What's the laziest thing you've ever seen or did?

    Laziness...

    Sometimes, it treads a thin line between actually being lazy, and being smart?

    I remember in my parents house, going back a few years now, it was Christmas evening, and me and my brother were stretched out, him on the couch and me on a chair...

    It was probably a few hours after our Christmas dinner, our parents had gone out to visit family, leaving us pair to digest Christmas dinner, and watch the usual crap on telly at Christmas time.

    I think it was Only fools and horses that was on the tv at the time, but anyways, the room was dark, and neither of us knew where the tv remote was, my brother was telling me to get up and change the channel, and I was telling him to get up and do it. This went on for around ten minutes, with neither of us budging from our resting positions!

    Suddenly the brother lifted the phone from the table he was lying beside, punched in a few numbers, and then I heard him talk to his best mate 'Ghostie'!

    My brother then had a brief converstion with Ghostie, and it finished with him telling Ghostie to call down to the house if he had nothing better to do!

    Ghostie arrives, twenty minutes or so later in his little car (he lives approx three miles away) , walks through the kitchen into the living room, and almost as soon as he entered the room, the brother shouts at him, 'change the channel on the auld tv there Ghostie, saying as yer on yer feet'

    We settled for Die Hard 2 in the end! ;)

    Complete using, lazy bastardo!


    Anyone any tales, of sheer laziness?

    Someone asked a fella in Cork for directions once.
    He was leaning up against the wall with his hands in his pockets teamster style.

    He proceeded to give directions but maintained his comfortable postion by using his foot to point out the directions.

    Got beer delivered to the gaff when there is an offie 50 yards from my gaff.


    Kicker was, when the delivery guy arrived i was on the top floor of the house so i had to go down 3 flights of stairs to open the door. When i opened it the delivery guy asked for ID which of course i left up in my room which meant 3 flights of stairs up and 3 flights of stairs down again...waaay more than 50 yards!!

    I was in the mood to watch a film. So instead of getting up and putting the dvd into the dvd player. I just downloaded it and watched it on my computer :cool:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,482 ✭✭✭Kidchameleon


    Friend of mine regularly orders a delivery from her local Chinese takeaway. Thing is, the take away is about 30 seconds walk from her house!

    Stay watching something rubbish on tv because the remote is too far away to change the channel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,732 ✭✭✭rain on


    Drove to the shops which, according to Google Maps, were 130 metres from my house. (Google Maps also helpfully points out that this is a one-minute walk or a 24-second drive).

    A friend of mine used to put in some marathon sessions in bed sleeping.

    One time we lived in a gaff that had the stairs coming right into the living room. It was an extension/granny flat type effort.
    He come half way down the stairs with a duvet, lay down and demanded Stargate was put on the telly. Watched it, then shuffled back to bed again.

    First they came for the socialists...

    A housemate in college had a jar full of change. On Sunday evening, he decided to count it on his bed. Got bored, and left it to go watch telly. That night, he just slept on top of all the coins instead of moving them. And did the same ofr the rest of the week until Friday.

    On the monday morning, he went to the toilet, and heard a splash when he sat down. Turns out there was a 10c coin in his crack from his money snooze.

    People who can't be arsed registering and paying the household charge thinking they are 'protesting'. Yeah right. Also people who think liking something on FB is actually contributing to a cause. Slacktivism.

    For a while as a young teen i'd always hear banging on the wall from my brother's room for about a minute.. this was him using a hockey stick to turn off the light from the bed (rather than just getting up to do it)

    wow, some lazy fcukrers here


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,576 ✭✭✭Paddy Cow


    Was drinking at a friends house the other night and we'd both had a few. Out of the blue I said to her "hey [name], stand up for a second". She good humouredly stood up and said "what?". I said "since you're standing will you get me a can from the fridge please?". Fair play to her she got it but she didn't all for it again :pac:

    Hmm, think my one could be a winner of ultimate laziness :

    Did my theory test in September 2010 passed it as you do. The place where I would have to get the license is no more then a 15 minute walk and I have yet to do it. Laziness to the max
