TIFU by accidentally joining a Zoom call completely naked… with my camera on.

This happened a few days ago but just processing now…:

So I work from home and live alone, which is usually a great combination for, y’know… casual nudity. Anyway, I had just stepped out of the shower and was air-drying (as one does especially now it’s getting warmer) when I got a Slack ping: “Hey, quick team catch-up — hopping on Zoom now!”

In my panic, I hit the Zoom link and didn’t even notice that my webcam was ON until I saw my manager’s horrified expression — and then I saw me in the corner. All of me. Front row seats. High definition. I shrieked. Actually shrieked. Slammed the laptop shut like I was trying to seal away a cursed object. Now I have a follow-up meeting with HR on Tuesday and I may just fake my own death instead.

TL;DR: Always check your camera. Especially if you’re hangin’ brain.a
