29 Tweets About The Highs And Lows Of Working From Home With A Partner

As cohabiting couples will tell you, working from home together has its upsides and its downsides.

Sure, its fun to have an impromptu mid-morning coffee date at the kitchen table or eavesdrop on their tense phone calls with colleagues. Whats not so fun is when your partners obnoxiously loud typing makes it impossible for you to concentrate. Or when you make a surprise half-naked cameo during your S.O.s Zoom meeting after being assured their camera was off.

Below, weve rounded up 29 comical tweets about sharing a home and an office with your partner.

If you've spent the last year working from home with a partner, overhearing their meetings etc, you are now legally entitled to work and practice in whatever their profession is. You completed your apprenticeship. Congrats.
