It was just another Tuesday afternoon when Mark decided to join a serious work video call from his living room. He put on a crisp shirt but paired it with his favorite fuzzy pajama bottoms, thinking no one would notice. Halfway through the meeting, as he was passionately discussing next quarter’s projections, his cat, Mr. Whiskers, leaped onto the desk, knocking over a stack of papers and revealing Mark’s secret pajama status to the whole team. And as luck would have it, the next thing Mark heard was his boss’s voice, “Uh, Mark, is the camera on?”
Picture the chaos that ensued! Mark turned crimson as he fumbled to adjust the camera angle while Mr. Whiskers boldly strutted around, completely unfazed, while everyone else burst into laughter. It was one of those rare moments where a Zoom call became a comedy show, and beyond the professional facade, they all got a treat of Mark’s fashion fiasco. From that day on, “Is the camera on?” became the unofficial reminder for everyone to check their wardrobe—just in case Mr. Whiskers decided to make an appearance!

Sick hat
R
Toboggan?
R
Is it a Toboggan hat… No strings and pompom?
R
Idk
T
That was a new word for me today. Thanks!
R
Canadian things
L
I’m a Canadian, and a “toboggan” was always a sled where I live. No one called toques “toboggans”. Wasn’t until I was older and lived elsewhere when I heard someone refer to wearing a toboggan on their head. Needless to say, was very confused lol ETA: Oh yeah, we called that style of hat “toques”, which you probably gathered lol
O
(…why are they wearing a sled on their head?) \*confused Canadian noises*
J
I grew up in the southern US, we call the hat a toboggan. I met some people from Michigan when I was 12 and they were extremely confused about where my sled was when I said I have to go get my toboggan and came back with a hat.
R
I didn’t hear the word beanie until I was 28. It’s a toque!
T
That’s what it meant in Connecticut. They were the wooden ones. Everything else was a “sled.”
R
I’m Canadian….I don’t recall torques with ear flaps
S
Fellow Canadian here. Every hat you wore for winter was a toque to me.
L
100% this haha. Pretty much any beanie-style, bib-/rim-less hat was a toque
I
That’s a sled lol what
R
Rosebud
S
And also a hat
I
No thank you
F
Busted 2.0. Yeah it’s on lol.
I
Instant regret face
F
He came back to finish the job. But checked the camera first to see if it was off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🫣📸. Yep, just plead guilty, no explanation.
L
And voice
F
Sounded like ‘ I Jesus’. Saying a quick prayer.
G
Technology is amazing! My mother used to put rat traps in the cookie jar!
B
#*”Accountability”*
E
Lol, not sure if I should laugh or feel sad 💀
M
to be fair, when he says “it’s on” and the camera pans back to his face scrunched up and about to cry 😂 also, you have to think about how often this kid must get up in the middle of the night to steal snacks that his parents felt the need to do this.
R
Or he just has super strict Asian parents who regulate his fridge privileges, and he’s “sad” cause he knows that the consequences of his fridge visit are gonna be extreme.
P
Yep. Lemme tell you, the type of parent to leave a camera in the fridge is the micromanagy type
E
Tbh if I knew my kid would do this, I would totally put a camera on the fridge so we would have this footage for his wedding.
F
That’s a lot better than bamboo sticks to the thigh
T
I always got feather duster to the hand. It has feathers so it’s soft, ignore the wood core.
A
Honestly… I just grab the jumper cables, fixes the problem so you don’t have to do this sorta round-a-bout stuff.
R
Pretty much
S
Aren’t all asian parents like that? at least stereotypical. However, if they end up publishing this video… perhaps they are not like that.
O
Yeah, if I had to hide snacks. It was super easy, no need to put a camera in the fridge.
V
He’s a kid. They cry over the silliest things. He’s sad because he can’t have his snacks
A
Vaguely racist comment and a lot of baseless assumptions
F
As someone who had an Asian mother I find his comment extremely accurate. When I was a kid I’d often find myself crying immediately after something had happened that would earn me a beating just thinking about it before they even found out.
G
They put a camera in the fridge. I think there’s a base for some assumptions.
R
Racial and racist are two different words. Learn them both instead of throwing around the same one over and over again incorrectly.
S
Hey maybe hes adopted
T
My friend and her kids live with me and the oldest is a night bandit. Some people might think it’s funny or “kids being kids” but it became truly miserable after a while. To this day I have to hide all of my food in my bedroom in my own house because the kid was never taught boundaries. But when he was younger, I would go to bake something and find where he’d eaten all of the expensive baking chocolate. Or would eat icing straight out of tubs and then put the tubs back in the cabinet. Would destroy every single box of macaroni so he could take the cheese out of them to put into one meal for himself, then waste the rest. I would buy food for meals over the next few days and wake up to no bread or meat left. Once bought 90 cokes and they were gone two days later and nobody else in the house had got any. It got to a point where I bought a new freezer (and am saving for a new fridge) that have locks on them.
M
i mean, i’d kick them out. that sounds like a terrible way to live on purpose.
M
Sounds like Prader-Willi syndrome
S
Agree. That camera exists for a reason. He might have a problem or issue that we have no context for
I
Poor dude looks like an old man in the last shot.
M
Camera adds a few years
S
That plastic cover looking like a lady holding her arm up. Very statuesque.
T
I saw the exact same thing. Looked like marble and I didn’t even question it
