Move away in videogame to try to get away from own, real life fart.
If you have slightly more energy, you can blow it away with the right timing.
installed linux just to escape the windows disaster. turned out it was the right(and laziest) thing i could do. after initial setup it just sits there...working like clockwork since day one and hasnt skipped a beat. no surprises. just works. if it ever doesnt work, there has been a thumbdrive permanently hanging out in the back of the box with timeshift updating every day. waiting. prepared for something to go wrong. so far havent had to use it. in fact i keep forgetting it's even there. i suppose i should switch it out once it fills up.
I called my girlfriend's phone while she was in a tent 5m away from the spot I was sitting in.
Didn't feel like getting up or yelling.
I don't feel like yelling all the time. Why yell when we have digital telepathy?
Once picked up the kids with the car instead of walking. I was feeling weird maybe a cold or something, and didn't want to walk. It's only about 1Km.
I was chilling on the couch watching tv when my roommate came home. She left her purse on the kitchen counter, then came to join me on the couch. I realized after she sat down that I was thirsty, and I'd missed my opportunity to ask her to grab something for me when she was in the kitchen. So I sent a text to her phone, which was still in her purse on the kitchen counter.
She groaned, then got up to check her message:
"Hey, since you're up anyway, can you grab me a soda from the fridge?"
So did she get you the soda?
She did. It was, however, mysteriously very shaken up. No idea how that happened.
This deserves a slow clap.
That's not lazy. Genius burns calories.
This is only a few steps away from evil genius.
It's at least evil clever.
Took a photo of my floor with the flash to find where i dropped a chip rather than get up and turn the light on
Maybe not taking a picture but using a flashlight to find a small thing you dropped usualy works.
Hold the flashlight parallel to the floor and look for the shadow.
It was a potato chip
Do they not have shadows where you live?
I do not need shadows in order to find something the size of a potato chip. I though you might have been under the impression it was a microchip.
This is actually genius? I'm gonna do this all the time when I drop screws or whatever. Might result in nothing but could be so much less time on my knees. Life hack.
Not exactly the laziest but I was in IT collaborating with a dev on a project for our MSP’s control panel. They were ignoring my meeting invites, emails and IMs for a few days and I was getting annoyed. They were upstairs in a separate building across from ours. Kind of a hike.
Rather than hunt them down like a normal person, i browsed to their drive and stuck a batch script in their startup folder that drew a cheeky Matrix-style animated graphic (first one was out then) that after 30 seconds or so faded out to a message asking them to contact me. I set it so it would pop up and maximize if they rebooted. I tested it a bit but wasn’t sure if it would work or even if they ever rebooted since we had dedicated workstations.
But apparently they shut down their machine every night. So the next day they stood up and freaked out yelling that they had been hacked before they saw the ensuing message.
They were pretty pissed off once someone calmed them down and they figured out what i’d done, but we got the project completed after that.
Seems like your coworker was the lazy one
Paid $30 for a $6 meal to be delivered to my house using DoorDash.
I pirated a movie because I didn't want to plug in my external hard drive.
I think this is a common shared behavior of lazy nerds. I once torrented The Big Lebowski because I didn't want to get out of bed and put the DVD in.
I’d like to think that The Dude would abide.
This is one of the reasons I use Jellyfin.
Instead of scrolling back up to the top of a website, I refresh the page.
I use a simple mouse gesture bound to scroll to top, or the Home key on my keyboard. Those are no more effort than a refresh.
that is pretty lazy, especially on a pc where if you'd just have the energy to move a finger over to the right side of the keyboard to tap HOME once is all it would take.
Yeah, my right hand is on the mouse and my left hand rests on the left cmd/ctrl key to easily hit shortcut combinations. So it’s easier to hit cmd/ctrl+R or F5 instead of reaching across to the Home button with my left hand or letting go of the mouse with my right.

I don't have shoes with laces.
slip-on shoes aren't just for little kids, the elderly, or others that can't tie shoes.
they. are. awesome.
i always loose-tie my sneakers anyway so they could be slipped-on and off easily, but stretchy 'no tie' laces are a huge upgrade from that.
I have never in my life tied and untied shoes every time I put them on, even though all of my shoes have laces. It takes a lot of force, but I slide into tight-ish dress shoes as well. With my hiking boots, I just pull the string over the clips. I have also known how to tie shoes decently quickly for as long as I can remember.

Once I jerked it rather than having sex because it didn't want to put the effort in to have sex with my gf at the time.
This backfired though, as she caught me and then she talked me into going down on her as punishment
i wouldn't mind being punished like that.
In retrospect I'm not complaining, but at the time I was tired and just wanted to cum and go to sleep.
But relationships are about compromise, and later on she more than paid me back.
Not finished this r
I'll often order stuff from Ebay/Amazon even though the shop is right next door. It's partial anxiety but also mostly pure laziness.
Or, OR, retail doesn't understand that it's all a convenience purchase at this point, which means they have to have inventory if they want money. I swear to god, every time i go to a store they never have what i want in stock, so i get my phone out and order it online while standing there angry.
we went to walmart awhile back to pick something up that was in stock in our store.
the asshole behind the electronics counter said "we don't have that in stock". didn't even look. didn't want to check his handheld after we showed him what the web site said.
we stood right there and ordered it online.. for delivery from the store.
we finished up there, swung through arbys drive through, then filled-up the car.
and we barely beat the delivery guy from the store home.
It was a situation like that that makes me never use Walmart marketplace.
I ordered an item for in-store pickup. The order gets canceled for lack of inventory. I go to the store and find the item on the shelf for at a higher price. While looking at the item I re-order it online. It gets canceled again for the same reason. I give up on their online portal and go somewhere else.
I know it's a bit or a luxury that not everyone has but after this and some other perceived slights, I try not to shop at Walmart if if I can help to even if it costs a bit more.
I was once shopping for an office chair, and since you can't tell what a chair is like to sit in by browsing online listings I went to Staples to try out their chairs on display. I found one I liked, and was ready to buy it. On a whim I used my phone and the store's wifi to look up the same chair on the Staples website, where I found it on sale for less money with free delivery included.
Still sitting in the chair in the store I ordered it online, saved some money, and then went home without having to take a heavy chair with me on the bus.
Maybe a hot take, but this is something that I'd ask to speak to the manager about. I don't want to do my job either, but I still do it. I'm certainly not going to stand in front of a customer and refuse to do my job.
It’s… Walmart. I mean, it’s … Walmart.
It's still a job. If they don't want to deal with customers, they should find a role where that isn't one of the basic requirements of the job. They could stock shelves at that same store, work in a warehouse, cook in a restaurant, or pretty much anything that isn't customer-facing.

I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.
