Just realized my fridge has a thing for interrupting video calls

I was presenting to my boss when the fridge beeped so loud it echoed. He asked if I had a timer set for pizza. I had to admit it was just my kitchen appliance saying hi. Now I unplug the fridge before important meetings. (Well, not really, but I did learn to mute my mic faster.)

Your fridge's alert inspired mine to beep while I was explaining my job skills in an interview.

My fridge loves to chime in during calls too, usually at the worst moment. It blasted an alert while I was explaining a recipe to a friend, and they thought my kitchen was possessed. I keep my mute button handy now for any surprise appliance announcements. We're all just living with noisy kitchens.

Once my dishwasher started beeping mid-call and my boss asked if I was launching a spaceship.
