spiking

A particularly frustrating and violent (and usually loud) skype conversation. Usually with a grandparent or someone unused to modern technology. It doesn't start well and ends even worse.

Child: Hello? HELLO? Grandma can you hear me? Grandparent: HELLO? HOW DO YOU WORK THIS THING? ARE WE SPIKING?! Child: Grandma click the volume button! Grandparent: WHATS GOING ON?! I DON'T SEE YOU. CAN YOU SEE ME?! SPIKE ISN'T WORKING! Child: *mimes turning up volume* Grandparent: THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. I'M GOING TO CALL YOU! Child: Wait! Wait! All you have to- Click.
