The book is on the table

Sometimes Skype software malfunctions and one gets a room in Skypeland where the host cannot control the room. For example, the screen gets blanked or the host gets booted or lags badly. Then quickly the room descends into chaos. People with televisions playing loudly in the background. People with arguments in the background. People who do not speak English. Children who just want to scream. People who just shout back and forth to each other, "hello...hello...hello...Where you from? hello...hello....the book is on the table...." and similar nonsense (Presumably this phrase about a book is from some sort of English classses). As soon as a conversation starts, someone else will butt in and interrupt and demand to have people talk to them instead...ugh.
