    I find it embarrassing to carry fast food (or any restaurant food that isn’t considered healthy) from my car to my apartment.

    I work from home and my neighbors know that. I don’t get out much and don’t really eat out often either but I don’t want to be the guy that’s seen as carrying tons of premade food back home.

    I know it’s rather silly.

      For what it’s worth, I’m with you.

      I also work from home, and while I generally cook all my own meals and do meal prep at werkends, sometimes I have a bad/stressful week where I cave and get fast food like three lunches in a row.

      I keep a grocery bag in the car and put the fast food in there to hide my shame.

      Oh, same. I cook at home 99% of the time, but sometimes I get a bad week. Lots of overtime, visiting a sick relative every day, something to throw off my schedule.

      Those weeks I’m bringing home fast food almost every day and I probably look like I’ve never even seen a kitchen before.
