Farted with my mic on

[Fatas]

Don’t want to say too much in case I put myself as the teacher who farted with their mic on. But just that really, I forgot to turn my mic off and let rip. I’m mortified.

[LadyCatStark]

Oh god you’re never going to live that down!

[BabyBee93]

Don't feel bad OP. Joe Wickes farted on a live in front of the whole country...I'm sure your audience was much smaller

Just make a joke out of it if any of your students poke fun and they'll soon forget about it

[sadpapercourtesan]

If anyone mentions it, just grin broadly and say "better an empty house than an angry tenant!"

Style it out

The age of the kids will be relevant to whether you finally live this down 100 years later, or 500.

i thought about saying it was the dog

[NovemberR]

It was definitely the dog!

[Fatas]

Better an empty house, than an angry tenant- like this one!

[TenShortStories]

Was it even obvious that's what it was? All kinds of odd sounds come through online and I think unless it's an astonishingly clear connection then an extra noise wouldn't really register.

I had he teacher fart on my daughters lesson today... was it you... 🤨

[Fatas]

I think so- it was one of the loud rumbling kind of farts you do when you think no one is there 🤣🤣🤣

[Fatas]

@OppsUpsSide I hope not.

Glad I’m not the only one though 🤣

I did that on a six person zoom thinking nobody would know it was me - until the green box lit up around my face and betrayed me 🙈

[GreenPlum]

Love that clip Crampon!

I've had an absolutely shit day with crippling mental health and this has made me smile.

Thank you op! That's hilarious! 😆💕

[Fatas]

@GreenPlum does that actually happen? I’ve never been on zoom- but it names and shames you? 🤣👍

I spent half an hour farting merrily on a Teams call. I was particularly constipated so had slugged a good amount of lactulose. I honestly thought you couldn't hear them. I had no idea that my headset was noise cancelling. It was only when we finished the call that I realised how loud they were. My only hope is that my colleagues thought there was no way anyone could be farting that much. It was non stop

[Fatas]

@Sandybanana7 I’m so glad my farting could be of use to someone. Hope you’re okay x

[Fatas]

@Northernsoullover I’ve just been giggling so much at this 🤣

[Fatas]

Just to make it worse- this was the first time I’ve ‘met’ this class.

[HarrietSchulenberg]

I had it happen the other way round. The dog was next to me and was growling and whining at the birds outside on the roof, off camera but on mic. Eventually I apologised for him and turned the laptop round to reveal him. No-one believed me.

But I have farted in an actual lesson full of Y9s, who thought it was the highlight of their school career.

[reefedsail]

You have to style it out like Joe Wicks did. His youtube post was hilarious!!

Yes. Unfortunately! Swear to God!

[Fatas]

🤣 I’m not quite ready to make a YouTube video about it

Oh my life. That's floored me.
