I've just eaten a yoghurt with a fork.

Didn't want to get a spoon and had a fork to hand.

Some would say it reduces washing up. Others (including my wife) would say I'm lazy.

And you?

Don't think I've washed a car in the past five years.

Wife came home the other night and I was sitting in front of the fire, crying my eyes out.

"What's wrong?" she said.

I replied, "I'm burning...."

Buying lightbulbs I can control with pretty much any gadget I have to hand, just so I don't have to get out of bed and go to a switch.

When doing DIY I always try and do the least amount of trips to the shed and back.

This usually involves me trying to carry a massive amount of tools and materials in one go (think Crackerjack!) - resulting in me dropping the tools and materials and causing myself more work and expense!

I do this every time and never learn.

A guy I know who was a farmers son had been spreading fertilizer, he is the laziest sod ever. So he had one tractor with the spinner on the back and another pulling a flat bed trailer with bags of fertilizer on. He finished doing the field and instead of driving one tractor back to the yard and walking back for the other or getting a lift he decided to do this, put the tractor pulling the trailer in low first and set the hand throttle so it would drive itself across the field while he drove the other one. Surprise surprise it went horribly wrong and the self driver ended up turned over in a ditch. Rob R we salute you ๐Ÿ™„

I'll show this thread to my wife later while singing to her slightly out of key 'I told you I was a catch. Go on, look, that's lazy!!'. I may even do a jig.

I turn on the TV it defaults to the TV Guide with a little display of the current live TV channel... Half an hour later I realise I'm watching it in the poxy little box on the TV guide... Can't be arsed to move to get the remote.

In other lazy news... I have a WiFi Kettle.. Because I can't be arsed to get up to turn the kettle on and wait for it to boil. ๐Ÿ˜†

I missed a ride the other week because I couldn't be bothered putting tyres back on my wheels. I hated myself from the comfort of my sofa for the entire afternoon.

And I've got a rigid single speed so I don't have to change gear or maintain any suspension.

After using an aeropress for a fair old while, last week I bought a filter coffee machine with a timer, so I don't even have to make the coffee in the morning - I can just wander downstairs and pour it (I wanted to have the machine in the bedroom but the husband wouldn't allow it).

Brother too lazy to use steps/ladder to cut adjoining hedge. So lashes hedge trimmer to washing line prop at 90 degrees, with trigger zip tied on. All went well, him marching up & down trimming the hedge.
Until the blade snags & snatches the thing out of his hand, & over the hedge before landing in the neighbours flower bed still whirring away...
Then, the neighbours dog comes running to investigate...

My whole life is lazy. My usual day consists of taking kids to school. Going back to bed. Get up. Flop on couch until it's time to pick them up again.

I am the laziest person I've ever met. Just got up. Already looking forward to today's nap.

A good example of my laziness is I started stripping some wallpaper in the hall. It's now two years later and I still haven't finished it.

I think this story takes some beating:

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.

That's wonderful ๐Ÿ˜€

Some sysadmins I know once shared a house, and had an IRC channel dedicated to discussion of what takeaway to order from, just so they didn't have to leave their rooms.

I've had 10 or so foot square paint sample blocks on my living room wall for 15 years now. I never did decide on a colour and now I've got too much stuff in the room so it's too much hassle to move/cover everything in order to paint :p
