What's the laziest thing you have done?

I dunno if laziest but my landlord certainly thought so. I had bedbugs and there’s so much crap you have to do prep for the extermination like remove all your clothes and wash them three times on hot, flip through all your books to check for them, the list was ridiculous. I’m way too lazy for that so I paid the extra $600 out of pocket for the “good” treatment where they just super heat your entire home to kill them and all you have to do is remove things that might melt or explode.

Thankfully the exterminators found the illegal fireworks I had hidden and forgotten about, removed them, and didn’t say anything to the landlord.

Back in my teenage years, when you used to change TV channel by walking over to the TV and physically pressing a button, myself and two friends (likely all a bit stoned), sat on a sofa opposite the TV, invented a ~3 metre long “TV prodding device” from gaffer tape and “anything we could find within arm’s reach”.

I think we spent about half an hour building this device, rather than any of us standing up, taking a few steps forward and physically pressing the button.

The device succeeded.

It fell apart after a few uses.

Your mom. Sorry if this had been mentioned already, it’s a long line.

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

I pirated a game I legit bought. This was way back in the days when some games had this annoying copy protection where you had to look up words from the manual before you could play. Enter the 3rd word on line 7 of page 28. This sort of thing.

It got old really fast, so I disassembled the binary and saw where it was calling on a random number generator to select the page. I changed just 1 assembly instruction so that the generator would always return 0. Then it said look up so-and-so and the word turned out to be “time”. After that, all I had to do was enter “time” at launch and I tossed out the manual.

I literally spit coffee reading this lol

I once threw away sink full of dirty dishes rather than hand wash them. They had been there for like two weeks and were really nasty. I think that was at the height of my depression.

Checked my phone to get the current weather. The alternative was walking a meter and opening the curtains. But then I had to get up.

I made an script in Python to batch rename like 10 images in a folder.

We rented an apartment for 5 months after listing our house for sale because we didn’t want to have to clean it and leave the house fora few hours every time someone wanted to come do a viewing.

In our defense… we had a 3yr old, a hairy dog, and were preparing to leave the country permanently, which took 10 months of nonstop preparation on top of working full time, so I still think it was worth the money to save us the extra work. But yeah, probably the laziest thing I’ve done.

Ordered delivery from across the street because it was raining and I didn’t want to…

I got a pair of slippers with brushes on for when you clean the floor, I put it on a remote controlled car so I didn’t have to get off the couch.

I’ve found alternate means of watching a show because I couldn’t be assed to open my authenticator app more than once.

I put off procrastinating.

Pissed out of a window rather than walk ten feet to the bathroom.

In fairness, I had the flu, and was a teenager. Feeling like hammered vulture shit, with a window right there and open anyway? No way was I getting out of bed. The window was just barely above the top of the mattress, so all I had to do was roll over, kinda prop up, and let 'er rip.

Surprisingly, not only did it not go horribly wrong, but the little forethought I had with a fever that high managed to prevent any drips from being a problem. Well, a problem then. Still had to wash the towel later, and that left me without a clean towel for fever sweats, but I had bandanas I could use for that.

Look, I was creeping into dangerous fever levels lol. Not the best set of decisions, but it worried out in the end

I didn’t read a book because it was in the other room.
