Embarrassing Misunderstandings
A. Cranium Fossa Chat Show:
One morning during an anatomy lecture on osteology for cranial fossae, a student joined the class late without breakfast. However, not realizing their microphone was on, they conversed with their younger brother, asking him to remove a cup of tea. Little did they know, the entire WhatsApp group was flooded with messages asking to turn off their microphone. The student, shrouded in embarrassment, overlooked the advice to mute until it was too late.
B. The Compliment that Failed
B. Biochemistry Group Chat Chaos:
During a bored evening biochemistry class, a student accidentally sent a text addressed to their professor as a compliment. The joke soon circulated among the WhatsApp group, making the matter even more awkward and embarrassing for the student.
Classroom Comedy
C. Melodious Chaos:
Another evening in biochemistry class, a student was on the verge of nodding off when someone suddenly turned on the microphone to play a popular Bollywood song. The student burst into laughter, causing a significant disruption. The professor, clearly annoyed, was left with a disappointed look, but the prankster heartily laughed at his expense, finding a moment of joy in the pandemic's gloom.
Adero SR Ma'am

E. Bathroom Mishap
Embarrassing Class Snafu:
There's a story about a student who had to take a bath while attending an online class. When the teacher called their full name and the student didn't respond, they were confused.

The resulting laughter and confusion were highly entertaining.
Camera Mishaps and More
Technical Glitches:
A friend of mine joined an online class by mistake and forgot to turn off the camera, leading to a quick message from their friend to shut it off. Finding themselves in an odd position, my friend was fortunate enough not to have a photo taken, making it a near-miss for a viral meme.
