I probably spend too much time here, but you guys are all too funny. I'm often trying to suppress laughs while in the office, which just comes out as a type of reverse snort. Usually, I follow that up with a cough or two or blow my nose, but it's obviously a cover for me reading hilarious content at work. Kudos and thanks to you all!

I think I'll end with a few pointers to help you avoid awkward situations at work:

1. Don't take your phone with you to the bathroom, or put it in airplane mode and play chess instead

2. Don't have R2R open whilst on a tele- or video-conference call; the latter is especially embarrassing

3. Move up in the company till you get your own office with a door. Make it sound proof.

Thanks @tbrown , I was beginning to think I'm the only person that finds any humor here.

Well, I'm at home now and can laugh at cats falling off toilets as much as I want. Just glares from the wife, now!

Yes! Always double check the mute button. And if you're driving you have to check that both the phone and the car are on mute!

Yuh, i gotta be careful at night time. Or I'll wake everyone up.
Don't wake the baby!


And if you do, quickly blame your husband's snoring and put him in charge of rocking the baby back to sleep as penance.

I must be doing R2R the wrong way. What is the bathroom for if not this??

I use R2R for stress and comic relief. My coworkers don’t seem to care. I’m generally eccentric either way.
