26 minutes a day is not by any means a rounding error.

  There are 1,440 minutes or 24 hours in a day. Let's be realistic and generous and consider 16 "useful" hours by assuming 8 hours of sleep, that's 960 minutes. 26 / 960 = 0.027, or approximately 3%; 26 minutes is 3% of one's "useful" day. There is also no standard duration defined for "hanging out", it could be just a few minutes at the water cooler, hours at a restaurant, or days or even weeks on a vacation trip. 3% is a rounding error.

    Neither realistic nor generous; you haven't accounted for working, commuting, personal hygeine, cleaning the house, laundry, grocery shopping, errands, etc. etc. I think if I absolutely ignored the need for rest I could get in 32 hours of social time a week, and in my actual life it's around 12-14 hours, so three hours a week is a huge difference.

      Aside from work and personal hygiene, why are you implying hanging out is mutually exclusive with those activities? Inviting friends to go shopping or do errands with you is a common way of socializing, among others. Commuting is also an opportunity to socialize if you take public transport or carpool and a friend or co-worker catches the same one as you. Socializing is tangent to a lot of activities.
