We’ve all been getting used to having a lot of online webcam calls over the past two years. In the beginning, I put effort into looking cute, or at least presentable on camera for my coworkers. However, these days? I’m absolutely not doing that.
So I completely understand how someone would get lazy about their background, we’re all getting lazy about everything . However, one poor woman slipped up when she left an NSFW item in the background.

We’ve all experienced an embarrassing moment, or two, on a Zoom call.
Whether it’s your children screaming in the background, or your hubby running around in just a towel, we’ve all had moments we wish we could forget forever .
However, I’d be hard-pressed to find a moment as embarrassing as the one I’m about to share.
A woman from London, England was left mortified after realizing she had left a bottle of lube in the background of a work call with her boss.
According to The Sun , 32-year-old HR worker Nicki Faulkner said: “About 15 minutes into the call I clocked the lube on the shelf behind me, it was too late to move it.”
“My manager would then know I’d seen it and it would draw more attention to it,” she added.”It’s one of those taboos, I died inside a little bit.”
“It was the Durex massage lube. It was definitely obvious – what else could it be?”
Thankfully, Nicki had a great attitude about the whole thing.
“Next time I’ll be doing meetings from the kitchen table. Bed was always going to be a bad idea.”
After posting about the event on social media, Nicki shared that her friends thought it was “hilarious” — obviously.
“I work for a start-up, a big corporate company that adds to how hilarious it is.”
“My friends all thought it was hilarious. They think I have a much more serious job than I actually do.”
I love Nicki’s attitude about it — sometimes you’ve just got to laugh!
