The embarrassment/hilarity of having to interrupt work calls because your three year old tells you loudly he needs a poo, and he doesn't want daddy to wipe his bum

Everyone else thinks as you’re at home you can chat on the phone for hours/ drop and pick them up everywhere/have all their parcels delivered to you so that you’re up and down all day/pop in randomly for coffee/lunch/chats.

I personally found it really hard to separate work and home life when I was working from home. All my relaxing spaces were taken up with work stuff and I felt like I was always in the office

Yes this 100%! They also expect that you can just do the laundry/ dishwasher/ cook dinner / look for that thing they lost while you're working. Yeah. Fuck off!!

Nobody walks up to you at your desk or by the kettle for a natter. You are very much in your own head.

My change of activity break is to sort washing or put dishes to soak.

You don’t work from home …. You live at work!

But I have to say in my case it’s far more productive and I quite enjoy being at home. At least I get to work 8:30 to 5:15 instead of silly o’clock hours

I love working from home. I arrive at my desk full of the joys of spring instead of bruised and battered after a two hour commute across London.

I'm not a social person, happy on my own so no problems there.

Being in an actual office 5 days a week saves a fortune on gas and electric. Boiling a kettle 6 or 7 times a day soon racks up.

Working from home has allowed me to be flexible with my hours, not stuck on a train in the morning or evening, can attend social events or do something else.

I spend a huge amount of time in bloody pointless meetings. If I was in the office someone would probably ask in passing "anything for X meeting?", but since I'm at home and they want me to feel included I now have to attend them all.

Thankfully I can mess around online and still look engaged. It's a skill.

Using my own utilities and stationery sucks, and not having fixed boundaries between work life and home life is also not great.

Same here, luckily with Teams I dont have to have camera and sound on so I can listen to music and continue working. If you get the tax back thingy from HMRC you should be able to recover stationery costs.

I have claimed but I just find post-its stick better when they're pilfered. Stealing my own stationery just takes a bit of the joy out of it.

The inability to down tools and stop work. Eating 3 meals a day at your desk and generally putting the company before your life.

I miss aircon in the office on very hot days and an office crush who just made your day a little brighter. Occasionally saying "screw the budget" and going out for lunch.
