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-
