27 Times people chose pure laziness

Being lazy is often frowned upon, but sometimes it's an underrated skill. You know exactly when someone is lazy, but did their actions leave you surprised as well? It sometimes takes more brainpower to be lazy than it does to do a task traditionally. Here are lazy people who might also be part genius.

His girlfriend asked him to watch the cake, so he did. Not how she might've thought, but with the help of technology.

He made his phone record the oven while casting it to his desktop screen. Talk about genius laziness.

The Only Spot That Mattered

This person must've been in a hurry. That, or wiping off the rest of the snow wasn't interesting enough. I hope they were able to get the back windshield as well.

I'm sure this driver was able to get to their destination safely, but at what risk? This isn't something you should do consistently.

If you have a laser pointer and a cat, you can accomplish certain things. Here's someone who figured out they don't need to touch the light switch anymore.

The cat has to be willing to play, but if they are, you're good to go. Look at it, ready to leap up and swipe.

Sleeping on your side makes it very difficult to watch the TV if it's in front of you. Instead, this kid changed the angle of the television to suit his position.

ADVERTISEMENT

Yes, this is lazy, but you can't blame him. Sleeping on your back isn't what it's cracked up to be.

You Wouldn't Understand

Sometimes, you don't want to sit up straight all of the time. Leaning back with the keyboard in your lap is a sure sign of laziness.

You could give her the benefit of the doubt and say the original keyboard is broken, but no.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a college student. Rigging the light switch to turn off by pulling a string sounds like something that someone who studies all night needs.

When you fall asleep with the light on, you don't get the same sleep. That string comes in handy big time, I imagine.

What A Lazy Idea

Okay, this is a great idea for all lazy people out there. It looks like he's only on the second floor, so that vacuum could reach easily.

Sure, walking down to get his shirt would've only taken about two minutes total, but he didn't feel like it. Let the man live.

Just Peel It Off?

Taking off the sticker on an apple is usually what gets done first. It takes about one second to get it off, but this person had a better idea.

They wanted to eat the fruit as soon as possible and probably didn't even clean it off. You really couldn't peel it off?

Rewinding the clock every year can get a little tiresome, but that doesn't mean you deprive everyone of seeing the correct time. This looks like it's at a school, where time really matters.

ADVERTISEMENT

Regardless of where this is, putting up "-1 hour" should be a cause for concern. It was probably the "cool" teacher that did this.

Who needs to stand when you can be like this guy? If he watched it on his phone, he could have stayed home and saved his money.

Maybe he hurt his leg at the concert and this was his solution because he didn't want to miss the concert. Or maybe he got tired of standing. Either way, it's a genius solution. 10/10

That laziness must be a result of something. Maybe there weren't any clean clothes left.

Here's a man who doesn't want to walk the dogs the traditional way. He probably threw a ball as far as he could and told them to chase it.

Maybe he doesn't want to get those extra steps in for the day. Is this lazy or genius?

Brushing your teeth can get tiresome. Okay, maybe not, but this guy will make you believe that.

He's still going to have to stand up soon, so I don't see the point in this madness. This is laziness at its finest.

If you're tasked to paint a wall, you can't leave a spot unpainted because a TV was in the way. This person doesn't deserve to get paid for this job.

Maybe it was someone's child who got asked to paint the walls. If so, that would explain it better.

Would You Buy These?

To be honest, you shouldn't be buying these. Clementines are the easiest fruits to peel, but they still want to sell you these?

This kid got tired of walking around this massive store. I don't know how he found a straw that long, but he did it.

Now, all he needs is a TV with Netflix and a plate of food. If he somehow managed to get that, he'd be the king of laziness.

This guy figured he'd use the box as the chair instead. The only issue with that is that there's no back support for him.

If he keeps this up for a week, he's going to be waking up with a lot of back pain. Hopefully, he finally put it together.

Spitting out the watermelon seeds is a task. This lady figured out how to do it efficiently and effectively with that plastic bag trick.

Still, most would consider this as lazy, but it's on the cusp of being groundbreaking. Don't be surprised if they start selling a more compact bag for this purpose.

Whoever did this didn't think it all the way through. Closing the refrigerator door could cause some damage to those poor eggs.
