    Knew a guy in college who was super-fond of the bed. He used to have the telly turned sideways so he could watch lying down!

    Often if I miss when I throw socks into my clothes basket, I'll just leave them on the ground until the next time I'm over that side of the room. Otherwise I'd have to walk all the way around my bed.

    I'm also able turn off the light from my bed with a small american football. One time I missed, but I knew I had one of those sleep masks from when I flew back from America in the drawer beside my bed, so I put that on and left the light on so I wouldn't have to get out of bed.

    Friend's sis was in the living room and phoned her sis in the kitchen to make her a cup of tea. She used to sit on her bed and hoover things off the floor when her mother would finally lose the plot with her to clean her room.

    when I was 17 I got my own phone line installed in my bedroom. I used to ring my mam to ask her stuff even though she was down stairs.. :D

    A guy I vaguely know once rang the chinese next door to the pub he was in, ordered his food and kept an eye firmly on the window. When he saw the delivery driver get into the car he jumped out and asked for a lift.

    He got a ride home that would normally cost about £6-7 in a taxi for the £1 delivery charge, plus his food obviously.

    Maybe not exactly lazy but a bloody good idea in any case. AFAIK he still does it regularly.

    Takeaway driver should charge him more. Or why would they even let him in the van in the first place? It's surely outside the terms of their employment?

    I know for a fact someone did that in my town. It was a couple of years ago too.
    I think it's a story that has spread and folk around the country are at it :)

    Please tell me you put the eggs in five mins before the final whistle?

    I regularly drive to the shop that is 2 mins walk away. It actually takes longer to drive due to the fact when I leave my apartment I have to turn onto a one way street and go around a loop to get to the the shop. Add to that there is never any parking there so I either drive round for a couple of mins or park illegally and to top it off I got a parking ticket 2 weeks ago for parking there illegally :)

    Oh the joys of being lazy!

    I could spam this thread but I am far to lazy.
    It's not so much I am lazy, I can graft, when I have to, it's just getting there, I am more of a procrastinator a battle class one.

    Take yesterday for a minor example, I changed my car last December, they threw in the clip on car mats when I bought the car. Also I have hub caps so I bought cable ties in December to fasten them on more securely. I finally took the mats out of my booth and able ties out of my boot yesterday and done the job, so it only took me 3 months to do so.

    But I have loads of those little jobs that need doing, but not today.

    When I was heavily pregnant(about the size of a beached whale) and lived at home I used to ring my mam who was downstairs to come up and fluff up my pillows, help me turn etc. Poor woman used to turn her phone off after a while:o

    I keep shoes next to my bed so I can throw them at the light switch across the room when I finish reading at night.

    Get a nerf gun.

    The light switch is across from my cubicle so to turn it off I have to go around the cubicle to get to it. Hate having the light on but the guy next to me insists it be Operating theatre bright so as soon as he leaves, I stand up, cock my nerf gun aim slightly above the switch, take a breath, let a little out and squeeze. get it 4 out 5 times.

    my friends used to order pizzas and give next door as their address (next door was also a friend of ours). The neighbour would then walk in to their house and give them the pizzas while they never had to move from their chairs(pizza already paid for by card over the phone), moaning that the pizza shop never get the right address. Genius.

    Same lads also set up a mini fridge in the living room and a train set to carry beer from one chair to the next, as they decided that if they threw the cans to each other they got too fizzy.

    A guy on my road drives to his parents house. It's about 10/12 doors away. :confused:

    He wears those milk bottle glasses that give him massive eyes. I don't respect him.

    My wife called me lazy today.

    I said, "I do five sit ups every morning!"

    She said, "That's nothing!"

    I said, "I know, but there's only so many times you can hit the snooze button."

    When my younger sister was about four, my mother asked her to get the dustpan from the cupboard. Cue cries of "I have to do EVERYTHING around here" :pac:

    Another sister of mine was very proud of herself when she was deemed old enough to make a cup of tea. It was great for a few weeks when we didn't even have to ask her, she'd be running around going "anyone want a cup of tea?". Fun times :D

    My older brothers used to be awful lazy when they got back from the pub. They wanted food but were too lazy to make it themselves. They'd offer me whatever change they had in their pockets to make them some toasties. Between them I'd often come up with between 15 and 20 quid!

    Was staying with my cousin in his folks mobile home in Kilkee years ago. GTA San Andreas had just come out. So we were staying in the living room, with a TV and PS2 each. Went to bed at about 8 one evening, played GTA til God knows what time, eventually went to sleep. Following day, wake up, get rolls handed to us for breakfast without ever having to leave our respective sleeping bags. Same with lunch. Same with dinner. Then at about 10 to 8, we realised the shop was about to close, so we got dressed, ran to the shop, got about half a ton of penny sweets and straight back to our sleeping bags to play GTA. Didn't get up til half 4 the next day when my parents arrived to collect me.

    Good times.

    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.
