Gonna have to be my bedroom window. Has a big ol fan on it. Sometimes if I open the window and let the air blow, makes me feel like a depressed titanic scene.
I want this to be over :(

Which window in your house have you looked out of the most since your lockdown?

I'm working from home, so either the window in my office or the big glass doors leading into the backyard. I often pace between the two like a dog who needs to go for a walk.
Spare bedroom since my office desk is right in front of it. I already worked from home so this has been my view for awhile.
Upstairs bedroom. Kids used to be out playing, people used to be walking their dogs. It's been dead silent since this really kicked off. Maybe I see 2-3 people all day.
Ultra lonely vibes.

My kids are bouncing off the walls and want to go play and see their friends and they can't. Its the worst.
Yeah, of course. We are all trapped in our homes and and unsure of what's going to come.
You aren't actually surprised, right?
My living room looks out onto a beautiful park and the trees are coming into bloom. I get angry about how many people are out and about in it ignoring social distancing though.
The one in my office looks out right at my neighbors roof and some trees, it's nice. I can pretend there's no street and think i'm living in the woods or something
Our spare bedroom turned makeshift office. The view is actually pretty good out the window, to the trees in our back yard and a field beyond that, but I'm on the other side of the room so I've been staring at a blank wall.
Well I mean there's so many memes out there about how this is how introverts always are that I guess it's hard to remember that there are people who actually like going out.

Same. We have "shelter in place" order going into effect today at 5 though, so that'll change starting next week.
It'll probably still be my makeshift office's window though, so bedroom window next to my desk I'd imagine.

I've been a homebody for a very long time, but I'm used to leaving the house once a day. It's driving me insane now.
windows symbolize this idea of a world you can see but not explore and in isolation that symbolism is becoming strangely painful. I feel like where I was once able to say "wow I see that, I could walk to it" now I can't. I just have to look at it.
I open a side curtain in the living room to let light in when I'm working, but I'm not really looking out of it randomly. Dogs get their morning and afternoon walks and get let out a few times a day so I'm not hungry for outside.
The window in what we call the "front room", although it's officially a dining room, but we have never used it as that. My wife has always had a desk in there, but never used it too much until now. Since there isn't a door that can be closed on that room, we moved one of the cat towers in there and opened the blinds and the cats love the sunlight there. We have both been looking out that window pretty frequently now, especially watching/playing with the cats.
The sliding doors to the backyard.
Second would probably be the living room window out to the front yard.
I've gotten to where I peek out at any noise. Stuff I wouldn't have even noticed before is now making me perk up and look out. I guess guess I'm just desperate for any interaction with the outside world.

The one facing all the construction across the street. And the 45 year old aspiring rapper that lives with his mom that blasts his shitty mix tape every time he drives home.
I work and sleep in the master bedroom - it's a big room so I keep my desk there.
This has proven to kind of suck because I spend waaaaaaaay too much time in this room. I don't want to work at the dinner table.
There is a nice view of a pond out the window though.

100%.
I've been taking walks around my neighborhood. I have no symptoms. I haven't kept in contact with people who had or now have symptoms. The neighborhood isn't crowded and I don't get up in other peoples' business when I'm out. I need to step outside to get the mail anyway.
In fact we've also been getting takeout a little bit more often lately as well, but then the wife's been a bit busy sewing up protective masks to give away and I can still do my job from home.
