What's the laziest thing you ever saw?
Or heard about, or experienced in any way?

Mine: I once knew someone who had an electric hash pipe. :)

1. I used to work one block from a 7/11
this woman I worked with would drive her car that block to get a cup of coffee.

10. My dad and sister threw the dishes out and switched to disposables
because the dishwasher was busted and they were too lazy to wash them by hand or call Sears and order a new dishwasher.

16. This is the same girl who had 50+ pair of jeans to maximize the time
between laundry loads. :eyes:

Is it any wonder I moved away from these people as soon as I legally could?

Hi billyskank! I missed you while you were on DU hiatus. :loveya:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4733741&mesg_id=4733794

I should stress though that I never actually followed up the idea!

I missed you too! :loveya:

20. I think the smell of a term's worth of dirty socks would knock soembody
over. Sis usually just waits until I take pity on my Dad and take a carload of dirty clothes to my house to clean. (True story: last time I did this it took two trips in my wagon to take all thier dirty laundry to my house.)

You can and should have my email for the next time you are away from DU. PM me if you'd like it.

forks had a hardened scum on them that wouldn't come, so he chucked them, bought a meal at a university dining-hall and stole huge amounts of the institutional cutlery. He would use a fork for several weeks and then throw it away.

17. There's something about being a student
You know, when going to university I toyed with buying 70 pairs of pants and socks, i.e. exactly enough to get through one term. Which I would then bring home in a big sack during the hols for my mum to wash!

I never actually did it. I became acquainted with the laundrette after all. :)

24. This product.


Which, honestly, can be useful for those who are learning impaired, but is more often used by people who can't be bothered to spread peanut butter and jam on a piece of bread.

27. Oh, that is lazy on so many levels, I can't even go into it
The first time I saw a commercial for those fucking things I knew the republican "ethic" had won for all time in this country, and I lost what little hope I had for humanity.

Thankfully, there's still a few thousand of us real human beings left to re-seed the species.

32. I cannot comment
Wal-Mart over here own Asda, but I can't say that Asda shoppers are any lazier than, say, Sainsburys shoppers, or Tesco shoppers.

28. My ex-roomate from some 30 years ago...
when it was his turn to wash the dishes, which he let pile up for two weeks or more, would bag up and throw away the dirty dishes, then go out and buy new ones, rather than wash.

That was the ultimate of lazy.

Lazy bastard would spend $10.00 every two weeks.

43. No lie
I was waiting in line at the service desk at the local grocery store to pay the light bill. It was also lottery ticket night, if you know what that means. The long line overlooked the main entry to the store.

The rug outside the automatic doors somehow had gotten crumpled up. Time after time, the new entering shopper would engage in Olympic gymnastic moves trying to get their cart over the hump of the rug. No lie, 30 people must have tried to negotiate that bump in the rug. Some could somewhat easily drive their cart over it after a couple of tries and a running start, others, worked for a couple of minutes trying to get their cart into the store.

The guy behind me and I started to talk about it. It became quite a game guessing who would be able to negotiate the hump and who would not. When we became bored with this game, I asked the guy to hold my place in line and I went and pulled the run taut, used the 'antibacterial tissues ' near the carts to wipe my hands, thru the towelette away and got back in line. This took less time than any of the "get my cart over the rug into the store" entrants.
