My coworker was always forgetting to turn off his microphone during breaks in online meetings. One time, he was singing a really off - key song very loudly while making himself a snack. We all heard it and had a great laugh when he realized what had happened. He was so red - faced.
At work, we had to do temperature checks every day. One guy was always so worried about having a fever. One day, he accidentally used a thermometer that was broken and it showed a super high temperature. He panicked until we realized it was the thermometer's fault. His over - the - top reaction was really funny.
Sure. One funny story was when my neighbor was trying so hard to teach his dog not to bark during his Zoom meetings. He ended up dressing the dog in a little 'Zoom meeting' costume with a tie and a fake pair of glasses. It was hilarious.
Sure. One story is about a man who was so bored during lockdown that he started a 'talking to plants' competition with his neighbor. They would stand on their balconies and tell stories to their plants, and the plants that seemed the healthiest at the end were declared the winners. It was a really silly but fun way to pass the time.
One funny story was when people started making DIY face masks. My neighbor used a pair of his old boxer shorts to make a mask. It looked so ridiculous with the colorful patterns, but he said it was breathable at least.
Sure. One story is about a family who started a quarantine talent show. Everyone in the family had to perform a unique talent, from the grandpa doing magic tricks with his walking stick to the little kid doing a wild dance. It brought so much laughter during those locked - down days.
Well, in my neighborhood, there was a man who was always trying to do something new during lockdown. He set up a mini - golf course in his backyard. He invited his neighbors to play while maintaining social distance. It was a hilarious sight to see everyone trying to play golf in such a small space but having a great time.
In my office, we had a new coffee machine. I volunteered to be the first one to use it to show how easy it was. Well, I couldn't figure out how to start it. I pushed all the buttons and even shook it a bit. Finally, when it did start, coffee spurted out everywhere because I had put the wrong type of cup under it. It was a mess and my colleagues had a good laugh at my expense.
Sure! One of my friends thought she could finally learn to bake during isolation. But every time she tried to make a cake, it ended up flat as a pancake. Another friend accidentally locked himself out of his balcony while trying to get some fresh air during isolation. He had to call the landlord to rescue him.
One funny story is that during a Zoom meeting, someone's cat walked across the keyboard and accidentally muted the whole team. We all spent a few minutes trying to figure out what happened while the cat just sat there looking innocent.
A waiter in a restaurant was carrying a tray full of drinks. He tripped over his own shoelace which he had forgotten to tie. All the drinks went flying and landed on a customer who was a good sport about it and just laughed. The waiter was really embarrassed but it made for a funny story. Well, it all started when the waiter was in a hurry because the kitchen was really busy and he didn't take the time to check his shoelaces. So, this kind of work - related accident can happen when people are distracted or in a rush.
One patient had severe headaches as a long - haul COVID symptom. They tried different medications, but finally found relief with acupuncture. The acupuncture sessions seemed to relieve the tension in their head. After a series of treatments, the headaches became less frequent and less severe, and now they are headache - free most of the time. This is a great example of alternative therapies being successful in long haul COVID cases.
