    “Sorry, it cut out for me. Can you repeat that last part?”

    I use this line in… a lot of online meetings.

      Sometimes if you spaced out for too long, you could just say “sorry, the call was going crazy for a minute there, all I got was you saying thursday…”

        Also gotta love when the noise filter filters out your snoring, so the person you’re talking to doesn’t know you didn’t hear because you fell asleep. Over and over through your conversation.

        I sometimes wonder if zoomers pretend they have bad internet in real life interactions.

        If that sounds like something a boomer would say: I’m a millenial

      I just say I was doing something else for a moment. It’s not my fault if they assume that something else was work related.
