Working from home with your partner during a pandemic is both a blessing and a curse.
On the upside, you get to eat lunch together , canoodle near the coffeemaker without getting a call from human resources and see what your boo looks like when theyre in work mode.
On the other hand, you also have to put up with your partners annoying habits (incessant throat-clearing, anyone?) while youre trying to work, fight for the quiet spot in the house and avoid getting caught doing something embarrassing in the background of their Zoom meetings .
Below, weve rounded up 23 hilarious and accurate tweets about what its really like to WFH alongside your S.O. day after day.

Spouse who worked from home before quarantine: EVERYONE GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE
Pro-tip for couples suddenly working from home together: Get yourselves an imaginary coworker to blame things on. In our apartment, Cheryl keeps leaving her dirty water cups all over the place and we really don't know what to do about her.

Time to alert HR.

Me: Trying not to aggravate my wife in my 4th month of working from home.
Boss: Okay Ill check again with you next week.
The worst part of working from home is having my wife hear all the work jargon I use. I told someone I'd be "out of pocket this afternoon." She asked me what that meant and I told her I literally have no idea.

Me: I might be working from home, but I'm keeping things professional.
— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) March 19, 2020
Wife: Can we have this conversation outside of the blanket fort?
Me: No.
Now that my boyfriend is working from home I've asked we liven things up by pretending we're having an office affair. Gonna put the cat in a little shirt and tie so we can abruptly stop kissing when he walks in and look guilty.

working from home with ur partner is basically not speaking for 7 hours and then shouting, "we could preserve lemons" across the apartment at 4:15 PM

Coughed and the wife, also working from home, broke out the tape measure to make sure I was six feet away.

Me and my boyfriend, not about #coronavirus but about working from home together.
My husband and I are both working from home and he's just sent round a memo about a total ban on office relationships.
— Laura Lexx (@lauralexx) March 19, 2020
My husband has been working from home for 6 weeks. I've learned that he basically gets paid to be in meetings. Speak in meetings, meet with other people about their last meeting, and have meetings to plan for the next meeting.

I'm upstairs on my laptop.

My wife is downstairs with the kids.
She's texting me a rolling list of who's grounded.
Working from home is going well.
Zak and I have been working from home in the same house for like three years so please reach out to him if you need advice on how to ignore your far-too-talkative partner/roommate/kid

at the office, I sometimes forget to eat lunch until pretty late in the afternoon. this has not been a problem while working from home, because thanks to my husband the house smells like pizza rolls at 11:45 AM and my brain is consumed with thoughts of PIZZA ROLLS
— Katie Tiedrich (@katietiedrich) April 10, 2020
Just went to reheat my full cup of coffee, and found a frozen burrito in the microwave that neither my husband or I recall putting in there. So yes, working from home with the kids during a global pandemic is going great. Thanks for asking.
