@sinituulia Am I the only one that isn't at all surprised at this? And this is only because I've been out there. I've seen these people. I've even worked with some of them.
It is exactly for this reason that I work from home, do all of my shopping online and generally only leave the house to walk the dogs.
If I have to leave the house for any other reason, I firstly check to see if I'm going to meet generally like minded people. If not, I'm not going.
I am in my bubble and I'm not coming out.
@fuzzyface Well, I'm sure glad it's not a thing here. If a student is, let's say, too busy in the morning to properly have a nice cup of coffee or tea... They'll just drop by the school or university cafeteria or some automat in a hallway to get it when they're already there, and have done all the prerequisite steps. Pretty much any workplace in Finland will also have either vending machines or hot beverages available. Often they're also free.
I cannot fathom the idea of driving somewhere and then driving back home to finish getting ready, and only then (probably) drive where you actually need to be going. Absolutely unreasonable, that's so many more times the effort, not even counting the energy use in gas or electricity to move the car!
I like going outside, but it's simply so much effort compared to just staying in, too.
