Are you lazy and if so how lazy, any personal bests?

[AlCzervik]

i thought my personal best was not buying a microwave meal because the instructions read "Stir half way through cooking time, re cover and continue to cook" and no way am i doing that but then i realized today when i was at the supermarket that when i buy fruit i never buy any kind that has to be peeled.

[KitchenWitch]

1. I love crab but won't order crablegs because they are too much work.

[AlCzervik]

3. my husband got those jurassic sized crab legs at Costco so he brings them and literally shoves them

into the microwave, like bending them and having to shut the door real quick before a claw came back out, honest to gawd it was like something out of a horror movie.

i am with you though, if i was still eating meat and seafood no way would i get anything i had to de shell.

[AwakeAtLast]

82. That why God invented crab cakes

At least I think God did it. Oh well, whoever it was came up with a great idea!

:9

[KitchenWitch]

89. Crab cakes are definitely manna from a good place!

[bicentennial_baby]

2. I bought an orange today, but

it's still in my bag, b/c I was too lazy to peel it... :rofl:

I have pulled muscles trying to reach for things b/c I was too lazy to get up.

[AlCzervik]

4. oranges, what a pain, i buy them for Bob but i just cut a wedge out and put it in

his cage and even doing that pisses me off.

[bicentennial_baby]

5. OMG, when I had my Iguana

*RIP Raphael*

I had to hand chop collard greens, green beans, butternut squash...EVERY MORNING.

:cry: That sucked bad.

[begin_within]

6. I buy shredded cheddar cheese.

But I'm perfectly willing to grate a lemon, orange or lime for the zest.

[mainegreen]

7. Peeing out the window because the bathroom was too far.

This was in college. The bathroom was across the hall. Plus the window was already open.

Too far. Too lazy.


I'm not really that lazy anymore.

[Gormy Cuss]

13. That was YOU? I shoulda known.

Don't try that at home.

[mainegreen]

14. No one would recognize my college self.

He was.... a disaster.

I much more clean cut now! :D

[DS1]

18. why do I suspect he lives on in the second half of your username?

[mainegreen]

19. My lawyer has adviced me not to comment.

My lawyer has also advised me to be very jealous of the recent changes in Mass law.

[DS1]

21. It was like a million people all coughed at once, and were suddenly hungry

:smoke:

[pokerfan]

8. You don't eat bananas?

Great source of potassium.

[AlCzervik]

12. every once in a while but here's the problem, i am the only one in my house that

likes them and it's hard to just buy a few bananas and work up the energy to peel and eat them before they go gross.

[pokerfan]

16. Work up the energy?

Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!

[AlCzervik]

17. well i could work up the energy but lets face it, i'm lazy.

[BrotherBuzz]

56. Here's a secret trick from a lazy person regarding bananas:

Peel them from the bottom and you will expend half as much energy than starting from the stem end. I learned this little secret watching a chimp and said, "Oh, wow, chimps are smarter!".

[rcrush]

22. .

.

[AlCzervik]

29. so what did you delete, was is some type of reference to *bananas*?

[rcrush]

33. I replied to wrong message.

[DarkTirade]

9. I usually eschew buying oranges because peeling is too much work

but that's about as lazy as I usually get.

[appal_jack]

54. y'all are crazy

Peeling fruit is one of the most sensuous things you can do in public without getting promptly arrested.

I myself am all kinds of lazy, but have never lacked the motivation to peel a frickin' orange. :eyes:














OK, so maybe that was mean. I'm sorry. :hide:
But try it again. You may find peeling to be worth the effort.

-app

[DarkTirade]

81. I was rather spoiled, actually.

I spent 20 years in Florida. We had an orange tree and a grapefruit tree right next to the house. After a while I just got so used to having fresh citrus all the time that it didn't seem worth the effort.

... kinda the same thing with Disney too. :P I'd managed to get in free so many times that it just didn't seem worth paying a ticket to get in when I didn't have free tickets or a friend or family member who worked there.

[DS1]

10. when i'm reclining and surfing

sometimes instead of reaching forward for the WIRELESS keyboard, i'll use the mouse and highlight various letters on the page, copy and paste them into a search box with the right-mouse button

:blush:

[rcrush]

25. I do the same thing but I use the on screen keyboard.

Its awesome if you dont want to move. But it takes forever to type.

[DS1]

30. what on screen keyboard?

[rcrush]

32. Start Run and type OSK

If you are using windows.

[DS1]

37. oh neat

using now - MUCH FASTER

[siligut]

66. Wow, thanks for that little tidbit of advice! nt

[Breeze54]

11. Changed the channel with the remote with my toes.

I had dropped the remote off the couch. :P

[texanwitch]

15. I can think about picking stuff off the floors for days.

I have some boxes that need to be moved, I will do that one day.

That drives one of my housemates crazy.

[yellowdogintexas]

46. we were separated at birth I think nt

[texanwitch]

51. I always knew I had a twin.

My loft is a mess right now, clean but a mess.

