I need to concentrate and can get work done without the distractions I'm surprised that this one has so many down votes. I use it frequently and for me is one

  I think it's broken and shows that one for everyone in a repeating loop resulting in people furiously downvoting it. That's what's happening for me at least.

  We have a pretty liberal WFH policy (well, as liberal as it can be when the expectation is that you come in unless you have a "good" reason). The reason I said this wouldn't fly is that it's very much like a "because I want to" type of answer. It's almost certainly true, but it's not that much better than me telling my boss that I want to WFH so I don't have to answer my desk phone. I will get more things of value done, but it's also my job to answer the phone when it rings.

    But it's a phone, so forward the number and take it on your phone, or switch it to a mobile line. Yes this is very much a "because I want to" answer, but I think looking for reasons to work from home is the wrong way to think of this issue. We shouldn't have to and it should be the default, because I (and I'm sure many others) can't think of a single reason I need to be in the office to get my job done and still be in contact. I think the 8-12 hour workday is societal conditioning that's going to take a very long time to break.

  The post links to that exact quote, so everybody clicks "this won't fly" to get another quote. OP should have removed "?quoteId=132" from the URL or the author should have used a system for not changing the URL (e.g. POST, reloading or AJAX).
