Someone suggested escaping lockdown by sleeping in the guest room – 9 hilariously scathing reactions
As the UK confirms the lockdown is to continue, here – as across the world – a lot of people are frustrated at the limitations of lockdown life.
An article in the Washington Post had a suggestion for shaking things up a little.
The key to escaping lockdown? Sleep in your guest room and pretend it’s a trip. https://t.co/NXvGbpfAT2

Obvious, when you think about it. Why not just move from one empty room to another and pretend you’re on a world tour?
As you might imagine, the idea went down like Priti Patel at a Mathematics convention, and we particularly enjoyed these reactions.

I sleep in the maid’s quarters and the baby sleeps in the East turret and my husband sleeps in the apiary with all our cockatiels! It’s so fun! Honey, if you’re reading this can you bring my summer tweeds across the moat from the hunting chalet? https://t.co/qwNwPZjpVD

GUEST ROOM? What are we, too poor to have a POOL HOUSE?

This is a bad pitch since many people don’t have a guest room. However I have moved into the crawl space under my house and am pretending to be a creepy murderer stalking my own family, inches away as they go about their business, and I gotta be honest, it’s a fucking KICK. https://t.co/gQKAGGXrH0

Pat K summed it up rather well.
It's amazing how this pandemic has become rich people shouting at poor people for leaving their homes while they sip cocktails in their "guest rooms".
