Infographic: You're Not the Only One Watching YouTube at Work

There's a reason work hours are the most trafficked on the web: We spend an awful lot of time at work watching the latest social videos and checking out our friends' Facebook pages.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, as long as you're getting your work done, what does it matter if you watch a little YouTube on the side, right? Sneak in a little Funny or Die here and there? Laughter's good for the soul, after all.

Now, while I believe the 25 percent of those watching videos who say they're watching news clips, I have a hard time believing the 17 percent who say they're watching "company videos." That's an awful lot of company videos, and seems rather unrealistic.

On the other hand, the fact that 3 percent of those who admit to watching videos say they're watching porn means that either 3 percent of those surveyed are incredibly stupid (at least they're watching on their own mobile devices, I suppose), or that 3 percent of those who responded work in the porn industry. Or, alternately, that 97 percent of those who admitted to watching are lying about what they watch.

I don't really know what to say about the 4 percent who say they're watching full-length feature films. Who has that kind of spare time? Maybe if they're working security. In which case, I don't want to spend time in whatever building there in, because it's probably not that safe if they're spending all their time watching movies.

I love that 42 percent of those watching vids at work go to the bathroom to hide it. I suppose that if you spend a little too much time in the ... facilities, you don't get a lot of questions. People just don't wanna know why you just spent 25 minutes in the john, you know?

And, finally, the fact that just 64 percent of Americans admit to watching online videos while at work means that at least 35 percent are liars. Just sayin'.
