There are of course those who are supposed to be at a job, from time to time, or take care of relatives or friends, or even animals, and have to balance their time. It does make flying much more difficult, yes, because indeed at the airfield I feel looked at (by some) as a foreigner, almost an intruder.
Meaning: it is all too easy to say "spend your time at the airfield" - the more so if one lives a one-hour ride distant. Nice for those who can, of course.
