    I haven't left this house since I came home from work on Friday evening at 5. I've done nothing but watch TV and eat.

    Probably 4 days when I was sick. More than that and I get cabin fever.

    I don't want to turn into little Edie from grey gardens who rarely left her **** covered, raccoon infested mansion in the hamptons. When the next owner was cleaning the house they only found the remain of 54 dead cats.

    It's a pity Aung San Suu Kyi isn't on Boards.

    She'd win this competition by a long shot.

    I did it once where I came home from work on the Friday, by Sunday morning I had cabin fever and went out!

    I suck at relaxing.

    Wasn´t that the reason she stayed indoors?

    Nine weeks. Then I went for a walk on my own late one night and then didn't go out again for six weeks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    I have not left my house in 14 years.

    I live in an apartment.

    4 days once when I was sick. Felt really weird stepping out into the real world again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Dwork


    I suppose "about 12 hours" isn't really gonna cut it around here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Dwork


    Probably 3 or 4 weeks.
    On the lam?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,450 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!

    Three days a couple of weeks ago...pretty convinced I was close to insane by the last one. Felt like a complete weirdo when I rejoined the outside world


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,500 ✭✭✭ReacherCreature


    I'd say Thursday. I went out earlier for 15 minutes. That's a bit of a record, being in the house that long. No job, finished college, I'm going stir crazy. I remember during study week in college I stayed in for about three days. Had to go for a walk to break the monotony.

    Can't believe it took 18 months for the council to fit a ramp on the nuclear steps!

    Id say Julian Assange will be giving her a run for her money.

    Years ago I worked and lived in Munich. I was sharing an apartment with another lad I worked with. We lived on the 3rd floor and I arrived home on Thursday evening of a long weekend. I wasn't due back at work till Tuesday. I went out Thursday nite and got stupid drink and lost my keys but my mate was home and so let me into the apartment that night but when he got up the next morning to go to work and then head away that evening for the weekend he forgot I had no keys and locked me in! We had no phone and this was 1989 so no mobiles etc. I tried to get the attention of sine people on the street but no one spoke English and my German was limited so I checked the fridge and cupboards and we had plenty of food so I watched ****e German tv and a few videos until Monday night when my mate arrived back.
