Kampala—Coworkers at a local advertising firm CTA Space remained trapped in an infinite loop of telling one another “Oh sorry, no, go ahead,” during a morning Zoom meeting, sources confirmed Monday.
“No, no, my bad, definitely go ahead,” said copywriter Debbie, pausing three hours into the apparently endless cycle of apologizing and encouraging a colleague to continue with what they had been saying, only for other workers to add to the unbreakable pattern by chiming in, quickly cutting themselves off, and asking forgiveness for speaking over anyone else.
“I feel like I interrupted you. Sorry about that—what were you trying to say?” By press time, after a brief silence of 4 seconds, all 20 coworkers on the call were shouting over each other in a deafening cacophony.
