Hilarious TikTok shows man continue his work call – after falling into the pool

Working from home has its benefits, but repetitive Zooming and work calls can easily become monotonous. One man, however, unintentionally shook up his day by accidentally falling in the pool mid-conference.

Naturally, the hilarious footage was a viral hit on TikTok after it was shared on the platform by @fjerry.

Captioned “He was way too smooth with that one,” the clip shows the man on a phone call – with one hand holding the phone to his ear and the other in his pocket.

He is shown pondering around the edge of the pool, but in an unfortunate turn of events, he slips and tumbles into the pool.

The dad’s dedication to continue working was certainly admirable, as his cartwheel-esque manuveur saved him from face-planting the water.

“He said I don’t care if I’m hurt; I’m getting the bag first,” one user joked as he continued the phone call at the side of the pool.
