ATTENDING an online seminar is a fantastic opportunity to get stuff done while some arsehole is droning on about bullshit, research has found.

The Institute of Studies discovered that online presentations serve as prime time for attendees to tackle chores like hanging laundry, brushing the dog, and deep-cleaning the grout. Apparently, the less engaged in work, the more productive people become in their personal tasks.

Professor Henry Brubaker noted, "It's a basic human urge to f**k about doing stuff when someone is talking, especially if they’re talking about work." He humorously added that this is often the most productive hour in an employee's day, albeit not in the way employers would hope.

Hybrid worker Joshua Hudson shared his experience, saying, "I did all the paperwork for my recent house move during a webinar about data-centred analysis of retail park footfall in the West Midlands. It’s saved me hours I can now spend drinking alone." He jokingly mentioned that if he ever had to turn on his camera, he’d leave the company.

Even the hosts are in on the act, with Oliver O’Connor admitting, "I know nobody’s listening. I pop on a recording of myself back from when I still had hope and get on with weeding the garden."
