An HVAC repairman took to X to exclaim his incredulity at people who never do much other than leave home. He apparently finds it sad and shocking.
I go into a lot of homes each week. You guys would be surprised at how many people just sit in their house. That’s it. That’s their life.

I probably fall into this category, honestly. I work from home. We are blessed to have a beautiful lake in our backyard and I love to look at it. I do leave to go to church and go out with family and friends occasionally, but I mostly love being in my home. It's too expensive to go out of my home. I am only slightly kidding.
I read a lot of posts on social media each week. You guys would be surprised at how many people just post on social media.

I guess he's ok with that as long as you go out of your house to post.
Unless you’re breaking into people’s homes, I’m pretty sure they’re there because they agreed with you to be available at a specific time https://t.co/icLPNGnyhW pic.twitter.com/C8Wj4hinfu

Fair point. If people are having HVAC issues, they want to be there and get it fixed.
when i was lightly homeless and staying w a series of underemployed friends i noticed that in general if someone has no pressing reason to leave the house they stay home until around 3pm https://t.co/tozIiYkBVu

Shoot, I'll stay home all day.
Now we’ve got a guy who thinks it’s weird that people are home when he comes over https://t.co/fyESoPhGS0

I do stand-up comedy. You guys would be surprised at how many people just go to comedy clubs, order a minimum of 2 drinks and heckle comedians. That’s it. That’s their life. https://t.co/DsMfegj6Yl

That takes too much effort.
I'm an ambulance driver. You guys would be suprised by how many people just writhe on the floor in pain. That's it. That's their life. https://t.co/viiUEnWlp3

My son is a Firefighter/Medic. You'd be surprised how many people don't know they're pregnant and think they are just having weird stomach pains or how many people call 911 for a sore toe.

I have a great wife, great kids, great job, fulfilling life. Guess what I’m doing when the HVAC person, like yourself, comes to my house? I’m sitting … in my house … waiting for the HVAC person to finish the work. https://t.co/ktg7lia9T8

My favorite people live in my house on on property near my house. Why do I need to leave?

This is it. Home is my hobby.

And the lights, air, TV, cable, wifi, and groceries in the refrigerator. No one has money for outside in this economy.
My house has everything I need: my stuff, my snacks, and no small talk. It's not a prison, it's a highly customized fortress of solitude.

It's a beautiful thing.
