During the lockdown, a friend of mine decided to do online fitness classes. But his cat always jumped on him in the middle of the session. Once, the cat even sat on his head while he was doing push - ups. It was hilarious to watch on the video call.
In my office, we had a virtual party during Covid. One colleague accidentally turned on a really embarrassing filter that made him look like a purple alien. He didn't realize it at first and kept talking seriously. We were all trying hard not to laugh out loud.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Sure. In my office, we had a video call meeting. One of my colleagues' cat jumped on his lap and started walking all over the keyboard during the meeting. His face was so panicked as he tried to shoo the cat away while still looking professional. And we could see all these random characters popping up on his screen as the cat stepped on the keys. It was a really funny moment in the middle of the serious COVID - 19 work - from - home situation.
Sure. There was a story of a small local community. They quickly organized themselves. Volunteers distributed masks and sanitizers door - to - door. They also set up a community - based testing center. Through their combined efforts, the infection rate in that community remained very low compared to neighboring areas.
A young woman who worked in a healthcare setting got COVID. She spread it unknowingly to her whole family. Her sister, who was pregnant at the time, had a very difficult time. The baby was born prematurely because of the mother's COVID infection. The family faced so many uncertainties and fears regarding the baby's health and the future of the family.
Sure. One real story is about a nurse. She worked long hours in the hospital taking care of COVID - 19 patients. She was so tired but still managed to give her best. She would hold the hands of the patients who were scared and lonely, providing not just medical care but also emotional support.
