Are you trapped in a meeting with someone recounting their life story? Do you feel your sanity slipping away with each passing minute? Fear not, friend!
1. Pretend You Have a Cold: A classic! When asked if you can hear them, respond with a sniffle and a cough, and the presenter will mercifully move on.
2. Secretly Text Your Friend: Discreetly text your best friend in the meeting to send them a "help me" message. They might just send you some much-needed motivation or a funny GIF to get through the ordeal.
3. Plan Your Escape: Study the exits, count down the minutes until the meeting ends, and plot your swift departure. It's all about timing and strategy!
4. Nap In Your Desk Chair: When all else fails, just lean back and close your eyes. You might just find yourself in a deep, refreshing slumber, or at least a nice, short catnap.
Remember, friends, these tactics won't save you from the existential dread of another meeting, but they'll get you through it, somehow!
