Triple-Muted 

When you are on a Zoom call and you are muted and your headphones are also on mute. You talk and no one hears you, so you unmute and still no one hears you. And then when you finally unmute properly you can't get a word in because no one wants to listen to you anyway.

Well that call was a waste of time, I was triple-muted.
