TIFU by thinking turning off my camera meant I was safe. Mid-meeting of a Zoom call, nature called violently. I shut off the camera, muted my soul, and dropped a thunderous deuce that could’ve cracked porcelain. Only I forgot to mute the microphone. The echo. The splash. The strained grunt. All broadcast in HD audio to 4 colleagues, including my manager. There was a moment of shock across the team’s face and silence followed. When it was my turn to talk, I re-activated the camera, was back in my room, and from the expression on everyone’s face, everyone knew. I said “sorry I forgot to mute the mic earlier”. Thinking of faking my death. Send help (and maybe a plunger).
tldr: I turned the camera off but forgot there was a mic button too. Everyone heard the deuce drop.
