  • AchaiWolf Achawoo (@AchaiWolf) reported

    There's a REASON why you can't call 911 through Skype. Microsoft does not want the liability of a service problem getting SOMEONE killed.

  • puppetpassion Red the Puppet (@puppetpassion) reported

    @markiplier You didn't Skype with any puppets this year... That's you're main problem MARK

  • LeeGamble1973 Lee Gamble (@LeeGamble1973) reported

    @_Jo_pu Am offshore at the mo, we all use skype on pc's to call our family, I just called our lass and said "Hello stinky bot" when she answered but it a Scottish voice said "I think you have the wrong number" while sniggering down the phone, it was of the other lads wives, mortified 😳

    We’ve just spent 2 hours laughing with my bestie in Germany via Skype. Screw Covid - thank god for technology. Bye 2020, hello 2021, don’t you let me down now. #HAPPYNEWYEAR

  • MediaLawProf Dr. Chip Stewart (@MediaLawProf) reported

    @voiceofD It’s funny even thinking back to February, when @Popehat was so kind as to visit my law class. We used Skype, had connection problems on my end, Ken was great, but then it crashed at the end. By fall, I was having cool guests like @JessicaHuseman on Zoom pretty regularly & easily

  • melr1999 Mel (@melr1999) reported

    @6eth___ I used to hangout in a **** ton of online chats in middle school and once this dude asked me to Skype and I was like okay but then he turned on cam and he was really scary so I just force shut down the laptop and told him the laptop crashed

  • BowToCarmel ༻ 𝒬𝓊𝑒𝑒𝓃 𝒞𝒶𝓇𝓂𝑒𝓁 ༺ 10th Feb 🎂 (@BowToCarmel) reported

    A man paid $40 to Skype My feet for 5min last night and he didn’t even last 2min. Even the lowest part of My body can bring men crumbling down.

  • Paestrol Paoes TRol (@Paestrol) reported

    In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.

    @IdentityWoman @Microsoft @Skype “We have no data on you and hence treat you as a new user every time you login.”

  • paddyjoeboyle Patrick Boyle (@paddyjoeboyle) reported

    Skype’s 2021 resolution is to help people log back in.

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • thesavvyfox SavFox (@thesavvyfox) reported

    I'm sick of the 'parents need to step up' attitude about schools closing. Its not that we don't want to engage or help with learning its that both are pretty hard when you are in a Skype meeting or working full time That doesnt mean I think they should keep all schools open

  • SamsaraSings Samsara is fed up of MoscowMitch (@SamsaraSings) reported

    @eat4thefuture Yeah I got FaceTime. Wanna count down with me??? I think only 2 ppl can do it at a time though which was why I suggested Skype as that’s unlimited.

  • alexlashess Alexandra (@alexlashess) reported

    every time a guy breaks up or ends things with me i bet they delete the skype app off their phone LOLLL android problems

  • TillyAlcock Tilly (@TillyAlcock) reported

    @LY_VIOLETROSE I think they take pleasure in being contrary and the fix of “I know best and the world is against me”, it’s bloody arrogant and dangerous. If they truly believe it doesn’t exist then let them spend 5mins on a ward listening to a family saying goodbye to loved one by Skype.

  • JuanitaIguana1 Juanita Iguana 🌊 #resist, #RidenwithBiden (@JuanitaIguana1) reported

    @funder If you are lonely, just know there are people out there who care about you that don't even know you. The best way to not be lonely is to help others in some way. Sign up to call senior citizens to check in on them, tutor kids by Skype, or volunteer some where.

  • RCMtalks Helz (@RCMtalks) reported

    July: I've been accepted onto a leadership programme. I'm enjoying table service at pubs but this booking malarkey can do one. Still frequenting the Skype Bar. Afterwork drinks need way more effort now but the tradition of Thirsty Thursdays, Wino Wednesdays and Tipple Tuesdays.

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Im in a skype call called actual Mishas please help me

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    also when i was doing 1 pm bulletin and having just been introduced by Ben Brown the internet went down and he was left with dead air and me swearing. Skype is banned software at the hospital and doesn't work at home so that was the end of my attempts to use it

  • toa_XY Thomas O. Adams (@toa_XY) reported

    @matvelloso Of course a failed login attempt originating in China. Trying to get into my Skype LOL. Couldn't you send warnings to users that usually login in one country and who have failed login attempts in other countries?

  • pawannthakur Pawan Thakur (@pawannthakur) reported

    I am Programmer by Profession, unless you are close or I like you as a person or we are doing a value exchange. I even charge for sitting and listening to your problem on Skype and later for fixing it. I studied and worked hard to become this capable. NOTHING for FREE.

    @Adiofreak Adio, i hope my boobs sag down to the floor one day so that I can walk 1000 miles while they drag on the hot gravel just to eat tacos with you on over Skype on a shitty dial up connection.

  • SunsetGrither Mathias Croqvist (@SunsetGrither) reported

    @GamerThumbTV Most likely spending it video calling with friends and family all on discord, Skype and such to all be some what together while celebrating and watching the festivities of fireworks on Tv while we count down a shitty end to a shitty year.

    Tonight was a bit sad, my mom made finger foods for tonight and it triggered a flashback from when I was in a religious cult. My fiance was there on skype to help me through it. These flashbacks wont stop until I get out of Ga for good. #religiouscultsurvivor
