Agree on all points in the article.

One of the most underrated features of WFH is my own private bathroom. This is something I would never have at the office.

Personalized climate control; a useful (clean and fully equipped) kitchen, with private storage...

There are all kinds of features, with varying value to everyone and that people insist on ignoring.

I'd chip in doing laundry or dishes whilst on a boring call I'm forced to attend. Just don't forget to mute the mike on the headset.

That's definitely a big upside. Things like dishes and laundry are great background tasks. Doesn't take long to set up, then a machine handles the rest, swap out the laundry and keep going. Barely interrupts my day job, and the impetus to get out of my chair is welcome anyway.

As someone who had bell/chili pepper family triggered IBS for 6 years without knowing the cause. This 100%.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time...Love to have someone else clean up the empty bathrooms at work every day or so; shame that job was almost two hours away for the 2 days a week I had to go.

I can settle for a public bathroom, but surely we have the technology to construct walls without significant gaps. Spend the one-time extra investment so that I can pretend I have some privacy.

Especially considering that many people tend to get their BMs around the same time, after coffee or a meal.
