I’ve probably done something correctly in my life since I can’t say I even know what that sounds like. I think I’ve done one video call ever when I was getting my permit for hot work. I don’t remember what app I used for that.

I like how they call it teams.

Bom bom buwip bip bom bom.

Anyone who calls me on teams can send me an email like a civilized fucking human and I’ll respond when I’m good and ready.

Or a teams message.

But I’m not a savage answering a telephone like it’s 1965.

Try setting up an elderly parent with Teams.

You mean the Skype ringtone?

One of the streamers I watch has it as a gag alert and he likes to mess with his chat.

Work Related Pavlovian Trauma.

Honestly I sometimes hear it, and my laptop’s not even on.

ptsd noises

Pavlovian priming at its finest. “Heckssake who’s calling me at… eight PM, never mind, must be the TV then”

OMFG 😂

I am the same way with the Slack “tick tick tick” notification in their commercials.
