”
