If they don't get annoyed themselves and move out at least turn the volume down, at least you're entertaining yourself rather than just getting angry.

GordonG 27 Jun 10:42am, 27 Jun 2024 10,411 posts	0 GordonG i've said this before, but it's happening right now and it's annoying me again. Multi-agency webinars where attendees who have no input to the webinar keep their camera on. i'm on a webinar right now with about 35 people from around the county and there's a woman sitting at home - her front room only vaguely blurred in the background - who has no contribution to the seminar and she's got her camera on. Why?!?

Reminds me of my attempt to say miscellaneous in secondary school. It's hard to try and pronounce something you've only seen in writing. I think it came out like mishanilus!
