    I don't do video calls, but while on conference calls, I've certainly been interrupted by loud calls of "DAD !!"

    Or the doorbell ringing for a delivery, after which the courier seems to think that almost bashing the door in with repeated loud knocking is needed.

    I've heard people in similar situations. Participants who go for a loud gushing pee without going on mute are quite amusing but do cause collective embarassment

      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        A couple of weeks ago the wife was WFH, and she was on a conf call with her boss and some govt client bods. I went downstairs to make a cuppa, and let rip in what I thought was the safety of the kitchen. Turns out they all heard it, and she had to explain it wasn't her. 'Twas a goodun though.
        His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

            I was house training a puppy when I was gigging with IBM (so lots of WFH) and the dog always wanted to play at conf call time,

            There was always the shout of "Who's that barking?"

            He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

            I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

              Just pure comedy that. I loved the way the baby came in second and she closed the door on her knees right at the end. Great to see funny side of normal life like this sometimes. Won't have done anyone any harm at all that, except maybe the nanny

                Just saw that on Twitter. His wife crawling in to close the door at the end is hilarious
