Millions of workers worldwide have been asked to continue their daily tasks from home, as more countries go into complete lockdowns in fear of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Employees who have been lucky enough to work from their homes instead of being laid off by struggling businesses, have been reporting lots of funny incidents they encountered ever since they started the new work routine over the last few weeks, and here are some examples;
First day working from home and my 3 year boy Ruari yelled "I need a poo" whilst I was on a video conference with 7 others!!!

العميل: من فضلك ادينى حد أعلى منك اكلمه
أنا: يا ماماااااااااااااااا
Translation: "Working from Home:
Client: I need to speak to your current supervisor.
Me: Moooooom!"
There is truly nothing like working from home. I was conducting an interview (on speaker so I could record it) and my sister (not knowing what I was doing) barges into my room and yells "CAN YOU TURN THAT SHIT DOWN?"