I need to think about cleaning up before next Thursday.

Sometimes I just move stuff from one spot to another.

[yellowdogintexas]

80. same here. I have to get my kitchen ready to cook in and some semblance

of order before the Christmas tree goes up.

At least I am not hosting a family dinner; I am going to someone else's house for Thanksgiving Day.

[madeline_con]

90. Yep. Stuff like that takes planning! n/t

[spooky3]

20. when my brother-in-law was a child

he would lie on his side on the floor moving a toy truck around and his mother would sometimes notice a little wet spot growing in the front of his pants and tell him he had to get up and go to the bathroom NOW!

[rcrush]

23. I'm too lazy to check my voicemail.

I have 15 messages.

[DS1]

24. hah

at work I tried to get my voicemail early on, didn't know the passcode, and never ever tried again. there's probably a brazillion messages in there

[rcrush]

26. I'm also too lazy to click on videos sometimes

Like when I look at Yahoos homepage there might be a news item I want to read but its a video instead and I just dont want to click on a video and watch it.

[peruban]

27. I'm so lazy I don't even bother to pay attention.

[rcrush]

28. I made sure to buy the input selector with a remote

So I would never have to get up to change from xbox to ps3 to apple tv.

[AlCzervik]

31. i hear that, same thing with my remote, the Wii, blue ray, apple tv and cable box

are all programmed in to that remote.

getting up is for chumps.

[Orrex]

34. Turtlensue doesn't wear pants, because she'll just have to remove them to go to the bathroom later

Or so I hear.

[AlCzervik]

35. i'm too lazy to ask her so i'll just believe you.

[Orrex]

38. Delete

Too lazy to correct the error.

[AlCzervik]

41. saw it, that'll stay with me for long time, payback will not be fun for you.

[Orrex]

42. Just for you, I overcame my laziness and reposted it as a reply to the OP

Enjoy!

[TZ]

61. I'm going to have to keep an eye on all your posts from now on...

Because I'm getting tired of you spilling all my secrets....:grr:

[Orrex]

74. At least your secrets aren't as bad as DuStrange's!

:scared:

[XemaSab]

83. No, but for real

Pantyhose are the WORST.

Taking off and putting on pantyhose: they're processes, not events. x(

[rcrush]

36. In my old apartment whne the trash was full I would just throw garbage on the floor.

I really did not give a fuck.

[XemaSab]

39. I am the bastard child of lazy and ADD

A few days ago I transplanted some plants out of gallon pots into the ground.

For days these pots have been marring my view of the garden.

Today I resolved to do something about it!

I was going to go get the pots, stack them up, and throw them with the others in the carport.

I walked 15 feet across the lawn, and stacked the 5 pots up.

I looked out in the back yard an hour later, and there they were, stacked up neatly.

Somehow, between stacking them up and putting them in the carport, I got distracted.

Tomorrow I really must do something about them.

[XemaSab]

84. Update: Today my ONE AND ONLY accomplishment

was getting those pots in the carport.

Sadly, I stepped on dogshit on the way back, so my shoes are now outside.

For how long? Nobody knows. :(

[MsKandice01]

88. OMG you sound so much like me!!

I do the same kind of stuff all the time.

[Orrex]

40. DuStrange is so lazy that he fakes orgasm while masturbating, just to get it over with

Or so I hear.

[Orrex]

43. I'm so lazy that I'm not even going to finishy typi

[zanne]

44. I hate taking those little sticker things off my peaches.

Completely unnecessary.

[RiffRandell]

45. I leave shopping carts in the parking lot.

I don't use turn signals, either.

[AlCzervik]

47. you don't leave the cart in the parking space do ya?

i am lazy but i always return the cart to the cart thingy.

[RiffRandell]

48. Nah, just kidding.

They are both pet peeves of mine.

[Kali]

49. In December of 1999 I moved all the furniture out of the living room,

In April of 2000 I sanded most of the floor and bought gym floor sealer to put on it.

[XemaSab]

85. In August of 2005 I stripped half the paint off the hearth

In June of 2008 I finished the job. :P

[Kali]

97. you know if it had been any year but the millinium

I could fool myself into thinking it was just a year or so ago. Instead of almost a DECADE!

[Lil Missy]

50. My best lazy was when I'd have my young son and my nephews paddle their own butts when naughty.

And you know what? It worked!! :rofl:

They'd often pout and whine about being punished, (by giving their OWN biscuits a little dusting! LOL!) I never had to move or lay a finger on them!

Damn, they all turned out to be pretty good adults too. :)

[baldguy]

52. In 2002 I started painting my house.

It's a brick house, so I just painting the trim & the windows.

I'm about 3/4 done.

[CreekDog]

53. i only bring the groceries that need to be refrigerated upstairs

to avoid a second trip up and down the stairs. :eyes:

[Lucian]

55. I'm so lazy I'm still in the process of being born.

It's too much work to get out of there.

