As more people are adapting to working from home and children are getting used to online learning, there are some people who have decided to use the new online world as an excuse to do less work and have a little fun!
To showcase a few of these people, here are 17+ people who used Zoom to their advantage!
RELATED STORIES
“Zoom classes!”
This is just the 2020 version of kids being told off for swinging back on their chairs… And it’s infinitely more dangerous!
“The teacher texted me and told me to wake her up.”
You would have thought that sleeping in class would be much easier via Zoom, but clearly some kids have not mastered the art of turning off the webcam just yet.
“2020 professional attire.”
Pfft, this is amateur behavior! You need to at least make sure that your underpants match your tie! We’re lazy, not savages!
The Newest Trick In The Book…
This teacher wrote, “Today one of my 4th grade students renamed himself ‘reconecting…’ on our Zoom call and pretended that he was having internet issues to avoid participating in our lesson.”
“The joys of working from home.”
I particularly like that just “No” is one of the answers!
“I told my students that if almost all of them did an online test they could choose my facial hair.”
Sometimes you have to motivate your class in any way you can! And, when sweets aren’t a viable option for bribery, you have to resort to bizarre lengths!
“The decoy laptop is working.”
That cat knows exactly what you have done but doesn’t care. All you have done is cave and purchase this cat their own laptop, which is exactly what they wanted in the first place!
“Quarantine with kids in virtual class or homeschool? We got you covered.”
That seems insanely cheap, but then again I’m not going to argue with that! Can’t say I’d be going for Peach Crown Royal though. That stuff is horrendous.
“I was working remote from the coffee shop today.”
Wow, as far as terrible jokes go, this one is both awful and requires a truly staggering amount of work! I know that some places don’t mind about work attire but this is taking liberties!
“Trying to explain why he’s been getting so much more attention lately.”
Don’t be such an analytical monster and just keep petting him! Look at that face! He just wants more pets!
“Kindergarten Zoom school, by my husband.”
The very idea of a kid shoving Cheese Puffs up their nose is making my eyes water… I may vomit if I look at it any longer!
“Working from home…”
Those sheep do not look like they are practicing appropriate social distancing. This collie needs to get right on that!
“How our 5th grader is coping with Monday. If wearing a plague doctor mask while remote learning doesn’t sum up 2020 schooling, I don’t know what does.”
This is a genius thing to do! After a few days they could easily stuff that outfit with pillows and the teacher would never know… Well, until they were asked a question that is.
“Told my wife I’d work on some home improvement projects during quarantine.”
I like where their head was going with this, but they should probably have chosen a drink that doesn’t scream, “My first alcoholic drink! Woo!”
“Chose and laid out my outfits for the next 2 weeks.”
Working from home can be great in terms of not having to do as much washing as you might normally do, but with winter on the horizon, they’re going to have to start wrapping up a little more!
“This is virtual kindergarten!”
Okay, so this kid may be somewhat asleep, but at least they are not shoving anything up their nose, which is a definite win when it comes to kindergarten!
“The cat loves to show her ass during the daughter’s virtual clASSes.”
Well, having your cat’s backside prominently displayed on your screen is a good way to make sure that your teacher doesn’t spend too long checking that you’re working.
“Experts recommend keeping your daily rituals even while working from home.”
Hmmm, they should maybe invest in some mannequins and jam the bathroom full of them to really complete the effect!
“I like to design unnecessary products so I created a pair of [shutters] for Zoom meetings.”
It’s to help block the sun glare from my webcam, I promise! Totally not to hide the fact that I’m not wearing pants when I stand up to get more coffee.
“My dad works from home and sticks his to-do lists on the fridge. It’s been slow.”
It’s nice that there aren’t times on it. It’s a “get to it when you can” type of system.
“Teaching 5th graders on zoom has been a blast.”
Oh, to have the simplistic comparison skills and lack of nuanced thinking that a fifth grader has.
“Dropped in on my kids’ Zoom classes – payback for all the interruptions to my work calls.”
Here’s the important question: Did you just walk by casually or did you do a tactical combat roll and pretend you were hunting an enemy?
“I am working from home, and my daughter is doing school at home. She started passing me notes because she wanted it to ‘feel more like she was at school’.”
Whoa, what did you do to get your nutheadedness taken away? I’ve been trying to shake it for years.
“My [roommate’s] zoom meeting attire.”
He even took the effort of putting on a suit jacket. For me, putting on a button-up instead of a t-shirt is already way more work.
“My work from home coffee station.”
Some of us can make do with just caffeine, but others need an extra little kick in the morning.
“My professor figured out how to add a custom background in Zoom.”
Whoa, he can teach while flying through the air like that? He’s so talented!
“The product to end the existential gap between a call ending and closing the window.”
Not to mention it’d be way more satisfying too. Open palm smack that button to release some of that meeting stress.
“Day 66 of work from home.”
The cats have gotten too used to us being at home all the time. When we return to our offices they’re going to be so offended that they’re not able to bug us as much.
“Today I introduced wellness benefits for our work from home situation.”
Whaaat, I don’t have anything like this! I mean, I live alone, but this would still be a nice offer!
“I put a pizza emoji on my head for this whole meeting and I’m just waiting for my senior manager to crack. So far her eye is twitching furiously.”
I love how it’s positioned. It looks like a little party hat. Pizza party hat for tiny birthdays.
“This is why I can’t work from home.”
Cat aside, you not only have pants on, but jeans and a belt while working from home? I’m impressed.
“Got a new kitten yesterday. My boxer thinks it’s her baby. This is how I’m trying to work from home today.”
If you thought just a kitten was bad from that last picture, how about a kitten and a large dog? At least it’s cute!
“I asked my boyfriend to join my Zoom meeting to critique my assignment presentation.”
This is exactly the sort of thing that I would do if someone asked this request of me. And if you wouldn’t do this then you’re doing Zoom wrong!
“I work from home, but my office manager keeps me in line.”
After all, if you don’t have someone breathing down your neck, can you really call it work?
“A picture of my brother in P.E. class today.”
Getting out of P.E. has never been easier! No longer will people need to be forging doctors’ notes!
