On the fourth day of telecommuting, I realized that clothes are totally unnecessary.

Framed as a deadpan “day four” epiphany, the line satirizes how quickly social norms tied to the workplace—especially dress codes—evaporate when work moves into the home. The humor depends on exaggeration: telecommuting doesn’t literally make clothing unnecessary, but it does reduce the public, performative aspect of professional life to a camera frame (or no camera at all). In that sense, the quote pokes at the thinness of many office conventions and the way remote work can collapse boundaries between private comfort and public persona. It also fits Adams’s broader comedic interest in workplace absurdities and the gap between what organizations require and what actually matters.
