Miscellaneous: Today, I was on webcam with someone and the conversation died...

Today, I was on webcam with someone and the conversation died so I said "brb". I sat there for five minutes not realising I had left my webcam on. FML

Today, I was on Skype with the guy I like. After a while of being on Facebook I forgot I was on webcam to him and started picking my nose. He ended the call. FML

Today, I cancelled out of a video chat with my boyfriend to go take a dump. I took my computer with me to look at Facebook. It took three minutes for me to realize I was still on video chat. FML

Foiled plan

By fazzems - 07/08/2009 03:10 - Canada

Today, I had a video call with a couple of old friends, but the conversation sort of got boring, so I started mouthing words so they'd think the connection was bad and end the awkwardness. Then, as soon as they hung up the call, I realized I'd left my music on in the background the whole time. FML

Today, while teaching my class, I hooked my laptop up to the projector and put on a documentary. I left it playing and went to the toilet. When I came back, the whole class was talking to my mother. She must've Skyped me while I was gone and someone answered the call. FML

Today, I was working from home and accidentally turned my camera on when I joined a Zoom meeting, while not wearing pants. I had to pretend I was having technical difficulties to quickly put some on. FML

Today, I took a team meeting from home. More specifically, my bed. Because I make great decisions, I ended up falling asleep. At some point during my nap, my cat walked over my keyboard, turning on my webcam. I woke up to my video on and no one left in the meeting. Everyone saw. FML

Today, I was on AIM talking to a really cute guy, whom I've had a crush on for forever, when he asked me to video chat. I got so excited and immediately pressed accept, without thinking. Not until he started screaming and cursing did I realize that I was still using my laptop on the toilet. FML

You'll soon find out

Today, I had some “me time” at my computer. I'm not quiet. Finished up only to discover that I was still signed into voice chat on my computer in a public server from a previous conversation with a friend. I don’t think anyone heard me, but what if they did? FML

Today, I was testing out my new webcam on an msn Video Call with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. In an attempt to look cool, I pretended to have a very interesting phone conversation. Later I found out my webcam has a mic. She "heard" the whole thing. FML

seems like it'd be a fairly common mistake, I don't see how this would warrant OP being a "stupid dip shit". But it's sure as hell not a FML either

Well you could say you were IMing with somebody else or writing a school project.

Well, you could've said something like "I'm sorry! I was just looking up something on Google and didn't want to be distracted by typing!". There's a lot of times where I type "brb" and I don't actually go anywhere, just sit there reading something. Even if I'm on webcam, because it's usually something interesting or important that I'm looking up... I make a lot of stupid mistakes, and it seems that I'm the queen at getting myself out of sticky situations... lol

#19 - I love you! XD That made my day. #81 (and people before them) - Good idea. Quick thinking gets you out of awkward situations. OP - Hey, if nothing else, admit it completely to the other person (though I'm sure they know, so really just don't deny it) and maybe you two can laugh about what a fail that was.
