I work from home, and one of my friends stopped by, saw one of my coworkers (we were in a Zoom meeting) and said “My god that man is da*n handsome.” without realizing we were live. He tured six shades of red and ran to the bathroom My coworker said “I get that a lot in my off time, but never thought I would hear that at work. You know what I mean? I am sure you feel the same.” I nodded thinking “Don’t I wish.”
Since ceiling boxes are usually attached to the joist(s) I can see it holding Hammie and the fan, but what I want to know is Who’s going to flip the switch! Wheeeee!
Sounds like something we would have done. Thankfully Super Glue wasn’t invented when I was a child. My hubby did string rubber bands together and around my stuffed lion’s waist and set him on one of the fan blades. Turned the switch on long enough for the lion to bungee jump off the ceiling fan. And you thought my signing in as CrazeeKatLady was appropriate. Hubby had WAAAAYYYYYY too much time to get up to highjinks around the house while I was at work.
When my dad died in the 1990s our office came home with me to our apartment (husband and mine, not dad and mine) – as I did not want to pay for office rent and mostly go out to clients.
Since my desk in our home office is the desk my parents bought me when I was in 3rd grade it is not something for clients to see – plus it is in the middle sized bedroom in a house with small rooms – when I had clients come in I would meet with them in the dining room (decorated in colonial revival as a tavern room).
Biggest problem with this was the year the garage door froze to the ground. First, I am Jewish as were most of my clients, but my husband was not. We could not store away the tree or the ornaments as we could not get into the garage to store them until well into the spring. In March and early April when clients were coming in with tax returns to file the door was still frozen.
Which meant my clients were coming in and seeing a Christmas tree,fully decorated in my living in March and early April and as odd as it was to the Christian clients, it was even more so to the Jewish ones – who knew I was Jewish also. I felt a need to explain to each why the tree was still up.
That summer we had a new garage door installed and a regular door on the side of the garage also so this would hopefully never happen again.

Never heard of this one before. I’d like to see the solution.

My son works from home a lot. Wife forgot and cussed at the child loudly in another room and all his team members heard it!

That Super Glue ought to give way to Clayton’s weight and momentum, right? Physics in action!

Okay. That actually sounds like fun. However, a real “professional” goof would have used duck tape.
