Me… I used to bin plates I couldn’t be bothered to clean. At one point I was buying new crockery almost weekly. I didn’t get paper one as I always told myself I would wash the next set.. then didnt.

I had a housemate at uni who paid to stream movies that he had upstairs in dvd form.

I CBA to switch my light off. I would text my flatmate that I needed to talk to her. She would come to my room. I would bring up something like ' do you mind if I have a friend round at the weekend?' she would be chill and tell me I don't need permission and then leave. But I would ask her to switch the light off on the way out. All because I couldn't be bothered to get out of bed, walk 2 meters and switch it off myself.

I know of someone who used to keep a saucepan under her bed so if she needed a wee in the night she didn't have to go to the bathroom

Kept their Christmas tree up until end of March as they couldn't be bothered with the hassle of taking it down. Just stood in the corner of the room, dark, unlit and gathering dust!

Omg these are brilliant 🤣

I used to skip morning lectures at uni to stay in bed, but felt such shame about it that when I got up, I'd put a coat on, leave my room and pretend that I'd just got home after the lecture if anyone saw me.

I've considered weeing in a glass instead of getting up before but on balance decided it wouldn't be worth it.

I have been known to buy books I already own on kindle

Ordered a pizza delivery because I couldn't be arsed to walk to the kitchen to cook one.

MIL still has her Christmas decorations up, not the tree but the garlands on the ceilings, it drives me mad!

7Worfs · 13/04/2023 22:25

On occasion I’ve thrown recyclable containers in the general waste bin if they were too much effort to wash.

It still gnaws at me.

Colleague would go for a 💩 and if taking a shower straight after he wouldn't wipe his arse, just hose it down in the shower 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

kittenkipping · 13/04/2023 22:26

I buy books on kindle and films on prime that I own on paperback or dvd- but I don't want to look for it/ plug the dvd player in.

I have also given myself utis as a result of reluctance to pee when I need to. Though that's less lazy and more my crazy cat lady ways that mean I can't bear to move when a cat has settled upon my lap

How do you even know this?! This is not the sort of conversation I could ever have with my colleagues...

A flatmate used to buy a new pair of jeans instead of using the washing machine in halls. Was easier to put them on daddy's credit card than to wait a few hours in the laundry.

Show quote history

I've no idea how it came into conversation I was head down working, I'm a supervisor and had lots on my mind , lots of disgusted gasps from the others and I was then asked by another team member " tell him why this isn't OK!"
Because the lad honestly didn't see anything wrong with it 😬😬😬

I buy pre peeled potatos. I know they cost more and I don’t care. Potato peeling is my most hated task of all time. I’d rather clean a hundred toilets.

I'm guilty of binning socks because I can't be bothered sorting them out. I can't buy crisps etc in because my DD will come in from work and eat a multi pack instead of cooking. I've had the next door neighbour knock to check we were in because the lights were off, but the back door was open because we are on our laptops/phone and couldn't be bothered to put the light on. I've had to buy baby bottle steriliser because my DD hasn't washed up in a few days.

You come clean my toilet and I'll peel your spuds?

I keep a pile of teabags on top of the teabag tin so I don't have to open it every time.

I just wear odd socks. Life is too short for matching socks.

My son told his classmates he was allergic to tinfoil so they would unwrap his sandwiches for him every day. He was 7! I dread to think what he will be up to when he's fully grown!

GloomySkies · 13/04/2023 22:35

Used to wait ages for the takeaway to be delivered instead of collecting. I was a fully mobile 20 something with no kids etc stopping me leaving the house. The takeaway was 150m from my door.
