Word of the man’s valiant effort quickly spread around his office, with many of his colleagues paying tribute to his selfless act of silence.

“At any point he could have asked a question or made a suggestion, which would have dragged the meeting on for fucking ages,” said one colleague who witnessed the courageous action first hand.

“But no – this wonderful, altruistic humanitarian bravely said nothing in the hope that the meeting would be over sooner rather than later and our suffering would be brought to an end.”

“It’s really nothing” said the man, who modestly wishes to remain anonymous.

“Earlier that day I considered suggesting that the meeting wasn’t even necessary at all – it could easily have been done with a brief exchange of emails – but this time I kept quiet. I just wanted a few hours away from my desk to slowly enjoy a bag of Maltesers.”