[Bunny]

57. I have a battery-operated tooth flosser.

Yes, I'm that lazy.

[Indi Guy]

58. I was about to respond here, but then I said to myself, "Fuck it."...

;)

[spooky3]

59. LOL to the responses on this thread!

[siligut]

68. Did you catch the one about not even having to sit up to reach the keyboard?

To get to the on screen keyboard. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8254958#8255226

Funny thread, but also some time savers and useful advice.

[AlCzervik]

71. i am impressed by the laziness here, i'm in good company.

[Symarip]

60. I'm so lazy...

[TZ]

62. Orrex reposts the brazilion joke...and tired old puns

because he's too lazy to think up original humor!:evilgrin:
(he he..that ought ta get his goat!)

[MrCoffee]

63. I'll tell you tomorrow

That's how lazy I am.

[BarenakedLady]

64. I'm too lazy to respond

[Bertha Venation]

65. I considered having children so I would never have to look for the remote. n/t

[rcrush]

67. I wont go grocery shopping for weeks because I'm too lazy

I went three weeks living on bottled water and crackers.

[siligut]

69. I'm so lazy...

I’m reading this thread on how to be lazy because I am just too lazy to think up my own languorous ways.

[Deep13]

70. I write "nt" instead of "eom" because it saves a keystroke. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

72. I Am The Laziest Person In The World

The list of examples would take up WAY too much bandwidth.
The Professor

[sarge43]

73. Cleaning out stuff

Stuff that had been sitting in trunks since the Paleozoic era. In one of the books was a home work assignment from junior high school. That's a little over a half century ago, friends.

Think I should get off my arse, finish it and send it in?

Lazy or procrastinator? You decide.

[Shell Beau]

75. Back in the days when I would occasionally light up, I one time

stared down my friend so she could feel me staring. When she looked my way, I pointed to what I needed her to hand me. Probably a bag of chips or something. I was that lazy that I wouldn't even talk! That is pretty damn lazy. Of course the "smoke" may have had something to do with it.

I am no longer lazy. One can't be with a tiny baby!!!!

[Heidi]

76. I wish I were more lazy.

I wish I could sleep past 7 a.m. on weekends. :cry:

P.S. Is peeled fruit now available in the US? I've never seen that anywhere except in the frozen foods section. I'm a cultural infidel, I think.

[AlCzervik]

77. i get up early everyday as well even on the weekends, i'm just lazy about certain things.

at my supermarket you can buy watermelon and pineapple that's already peeled and cut up, sometimes i buy the pineapple.

[Heidi]

78. My supermarket doesn't even wash the salad.

I think they consider that "super fresh." :shrug:

[Bertha Venation]

79. You're not a cultural infidel. It's just that US denizens don't mind paying

someone to peel their fruit for them. Diana Krall even sings about it - but I don't think she pays.

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

86. Regarding nutrition...

...when my wife and I were dating (30+ years ago) she came to my apartment and found the sole contents of the refrigerator to be:

1 case beer

1 can Campbells condensed "Bean With Bacon " soup...can open, half consumed, with fork stuck down into it...no water added...


There was also the time I found myself drinking cold, 3 day old coffee directly out of the carafe while sitting on the edge of the bed in my skivvies...but that is a whole 'nuther story...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

87. It's late November; it's well below freezing

and my air conditioner is still in my window. It's such a lot of WORK to take it out.

[AlCzervik]

91. can't you just put a parka over it or something?

[madeline_con]

93. Tuck a blanket around it! n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

94. That would mean I'd have to find a blanket,

stand up, actually walk over to the air conditioner and go to the great trouble of positioning the blanket around it. I think I'll just sit here and look at it instead.

[madeline_con]

95. Put the blanket nearby for a couple of weeks.

You don't want to overdo.

[quakerboy]

100. Last year we didnt take ours out untill

January 3rd. And the only reason I did it so soon was a black mold super colony 2foot by 3.5 foot on the board above it.

[rug]

92. It took me 26 hours to reply to this.

[nadine_mn]

96. In one year we moved 4 times, so the last time we moved

I was reluctant to unpack again... that was 8 yrs ago... still have a whole lot of boxes in the garage

In my defense... we have mice, so I hate unpacking and finding "presents"

I am also so lazy that when my husband is upstairs, I call him on his cell phone because I am too lazy to get up and holler at him

whew all this typing...need a nap

[Kali]

98. cell phone summoning

the one benefit to letting the squids have phones! bwahahahahahahahahahaha

[quakerboy]

101. When we moved to Oregon

about half the boxes stayed not just unpacked from 92 until present, but they stayed IN THE TRUCK until 2001. My dad bought the truck so that he didn't have to unload it.

[WildEyedLiberal]

99. I bought those Oscar Mayer hot dogs that come already wrapped in a bun

Because actually boiling a hot dog and putting it in its own bun is too much work.
