People do the wildest things on their work video calls… and sometimes they don't even realize it until their coworkers are giggling at their expense.
I'm a huge fan of people who show their pets during Zoom video calls. First of all, if you work from home, Fluffy is your coworker now, so get him on the call, pronto!
