Oh Stuart! You say "... a chain smoking agorophobe who lives in abject squalor,
who has terrible personal hygiene and who would be happy to live his life in
his basement apartment" like it was a bad thing.

Subject: atw: Tech writers are the new accountants
This week's episode of TV medical drama House features a recluse who has
unexplained seizures. He suffers from crippling agoraphobia and refuses to
leave his home to be diagnosed and treated. He believes he's OK the way he is
because he can get everything he needs delivered, and you know, *he writes
technical manuals for a living*.
Possibly this guy could get some life coaching from the protagonist of
2003 movie The Technical Writer, "... a chain smoking agorophobe who lives in
abject squallor," who has "terrible personal hygeine" and who "would be happy
to live his life in his basement apartment except for the crazy people who keep
forcing him to respond to their own neurotic desires."
