lazy things you do but wouldnt admit to

Me...when I’m feeling extra lazy I use two teabags together rather than pulling them apart so I have leverage to pull the dipped one out and into the bin, instead of using a spoon.

My brother has purchases a film on sky instead of going upstairs to get the dvd. We are all still astonished by that one!!

Anyone else?!

I used to bit take my medication if I was lying in bed and couldn't be bothered to get up. I now notice if I miss a day so have to be less lazy. 😣

When I do my last wee before going to bed, I leave my trousers round my ankles and penguin walk along the landing to bed. My belt buckle sounds like Christmas bells ( in my head). Beside my bed I step out of my trouser/knicker combo. I then do a moonwalk backwards to slip my socks off...and at the same time I say 'shamo' a la MJ...
I leave items on floor and get into bed...

Still makes my DH laugh....

When I'm running I always get a really runny nose. I can't be bothered to don't carry wads of tissue with me so I blow my nose on the inside of my running tops.

(Please note they go on a hot wash afterwards Grin)

I do the same ☺️

I keep three laundry baskets around the house, none of them are the holey/see through ones. They are for laundry....and any other other crap I can't be arsed to put away/throw in the bin. I have one laundry basket for clean clothes - that I can't be arsed to fold and put away. It's used as a wardrobe tbh

These are wonderful!

I shove any rubbish in my jeans or coat pocket. The bin is always too far. I've had a few fun washes when Ive forgotten to empty my jeans.

Op the movie one kills me!!

DumbleDorkReturns · 23/10/2020 20:56

Buy pre-chopped frozen veg / grated cheese / diced meat / ready cooked microwave rice & pasta Blush

BabyLlamaZen · 23/10/2020 20:58

Oh and using my hand to take out the teabag (only for me, I'm not that gross!) So hot but better than opening the cutlery drawer to get the spoon.

RainbowRaine · 23/10/2020 21:00

Frozen mash is amazing, never lumpy Abd so easy to cook in a microwave.

Frozen rice is also 4-5 mins in the microwave

RainbowRaine · 23/10/2020 21:01

I drink my tea with the tea bag left in

SnowHare · 23/10/2020 21:02

I have a very bad back and once I am upstairs for the day i get my DCs to carry things up and down the stairs for me (plates, cups, washing). I call them my 'worker ants'.

My DSis was horrified by this.

(It's part of their pocket money chores)

SnowHare · 23/10/2020 21:06

(It's a family joke by the way before anyone starts accusing me of child abuse)

God I wish my kids were still living at home....but you have given me an idea for the grandchildren!

They are very accommodating it has to be said. :) (Not yet teens....)

PawPawNoodle · 23/10/2020 21:13

Pick things up with my toes rather than bend over

Plussizejumpsuit · 23/10/2020 21:15

Love the worker ants! I also mostly don't bend down to take my socks off I step on the front kind of between my toes and pull my foot back. I do have to bend down to pick them up so it's truly lazy. I'll do also sometimes just leave them on the floor

nixso29 · 23/10/2020 21:16

You guys are my people! I put joggers and a big puffer coat on over my pjs if I have to go to the shop for milk/bread etc on a lazy day

EnidMatilda · 23/10/2020 21:21

Rather than make lunch and then eat it at the table I just stand in the kitchen eating bits for lunch deconstructed from the packets. I also drink orange juice from the bottle in the fridge.

In my house we call this 'monkey feet'

Stall I pick that up?

Don't worry I'll monkey feet it...

Dillo10 · 23/10/2020 21:25

I drink "lazy tea" when I really can't be bothered
Milk, tea bag and sugar in cup - add the hot water and go back to the sofa/bed/wherever where I wait for it to stew and then drink with the tea bag in

Everytime I take my car for an MOT I empty all the crap out of the car into a bin bag with the intention of sorting through it... I never do, I have about 5 bags of car shit in my wardrobe to look through now and I just can't be bothered
