US Senator Andrew Brenner from Ohio took part in a government videoconference to consider a bill to ban the use of mobile phones while driving. At the same time, he himself was driving at this time.
As reported JellyfishTo hide this fact from his colleagues, Brenner turned on the “home” background, which still did not allow him to hide the buildings flickering in the frame from attention.
The participants in the meeting did not comment on their colleague’s behavior in any way.
The senator later explained that he had two meetings scheduled in different locations that day, and as an excuse, he said he was “not distracted.”
He also noted that he receives numerous calls while on the road.
“These were mostly phone calls, and during the video calls, I did not pay attention to the video,” he said, adding that most of the conference was in a parked car.
This life hack is not new; videos appeared on the TikTok social network when drivers used a chroma key to participate in conferences.
This is not the first time an incident has happened during a video conference.
Formerly a lawyer Rod Ponton appeared at the online court hearing in the form of a cat.
And the doctor Scott Greene joined the court session on his case while in the operating room.
It is worth noting that European colleagues also sin like this, so recently one of the Estonian MPs appeared before parliament. lying on the bed, smoking an electronic cigarette and listening to music.
