How lazy are you?

Come on, share your stories. What is the most (or is it least?) you have done to get out of doing something?

I will get the ball rolling.

When I was in my early teens, I went to get the clothes off the line for my mum. Instead of taking them off, I sprayed them with a hose a little so I can say they were still wet when I checked. I could have just said they were wet, but that would be a lie. So a quick hosing and you are in truth city, population me.

So how about you? How lazy can you be?

    A quick hosing is never good. Never.

    Sometimes I'm too lazy to put makeup on for selfies so I just block out my face with a sticker.

    I see your ... and raise you

    Have you ever been so utterly stressed out that you had to step aside for a few moments and close your eyes, pretending you’re somewhere else entirely? There are many things in life that I look forward to. Through tedious tasks each day, I can’t help but daydream about the things that I would most prefer to be doing. Sometimes it could be as simple as enjoying a coffee ice cream shake. For the most part, however, I fantasize about my favorite non-food items. A warm, sunny day with a gentle breeze. The fact that @MeeseeksAndDestroy is a thespian. A picnic at my favorite brook. Long road trips with great tunes and a friend. Though these are all fantastic ideas, I have to say that there is one day-off activity that I am an utter expert at: the ultimate retreat: the lazy day on the couch. Expert planning of a lazy day on the couch includes procuring the necessary items, food, and attire.

    There are many components to the perfect day. Firstly, you must have the necessary items to make a lazy day just that- LAZY. These items include, but are not limited to, a wide assortment of movies and books. In order to completely anticipate the fluctuating moods and interests of a lazy lounger- there have to be at least six genres of movies. Action, romance, comedy, horror, suspense, and mystery. Books have to be varied- but not necessary by genre. I usually like to have at least three of my favorite old stand-bys, and two or three new books that are waiting to be read. Without these things, you run the risk of becoming bored and lazy- which is not nearly as much fun as just being lazy. Extra blankets and poufy pillows for the couch are a must. There is no lee-way on that subject. Without squashy pillows, the lazy day becomes an uncomfortable fiasco.

    Anyone ever pick something up from the floor with their toes because you're too lazy to bend down? No?
    I may have once or twice. *shrugs*

    I taught my kids to read and google by 3 and 4 so I never had to answer their parade of dumb questions.

    I've sprayed Febreeze on clothes that I didn't feel like washing, but wanted to wear anyways.

    i haven't washed my jeans in, I think, 11 months. but idk if that's technically "lazy" or not. i'm too lazy to argue the point though.

    I read somewhere that you're not SUPPOSED to wash your jeans. I jumped on that quick like a bunny. Any excuse to do less laundry.

    When I was in college, my roommate was so lazy that she rigged up some crazy-complicated system of string so that she wouldn't have to get out of bed to cut off the light.

    I bought her a clapper for Christmas.

    I'm too lazy to wash my hair every morning so I usually pull it into a messy bun. I wear glasses so it pulls together the naughty secretary look just fine.

    I don't know exactly how he got into my house to steal this method from me, just just so he could turn it into part of one of his episodes...
    I'm guessing he probably got in because I was to lazy to go back downstairs to lock the doors.

    I wonder if he's got a method for replacing the light bulbs.

    I do this all the time. Then I think of how good I'd be at having no arms and shudder.

    When I was in high school I hated gym class. When we had to run a lap on the track I would rush to be first outside so I could cut across the center of the track and then just run 1/2 a lap. Probably more effort expended running out there first and cutting across than it would have been to just run the lap.
