The ability to hug family and friends is top of the list of what the nation is looking forward to once lockdown ends.
Two thirds are missing physical contact above all else, with going to the pub or on holiday joint second.
And one in five of the new army of home workers revealed seeing colleagues again is a high priority.
According to a study by insurer Ageas, despite the chance of a later start and more time to pursue hobbies, it is the office buzz and gossip that has left millions yearning to get back to the workplace.
The study also found, even though there is no commute to worry about, a third are starting work earlier while more than a quarter are using their travelling time to exercise.
A quarter have used the extra hours to take up a new hobby or skill but most said they wished they could spend that time with loved ones.
And the poll of 2,000 adults revealed once lockdown was over, half would appreciate the outdoors more, a third said they would value supermarket staff and delivery drivers and a quarter pledged to be kinder.
