Can You Hear Me?
SUBMITTED BY:

Every call I’m on starts with at least one person asking, “Can you hear me?” even though we can already hear them. Sometimes they ask it more than once. Everyone says yes, but they don’t seem to trust it, so they ask again.

At least one person is always talking while muted. You can see them speaking, but nothing is coming through. Someone eventually says, “You’re muted,” and they fix it, but by then whatever they were saying is gone. Then someone else joins late and asks the same question again. “Can you hear me?” We go through the whole thing again.

There’s always a moment where multiple people start talking at once, then stop, then tell each other to go ahead. No one ever actually does. Eventually someone just keeps talking and everyone else lets it happen.

This happens every single time. It feels like part of the process now.

⚠ SYSTEM DISCLAIMER: READ OR DON’T (WE LOGGED IT EITHER WAY)

Blabbermouth is a satirical, user-driven reporting system designed for entertainment, absurdity, and mild existential discomfort. Submissions may include fictionalized, exaggerated, or questionably accurate accounts of workplace behavior, interpersonal chaos, and deeply human nonsense.

Submissions are reviewed for basic survivability only. Accuracy, emotional fallout, and legal coherence are considered optional features. Details may be altered, memories may be weaponized, and we reserve the right to redact names or companies, and anything else we feel like in the interest of plausible deniability or general amusement. Accountability has been carefully removed, misplaced, or reassigned to an intern for your protection and ours. By continuing, you acknowledge that everything you read is allegedly true, potentially fabricated, legally questionable, spiritually binding, and definitively not our problem—and should remain undocumented everywhere else.

By using this system, you acknowledge the following:

  • Nothing here should be considered factual, verified, or responsible.
    This is not journalism. This is barely communication.
  • Do not submit real personal, confidential, or legally sensitive information.
    Seriously. Don’t. That includes full names, private details, trade secrets, or anything your HR department would print and laminate.
  • You are solely responsible for what you submit.
    If you type it, you own it. We didn’t make you do that. (We may judge you quietly.)
  • All content is subject to moderation, removal, reinterpretation, or dramatic reframing.
    The system reserves the right to flag, alter, or archive submissions under categories such as “Suspiciously Specific” or “Emotionally Charged but Legally Concerning.”
  • This platform does not endorse harassment, defamation, or targeted attacks.
    If you try that, your submission may be removed, mocked, or silently fed into the void.
  • Any resemblance to real persons, companies, or situations is either coincidental or a sign you should reflect privately.
  • No guarantees are made regarding accuracy, outcomes, emotional closure, or karmic justice.
  • By continuing, you consent to your submission being displayed, archived, or used as evidence in the court of public absurdity.

Proceed at your own risk. The system is watching, but not helping.

If you are seeking real resolution, professional advice, or adult supervision, this is not the system for you.
