Wait, before I write this, let me take the time I need to ROFL. This dude or dudette really messed up, but at least they have a great story to tell on dates!

Before we find out what Reddit user Hopeless Eternity did that they'll forever remember, let's take a moment to understand and appreciate the power of technology. While technology can help reduce distance and make things more colorful, it can also teach us life lessons if we don't use it the right way.

Remember Presidio County Attorney Rod Ponton who appeared in court on the 9th February 2021 via Zoom as a cat? Yeah, let that sink in.

Apparently, the Texas lawyer could not turn off the cat filter before attending the hearing, making him look like a cat. Post that hearing which (naturally) went viral, Attorney Rod Ponton is now also known as the "I'm Not A Cat" lawyer.

Now our Reddit star, Hopeless Eternity, was in a similar situation, not once, but twice. It wasn't the first accident that made them troll famous; it was the second one where they meowed for two straight minutes in an online class trying to figure out how they messed up the first time.

Confused much? Let's dive into their misery.

Their first mistake... it's funny though.

Here's when everything hit the roof.

The reaction...

Of course, people weren't going to take light of the moment Hopeless Eternity had gone through, especially after pasting the entire ordeal on Reddit. Here's how Redditors reacted to Hopeless Eternity's facepalm moments!

Yeah, as if that's worse.

Then began the trolling... Imagine if that really happened though.

Hissing would have taken things to the next level, for sure, but I agree, nothing wrong with being a cat person.

Making sure you're muted should've been a priority, but hey, to each their own.

Well at least Hopeless Eternity isn't alone. TaterTotsAndKetchup had a similar moment, but definitely not as bad as Hopeless Eternity's.

LOL. Meowing in distress sounds weird, but I bet it'd be cool to hear what it sounds like.

Glad Hopeless Eternity didn't bray like a donkey...

Yes, we should check to ensure we're muted before we do or say things we'd regret.

Then we have a superstar teacher who'd have prefered the meowing over silence.

But then colonelbagshot had a different opinion...

But the silver lining is that OP does have good friends who appreciated the trauma.

That's true though, the teacher wanted to see their pets. Absolute legend or completely weird? Your call.

And those are words of wisdom, y'all.

According to YeOldeBilk though, OP should've played along to make it more relatable. I'm not too sure though.

Well now meowing unmuted sounds a lot better. Imagine Thefatkings' situation.

I hope you hear this OP.

Um. This is awkward.

That's a bit extreme, man.

And the facepalm award goes to...

So the next time you're in an online class or a meeting, remember to mute your mics. Treat your laptop, computer, or mobiles like loaded guns and your possible embarrassing moments like the trigger button.

The mute button is the lock you need.

Save yourself from embarrassing moments that'll haunt you for eternity!
