Some of the things I saw while on Zoom meeting with my students I am better off not mentioning! I had to remove them from the meeting.

I was passing by a co-workers desk, when I glanced and saw him talking to his toddler who was on the toilet, then suddenly fell into the commode!

The funniest thing I’ve seen during a video call was during an interview. It was fairly casual, both of us at home, and we were almost finished. The poor lady was in the middle of telling me about the benefits package and all of a sudden she has a cat on her face, it’s limbs wrapped around her head, hanging on and trying to climb upward at the same time. After I stopped laughing and she disengaged the cat, she explained her cat had been sitting next to her monitor and it’s tail knocked over a pen holder. It got spooked and leapt for safety!!

Our youngest started kindergarten via virtual zooms. While his poor teacher was trying to lead them in a group art project, I saw one kid painting their face with the paint. Then suddenly you hear the teacher frantic going saying a kids name and watched as the kid cut their hair two inches from the head. The poor teacher is frantically trying to get them to not cut any more hair. The parent was nowhere to be seen. I felt bad, but the whole thing was so comical that I had to leave the room so I could laugh.

I was being interviewed and the very professional lady Doctor from VA Health was talking to me and couldn’t stop touching and rubbing her nose.
I saw a little light shinning on her nose and moved I closer to the camera and screen to see what she was doing with her nose. She caught me looking and asked what I was looking at. I said her nose and she replied “did something fall out of it”? And I had to pinch myself so I didn’t laugh out loud.

So, I was in a video conference with my grandsons elementary school teacher & apparently her son has "exotic pets". In this case it was a REALLY ugly lizard. You seen them before, turret eyes that point all directions, but never in the same place at the same time. Really red tongues that are always tasting the air, or anything else. Oh, & are really, really fast moving. Especially when they are scared.
This one was, I guess about seven inches long & while she was talking, looking at me, then her notes, then back at me, I watched in absolute fascination (and dread) as this mini "Godzilla" looking thing slowly come up over her left shoulder. Slowly getting closer & closer to the side of her face. I didn't want to say anything, so I just kept staring at it & & whenever she would look at me, I tried to kinda nod with my chin to the left, hoping she would at least see it before something calamitous happened.
I guess she must of thought I was had a crook in my neck or something, cause she just ignored my actions. But she sure got a rude shock when "mini-zilla" decided that there was something interesting about her ever so tasteful (or tasty) gold hoop earrings & shot out its tongue, missing them and hitting her ear instead!
I have heard people scream before. But I do not think I have ever heard the decibel level, tone variation or the shear volume that came out of this young lady. The poor lizard did the only thing it could, jumped right into her hair & apparently started running hither around her hair. The few minutes she was on the air were...monumental. The call cut out abruptly & since She had my number,but I didn't have hers, I was afraid that she might have hurt herself (or poor mini-zilla). After about 30 minutes she called my cellphone & I could hear a child sobbing in the background. Thinking the worst, I asked if she was "ok" & she assured me she was...I then tentatively asked about the lizard (hey lizard are sort of "cool"). She said "oh yes she's fine, but "Sally" and her home is no longer allowed upstairs". That is why the child is unhappy. He will get over it. Do you have anything you want to talk about your grandson?". I assured that I dint and commended her on how quickly she cooled surprised & was surprised she even called me back.
She said, "Hey I am a 4th grade teacher, I can be surprised, shocked & flummoxed, but I bounce back fast".
I said "Yes Mam"

While on a video health call the therapist kept taking a drink of coffee and every time it would leak on him, I’m kept thinking

During our group video call, Steve had forgotten or didn't realize he had enabled the camera and showed up for the meeting still dressing, but had gotten no further than his shorts.
