Today I Fucked Up
r/tifu
Happened just a couple hours ago,
A bit of background, I work remote most days and my camera is always off during meetings.
SO. I figured this out on my own, no one called me out or anything but I was sitting in a meeting and my manager decided it'd be cool to add an entire project onto my already packed workload. I use a blue yeti mic so I pressed my unmute button and said "yeah sounds good, I'll hop on that" like a good little employee and pressed my mute button again. Thinking I was on mute, I said "Fuckin Asshole" pretty loud and clear and then continued scrolling on reddit in my other monitor.
So a couple minutes later I felt a sneeze coming on and checked my mute button on my yeti, still red, so I let that shit go. Loud af. Then a couple people in the zoom said Bless you. I said thanks. After a moment I realized that they heard my sneeze through my muted mic. Literally this gif- https://i.imgur.com/l8XAyZU.gifv I clicked on zooms settings to see what mic it was using and.. well.. It was using my ps5 controller mic that was sitting right next to me on my computer desk and is basically always plugged into my pc.
I quickly swapped it back to my blue yeti and sat there, staring at my keyboard like I just had a fresh lobotomy. There's no way they didn't hear me call my manager a fuckin asshole.
Hope I still have a job tomorrow. Learned my lesson though. Either ALWAYS mute on zoom/check what mic zoom is using or unplug my ps5 controller before meetings.
also, pretty sure I fuckin farted too..
TLDR: Didnt notice zoom was using my ps5 controller's mic instead of my main mic and called my manager an asshole.
