I'm glad you work remote because to be candid you sound like a miserable person to be stuck in an office with.
It's like being taken hostage with people who are pretending to like it. Meanwhile some of them have personal lives so bad or they're so afraid of being alone that they genuinely do like it.
I think your comment is an example of why lots of people prefer to work remotely: the 'enforced fun' of it all.
Why is it a problem for you that they don't enjoy eating in canteens? Why does working with you mean signing up to be your best friend?

What a leap of judgement
How much extra do you get paid to drink the corporate koolaid? I ask this because some of the most miserable people I know were the kind of people that were all-in on serving the corporation at all costs only for it to burn through everything else in their life, especially when they get laid off.
Nothing they said suggested they'd be disruptive.
If someone does their work properly, and you're upset at their lack of sociability, you're the problem.
Do miserable people not deserve to make a living? Companies should be able to accommodate their disabilities by making sure they are not around others who may be affected by their presence.
People who feel they need to enjoy the company of their co-workers in any way are the insufferable ones. Do you need something work related from me? Great! I can probably help. Otherwise leave me the fuck alone. Why? Because dealing with the weird, annoying reactions of the 99.999999999% of the population I do not get on with becomes very tiresome very quickly.
This right here is the crux of the argument.
WFH people want to do work, take meetings, and just overall get things done. Sure they also want to be at home so they can use a 15 min break between meetings to start laundry.
RTO people want to do work, take meetings, and overall get things done while there are others around them working. RTO people need other people around them constantly.
This is the conflict. WFHers are happy without forcing RTOers to work in the same manner. RTOers are only happy when they force WFHers into the office.
WFHers want to be left alone to do their jobs. RTOers need others to be around them to do their job.
