'There is a guy in Zoom court literally going through the car wash': 20+ Zoom court mishaps

Zoom is very useful for some things, but it's really best to go to court in person if you can. It was a necessity during the dark years of the early 2020s, when we all needed to stay indoors and protect ourselves from illness. We suddenly found ourselves having Zoom holidays, with forty family members all trying to talk at once from their separate dining rooms. Instead of going to school in person, the kids spent a while getting their education via screens. Even things like doctor's appointments could now be done from the comfort of our own homes.

There was no exception for people who were going through the legal system at the time. Instead of pushing back court dates indefinitely, people were instructed to call in to a trial or a court date via Zoom. Even their lawyers called in via the video calling app! It didn't go smoothly all the time… even though we're supposed to take court very seriously, a lot of Zoom callers just couldn't be bothered. I guess court would seem less intimidating if you're sitting on your couch drinking a smoothie while chatting with your lawyer. Some folks did a lot worse than that, as you can check out down below.
