A common horror story is when the meeting is unprepared. People show up not knowing what the meeting is about. There's no clear agenda, and it just becomes a muddled mess of random conversations.
Technical issues are common. Like bad connections that make voices echo or videos freeze at the wrong moment. For example, someone might be presenting something important and their video goes all pixelated.
I once heard that a fan met a famous athlete. The athlete was in a bad mood and refused to sign an autograph, which was the whole reason the fan was there. It was really disappointing for the fan.
Well, in some 341 meetings, there might be a person who dominates the whole conversation. They don't let others speak and push their own ideas forcefully. For example, I once attended a 341 meeting where this one colleague just talked non - stop about his project, not giving a chance to others to present their work or ideas. It made the whole meeting very frustrating for everyone else.
One horror story is when someone's pet suddenly started making a huge racket in the background during an important work Zoom meeting. The person was trying to mute but accidentally unmuted themselves instead, and the dog barking and cat meowing became the center of attention for a very awkward few minutes.
There was a case where someone joined an online gaming group. They befriended a person in the group and decided to meet up. However, when they met, the so - called friend tried to steal their wallet. It was a shock because they thought they had made a real friend through their shared love for the game. Apparently, the thief had been targeting people from the gaming group all along.
One common type is technology fails. Like the projector not working properly and the presenter trying all sorts of crazy things to fix it. Another is when people mishear or misunderstand something. For example, thinking 'annual report' as 'annual sport' and starting to talk about sports in a business meeting.
Well, I know of a situation where a person met a popular singer at an after - party. The singer was drunk and started making inappropriate comments to the person who just wanted a nice photo and a short chat. It made the person feel very uncomfortable and sort of ruined their perception of the singer. This just goes to show that celebrities are humans too and can behave badly sometimes.
One common experience is nervousness. Most people are a bit jittery before meeting someone they've only known online. Another is the initial awkwardness when you first see each other in person. Also, finding common interests to talk about, like movies or travel, often happens in these first meetings.
A common one is about a student not doing homework. The teacher complains at the meeting, and the parent spanks the child to make them more responsible for schoolwork.
Well, I heard about a person who met someone on an online forum. They arranged to meet at a coffee shop. But when they met, the other person just stared at them in a really creepy way the whole time and didn't say much. It was so uncomfortable that the person left as soon as possible.
