I usually have myself muted in Zoom meetings unless I’m talking. A woman in the meeting was going on and on about something she had brought up toward the end that nobody cared about. This woman is known for this. She manipulates customers to ask for changes to our product that SHE wants, then insists on discussing it in meetings until she gets her way. In fact, we probably wouldn’t need to have meetings as often as we do if not for her. I was pretty much ignoring her.

I work from home and keep my office door closed. Everybody in my family knows I may be on the phone or in a Zoom meeting so they’re all very careful about making noise and not disturbing me. Somebody quietly tapped on my door. Since the door is out of the video frame, my family can crack the door and talk to me while I’m in a Zoom meeting.

Since I usually keep myself muted, when my wife tapped on the door, I yelled, “Yeah.” Immediately, I heard comments like, “Don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel.” The woman dragging out the meeting said, “Well, I’m glad I could bring you such joy.” I then realized I wasn’t muted, but still wasn’t exactly sure what they were talking about. I said, “Sorry, somebody knocked at my door.” About that time, I got a PM from another participant that told me I had yelled, “Yeah,” right after the annoying woman had said, “I’m finally done.”

I don’t think anybody even heard what I said about somebody knocking on my door.

TL;DR I yelled, “Yeah,” in a Zoom meeting, unmuted, right when an annoying person said she was finally finished.
