The background: I've been a member of a dojo for about 5 years now and my family are close friends with a lot of the teachers. We meet outside class occasionally to chat so a wisecrack at me in class sometimes happens in good fun. I also play a whole lot of D&D and I'm a bit of a forever DM. Due to the pandemic, both of these activities have moved to zoom. On one hand it doesn't give the same experience, but on the other I can use a screen name to let people who haven't played with me yet know who's the DM.
The Fuck Up: I log onto a zoom karate class and immediately something is up. The Shihan (senior teacher for anyone not well versed in martial arts or Japanese) is cracking up. I think "Oh someone must have told a joke while they were waiting for everyone to arrive", turn on my audio, and get on with class. Towards the end Shihan goes "Alright everyone I know that was a hard class but at least we've got God himself is here to answer questions after class." It hits me. I forgot to change my zoom name after my last D&D session and it's still God. Turns out the reason Shihan was laughing so hard was because he got a full screen pop up that said "God has entered the waiting room". I'm mortified, say something about my day of sabbath, and then promptly leave the meeting. Not as extreme as some of the posts on this sub but hey, it's funny.
TL;DR, I told my karate class that I'm God without realizing.
