Have you ever been caught eating something during a virtual work call? If yes, you might relate to a post currently making the rounds online. A Pune-based X user recently shared what happened when she started munching on a treat during an online meeting. Although her camera seemed to have been off, the noise of her snacking reached her manager through her unmuted mic. The latter sent her a separate message about the same, which has left many people in stitches. The now-viral X post was shared by a user named Dhimahi Jain (@Dhimahi11).

Dhimahi attached two photos to the post. One shows the chunky coconut cookies she was relishing. The other is a screenshot of her manager's message. In the caption, she wrote, "Today I couldn't control myself and started snacking on my fav cookies during a work call, thinking mic mei kya hi awaz aaegi [...thinking it's noise won't mostly be heard over a mic]. And this is how my manager reacted. The text read, "Dhimahi, please mute yourself, biskut ki kurum kurum ki awaazein aa rahi hai... [we can hear the noise of biscuits being munched]."
