“My Wife Hates it When I Work From Home” — Banksy Shares Rats Run Amok in his Bathroom from Quarantine

Presumably quarantined like the rest of humanity, Banksy just posted a few images of an artwork executed in his supposed home bathroom. The installation depicts a mischievous pack of his signature rats destroying everything in sight: swinging from towel racks, running on toilet paper, marking the days of quarantine on the wall, and making a disgusting mess of the toilet. The caption accompanying the work on Instagram reads simply, “My wife hates it when I work from home.”

the rat part might have been interesting, but not enough to make me watch. Besides, I had to go brave the grocery store today. That was enough tension for the day.

I went to the a Good Food Store today...thought about you when I went! They are doing such a good job keeping things sanitized and clean. Still, I procrastinated an hour at my desk before steeling myself enough to go in. Some of what I needed was in the bulk section...I took gloves in to be able to dispense the rice and flour etc. makes me so sad.

health food store and their bulk stuff is still in the bins but the grocery I go to had most of their bulk stuff bagged up. The cashiers had plexiglass guards up. And many wore masks. A lot of customers didn't though. And there was some older woman who would stay away from me and she wasn't wearing a mask.

Oh, yes. This husband clearly presents special challenges.

I could accept rats running around my bathroom, and just be glad they weren't in the living room.
But if I were the wife, that dirty toilet part would be allowed to remain just long enough for him to photograph it, then he'd be painting it gone. That day!

Just leaned over and gave my husband a kiss, and now I'll show him what it was for.
