We All Know One!

If you use zoom or other video meeting apps for your work, school or entertainment, you would definitely recognise the below ‘interesting’ people.

We all know at least one person from each category.

Scroll down for a lively chuckle and do share it with people who are part of your daily video meetings!

Astha is a perfectionist and she makes sure her video background looks great. She always brings plants and other decorative materials to make her screen look pleasant for rest of the team!

Unlike Astha, Victor could not find those pretty things in his house.  So he decides to use virtual background for the meeting he logs in.

No one knows where he works from or how his home looks like!

Meet Warren who sits with his back facing the window or a bright light source. We are guessing that he is Warren, but we really don’t know if that is him for sure!

* * *

Oviya thinks every zoom meeting is a beauty contest and she dresses up as much as possible spending a lot of time!

* * *

Meet the other end of Oviya! Umar usually wakes up one and half minutes before the meeting and has no time to get ready and joins underdressed half-way through the conversation!

* * *

Natraj and his network connection do not go together! With poor internet, Natraj’s screen hangs in the middle of all his meetings, leaving you to wonder whether you should continue to speak or not!

* * *

While Natraj’s screen hangs, for the same reason, Valaria’s speech is machine translated to beautiful violin music, played free of cost for rest of the team!

Gives a good break in the midst of serious business or academic discussion!

* * *

Meet the ever-hungry Foodie Fiona, who sneaks food and other items during the meetings and when the boss is not looking, manages deliver a biscuit to her mouth successfully like landing a rocket in the moon! 

* * *

While we all think Senthil is giving an extraordinary impromptu speech, he had pre-prepared the script that he tapes to the screen before the meeting.

But Fiona finds the trick by noticing Senthil’s eyeball movements!

* * *

With Patricia not fully seen, you are left to wonder if it’s the teddy bear and the book shelf or Patricia who are participants in the meeting!

Any way you continue to talk to all of them!

* * *

With Muthu’s enthusiasm, you know that he is speaking something but his mic is on mute, as always. You pray to God that he doesn’t start from the beginning when he unmutes!

And when you want to tell him that he is on mute, don’t forget to unmute your mic!!

* * *

Charis’ family members are equally enthusiastic to join the meeting and know what is going on! In the middle of boss’s monotonous voice, a little goo-goo gaa-gaa is definitely a good change for the rest of the team!

* * * 

Over-worked Steve finds solace in the boring meeting to catch up on few winks of his sleep! And with video turned on!

* * * 

Sharon is shy of the rest of the team in the meeting room and mutes audio and video and making rest of the team to speak to name on the screen! When everyone becomes Sharon, zoom is converted into a conference call!

* * * 

Messages in WhatsApp or Instagram are more interesting and gives her some peace and diversion during long boring meetings!

* * * 

Many of us may be Benjamins, but just make sure you do not stand during a meeting and rest is likely to be fine!!

Send this to someone who is one of these people to make their day!
