This is a valid point, the down side is I have to pay for the toilet paper and water myself.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Are you that cheap?

Don't you get bored of masturbating in the same toilet everyday?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

Disagree, it means I have to fight with my partner for use of the toilet and she is somehow always in the bathroom

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Fuq yeah! I have a fancy Japanese bum-washer, it's far better than anything in an office, and you don't have to worry about what sounds or smells you make.

I'm in shambles any time I have to shit without a bidet

Americans are disgusting pigs running around with doodoo asses

I can only imagine. Can you image working in construction? No break room. Nowhere to sit for lunch. Eight porta potties for two hundred workers, sitting in the direct sun on a code red day. Dude that cleans them is puking.

When I got higher up, and got access to an entire building, I'd find an empty floor and use those bathrooms. Pure luxury.

I think my butt would get sore if I used the toilet all day long but its definitely better than doing it at work

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

I'm doing so right now.

I've never been able to work from home. But cool I guess?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

It really is. After 11 years of remote work I would never go back to an office. I also understand we can't all work remote. I was an automotive and industrial painter for most of my pre-IT career and that would have been rather difficult to do over the internet :p

And access to my own stove and fridge when I declare lunchtime results in the best lunches I've ever had, be it steak, 500g of bacon, or just an egg.

And getting to arbitrarily declare lunchtime...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

I like having access to my kitchen for lunch. Im less tempted to go out to eat when i can make something tasty and usually better than fast food

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

If you can smell it, a little piece is inside you.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago

Yes and I can use it as often as I want without guilt.

That and I can play music and videos with bothering anyone as background noise.

Actually the best benefit is being able to hang around my cat.

And husband, it's nice to see him too I guess.

I got a bidet on my toilet. 'nuf said.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago

The toilets in my office are maintained by dedicated staff. The ones in my home are occasionally paid attention to by distracted volunteers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

I only shit on company time on principle.

Using my own toilet to drop a log just feels wrong.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 17 hours ago

I also eat healthier and tastier. I can do dishes, laundry, and clean here and there. I am MORE productive. I don't have to commute. But my boss is a Conservative Gen-Xer who believes working from home is the devil.

I mean im not the type like my wife who will hold it to not use an outside toilet but I have to agree. I would say access to your fridge is equally useful though. Its just way more convenient overall. Sill not having the commute is tops. I generally had to give myself an hour on leaving to make sure I would arrive ontime and for whatever reason traffic always seems worse in the evening. So like 10 hours incinerated with travel per week. Then like the additional getting ready is like 30mins so thats another 2.5 and that fridge thing means you can eat without going out but you don't have to pack a lunch. going to give that another .5. All the incidentals from walking my dog to being able to catch a 30min show at lunch im going to say its worth at least 2 more. Its easy to see its worth 25% on the low side and 30% on the high side (with the caveat that a job is useless if it can't meet your bills).
