Imallrightjack

i saw someone start a thread once and not bother their arse giving an example of the topic they started the thread on.

Ubbquittious

One I done myself was turning a deep fat fryer up to 90 degrees and putting some eggs in it to save me the bother of grabbing a pan and filling it with water to boil them in instead

The_Valeyard

Seen a lad walk his dog while sitting in the car driving slowly in the hard shoulder.

Robsweezie

Rubberlegs

queueeye

Not bothering to check spelling or grammar.

tracey turnblad

I regularly pick things up with with my feet or get the kids to pick it up... I hate bending

Me parking at the opposite of Boots in Omni, googling the opening times instead of just getting out and have a look if it's already open.

I was hoping someone would see the irony

Lorelli!

Had a boss before that asked me to pass them over some paper work and I was looking around wondering where it was. It was on their desk and closer to them than it was to me! I remember awkwardly nudging it over across the desk

When I was about 3 or 4, if I was going on a walk, I'd get to a stage where I'd start complaining. My dad said that I'd say "I'm too tired, carry me" and he'd say "you carry me". Then I'd whinge "but you're too heavy"

Throw dirty plates in the bin rather than washing them

Belle E. Flops

In my college days the TV remote disappeared , so for a good 5 or 6 months we changed channel by poking the buttons on the TV with the sweeping brush, could not be arsed getting up off the couch.

Too lazy to make up a decent excuse, eh? :pac:

McMurphy

Cry their lamps out whinging about their legs burning cos they were sitting so close to the fire.

tedpan

Watching my mate do nothing around the house. He's totally oblivious to mess.

Oh and not learning to spell laziest.

King of Kings

somebody today a grown man of 39 rang the AA to change his flat tire.

Downloaded an app for my TV so I wouldn't have to get up and get the remote.

greenflash

Every time I leave the house I see hundreds of bastards who are too lazy to move one finger two inches to use the indicators in their cars.

osarusan

Couldn't be bothered folding up my kid's buggy to get it to fit on the bus, so just left it there and got another off the council.

lazybones32

There was a girl in the same year as me who was like a sloth. A joke was told one morning and everyone was laughing but her: she found it funny but couldn't be bothered to laugh.

Knew a guy that used buy new socks and jocks rather than wash dirty ones.

TheRiverman

Saw a guy using a ride on mower on a lawn that could be cut with a push mower in ten minutes max.

I do this too, and tell the kids they are closer to the ground than I am. That excuse is backfiring me on me now with a lanky teenager!

People who park right outside the front door of lidl. Blocking up the whole place to save walking 30 yards

When I was a student, I lived in a 5th storey walk-up with no laundry machine. Had 6 sets of bedsheets as I dreaded going to the laundromat 5 blocks away. The bi-weekly clothes wash was done on cold, whites and colors mixed together. The sheets would pile up until 6 months later (yes, I was that scummy! But justified it by telling myself if I showered at night, my sheets stayed "fresh" longer) when I would begrudgingly pack all 6 sets into my mountaineering backpack and stagger my way to the wash. Laugh away, but the most romantic gift I've ever gotten was a washing machine!

Belle E. Flops

I've just remembered, I know someone who when they moved out of home kept buying new underwear on a weekly basis ...every night they would throw their underwear in the bin after wearing it rather than having to bother washing and drying it. Mad.

I never did understand how that was any more effort than washing and drying their other clothes but anyway.

Then you park about a mile away in an empty spot with no cars near you to save idiots smashing your door in, and you come back out and someone parked beside you.

my new bedsit studio is so small i can now open the fridge with an umbrella and hook a six pack of carlsberg...without getting out of bed.

I was once on a US military ship, having breakfast in the wardroom (officers lounge) when the Operations Officer (OPS) walks in. This guy was the definition of NOT a morning person; he's still half asleep, bleary eyed... basically a zombie with a bagel. He sits down across from me to eat his bagel and is just barely conscious. My back is to the outboard side of the ship, and the morning sun is blazing in one of the portholes putting a big bright-ass circle of light right on his barely conscious face. He's squinting and chewing and basically just remembering how to be alive for today. It's painful to watch.

But then zombie-OPS stops chewing, slowly picks up the phone, and dials the bridge. In his well-known I'm-still-totally-asleep voice, he says "heeeey. It's OPS. Could you... shift our barpat... yeah, one six five. Thanks." And puts the phone down. And then he just sits there. Squinting. Waiting.

And then, ever so slowly, I realize that that big blazing spot of sun has begun to slide off the zombie's face and onto the wall behind him. After a moment it clears his face and he blinks slowly a few times and the brilliant beauty of what I've just witnessed begins to overwhelm me. By ordering the bridge to adjust the ship's back-and-forth patrol by about 15 degrees, he's changed our course just enough to reposition the sun off of his face. He's literally just redirected thousands of tons of steel and hundreds of people so that he could get the sun out of his eyes while he eats his bagel. I am in awe.

He slowly picks up his bagel and for a moment I'm terrified at the thought that his own genius may escape him, that he may never appreciate the epic brilliance of his laziness (since he's not going to wake up for another hour). But between his next bites he pauses, looks at me, and gives me the faintest, sly grin, before returning to gnaw slowly on his zombie bagel.

Gotta respect the fact that, by C&Ping that story, partyjungle is very much acting in the spirit of this thread!

You wanna talk about lazy? Meet my next door neighbour. When him and his wife are walking back from town it's absolutely bucketing down with rain. She holds the umbrella over his head with her right hand and carries the groceries in her left. His left hand meanwhile is wedged into his pocket while he smokes a fag with his right.

When they happen to be driving home, and when I say "they" I mean "she", she gets out of the car first to leave your man in home. She then returns to the car to carry in the shopping by herself.

One day he got locked out in his front garden so he knocks on my door and says his kitchen is open, would I mind letting him through so he could get over the boundary wall. No problem, I lead him through to my back garden. The wall is very high so I tell him to wait while I fetch a ladder. I come back with the step ladder and hand it to him. "Jesus Christ" he replies, "how the hell do you work that thing?" :rolleyes:

Lad I know, was in his house. Put one cup in a dish washer to clean it, so he could use it . One cup. I couldn't believe my eyes. Started moaning about how it long it was taking.

I was parked on the street in Athlone one evening, when a rather large lady, resembling the gentleman in post #37 above, came lumbering down the street opened her car door and sat into the drivers seat. Because her car was now lower to the ground on the driver's side, the driver's door couldn't close because it was jammed against the footpath..

so rather than get out and move the car she called over a doorman of a pub and got him to force the door closed, scrapping it against the concrete footpath as he shoved it with his shoulder.

Maybe it was a combination of laziness and stupidity now that I think of it

I know someone who lived in a bedsit so small, he said he had to pull his trousers down and reverse into the bathroom to take a crap.

How could she have gotten out and moved the car? Also, how did she get out originally?

For years i lived opposite to my mother in law. She used to drive across the road to visit us.

My wifes friend took a taxi from one pub to another pub less than 2 minutes walk away.

These stories will all be in the prequel to wallE

Not so much laziness but laziness through snobbiness.
Gf told me of teen whose parents owned a hotel. Said teen would call over a waiter to fill his glass with water.

I did think of this at the time, maybe she was taking the car home for a friend.. I witnessed the whole thing as we were parked right behind her, anyways
