Living In a Lockdown

Top 10 Things We're All Doing While Under Coronavirus Lockdown


It's funny how with all of our perceived differences, people remain so similar. A massive shared experience like the 2020 lockdown brings to light the things we have in common.

This list is for the specific things we find ourselves doing as a result of being under lockdown that others are doing as well. It's not for the big, obvious, or vague things like "staying at home" or "playing video games".

Vote for what you are also doing during the lockdown or add more of the things you find yourself doing each day that you suspect others are doing as well.


The Top Ten


1 Changing out of our night time pajamas into our daytime pajamas

Nowhere to be, no one to see. Comfort trumps all. - HenchmanNo2

Have you been spying on me?
What a great list, HenchmanNo2.


2 Debating between continuing to sport an overgrown hairstyle and risking cutting our own hair

I would tend to opt for the former I already do that actually. - Powell


3 Asking ourselves, "Am I hungry or bored?"

Get up from the couch. Open the pantry and stare. Open the fridge and stare. Return to the couch empty handed. Repeat every 30 minutes. - HenchmanNo2


4 Only worrying about our appearance from the waist up because that's all that will be seen in video conferencing

Coronavirus Chic: carefully styled hair, clean shaven or made up face, work appropriate shirt or blouse, boxer shorts or flannel pants, and house slippers. - HenchmanNo2


5 Pushing the lower limits of how much toilet paper is required to get the job done

It's all good when a new package of toilet paper is always waiting for you at the local store, but when people start hoarding like the apocalypse is near, people's fear of running out of toiletries actually makes it happen. A classic self-fulfilling prophecy.

Prophecy come true, there is a very real chance that you could have to move on to plan B when it comes to keeping your derriere clean if you are too careless with your supply. No longer are we spinning the roll and collecting the bounty. Now, reeling off the perfect amount of toilet paper is much more measured and scientific. Experimentation and research now dictates how many squares is required. - HenchmanNo2


6 Inventing new cocktails using whatever alcohol is remaining in the house

In today's Iron Bartender challenge our contestants will be provided with the dregs of a novelty flavored pack of vodka mini bottles received as a gift two Christmases ago, a can of diet soda, and some freezer burned ice cream. Let's see what they can come up with. - HenchmanNo2


7 Exploring the dark recesses of the Netflix library

Tiger King, Ozark, and the other popular shows delving into the darker side of humanity are a good start, but how many episodes are you in to I Am a Killer or the deeper cuts like Forensic Files? - HenchmanNo2


8 Thinking of all the home projects we could be doing, and not doing them

All this time and all these potential chores, and yet they remain unfinished. Hard to reconcile all those times we didn't clean the garage, didn't organize our closets, and didn't repaint the walls when we now have more time than we ever wanted and no desire to use it productively. - HenchmanNo2


9 Dusting off old board games, jigsaw puzzles, and coloring books

When you've watched all the TV you can handle, burned yourself out on video games, and don't feel like doing any more household chores, then maybe it's time to return to the classics. Many of us in our youth didn't have all the electronics kids have today, but we got by. Now is a great time to relive those days. - HenchmanNo2
