Just popped to my mind and I started wondering if I'm the only one with this kinda experience.

So yeah, my voice is getting deeper and lower but I do have my not so glorious moments when I sound like a dying donkey or a squealing pig. I really don't mind them but I had a "piggy moment" when I seriously didn't need one...

Anyways, I was at a local store to get food and other necessities, like cigarettes. I sometimes get ID'd there because I'm not that regular customer.
I usually get very pissed off if I'm asked to show my ID because I haven't updated it to my new name because I'm lazy and all that jazz but on that one day, I wasn't pissed.
So, back to the actual case. There I was, about to pay for my stuff but first I needed my cigarette stuff (I roll my cigs and I was out of tobacco).
As I started my sentence to get I what I wanted, my voice obviously thought "Well, this is a fine time to rise up a few notches!" AKA make me sound like a little piglet squeaking. It totally made me sound like a minor kid, trying his luck to get smokes and of course, the cashier ID'd me.
Okay, I would've normally been irritated by it but not this time. Now I was in a hurry to get behind some corner so I could laugh at myself. :D

Still makes me chuckle when I remember that moment. :'D

This happens to me a lot lately. I can be talking fine in a normal deep voice for hours...until a client rings me and I answer the phone sounding like a cat stuck in a dryer.

It's happened a few times while I've been doing presentations or answering questions at college too which prompts everyone to laugh at me xD it's now a running joke that my puberty is finally kicking in, it makes me laugh because they really don't know just how accurate that is

Yeah. This happens to cis-males during puberty, too, to varying degrees. Some get luckier than others and don't get the voice squeaking as much (I didn't), and some get it bad to hilarious effect. I'm sure that it'll normalize eventually. :D
