TIFU by falling asleep during a video chat with 20% of my class


As a little bit of background knowledge, I'm taking a theory of computation course this semester and my professor decided to hold "office hours" online in a group video chat room over spring break. I knew it would be a good idea to go to it because he would be discussing the upcoming exam.


For some reason my professor decided to have the video chat at 7:30 in the morning. This was a problem for me because I was going to bet at 3 or 4 in the morning over break. I woke up - and quickly decided that it would be best if I just recorded the chat and watched it at a time when I wasn't half asleep. I turned off my camera and set up my recording software and went back to bed.


Around noon I wake up and there are 20 messages for me on my phone. I read the first one and it's from my friend telling me to "wake up". Wtf. I read a couple more and realize that I hadn't turned my microphone off and my class had heard me snoring for the discussion. I go to my computer and stop the recording software and watch the recording. I skip ahead and there is a deafening snoring sound and people in the class are giggling. My professor thinks that someone is pulling a prank on him and he sounded PISSED. They ended up creating an entire new video chat group so they wouldn't hear me.


I'm really looking forward to coming into class tomorrow.
