Many people in the US have found themselves self-quarantined and working completely from home in light of coronavirus...which has left a lot of couples suddenly spending a lot more time with each other.

Husband starts working from home tomorrow. He stopped at the market on the way home today, so he could pick up a few things to have in the house. Reader, he came home with 7lbs of Cadbury Mini Eggs.

Me: (an introvert that works from home) Welcome to my sanctuary, my love! My wife (an extrovert working from home for the first time): I will escape your prison and defeat you, you scumbag.
