Indeed. Probably a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on the vehicle too.
For me, one great thing about working from home for about six years now is how little mileage we've put on our cars and how little money we've spent on fuel.

I will fire up my heater that burns used oil thinking about you today.

It's a thing in north America. Any working day, there are lines for drive thru coffee.
I am flabbergasted by this. You are wasting time and money waiting for something you could prepare yourself cheaper and faster.

If you call this unhinged, you'll run out of words to describe mass murderers.

Back during the pandemic I made a couple of bicycle laps in my local park as a commute between my bedroom and my study before I started working, and a couple of bicycle laps the other way around when I finished working.
It was fantastic to have a mental break between work and not-work, and I didn't fall into the trap of working an extra hour because I have an hour fewer of commuting.
He leaves the house, gets in his vehicle, drives to get coffee and then to the office ... that happens to be home ... but goes into the office off the garage.
Same trip back every day.
He says that ritual is a big deal for him.
