What's the laziest thing your teen has ever done?

[Sunny4876]

There have been some highlighting moments in my 15yr old Dd1's young life but tonight takes the biscuit.
To cut a long story short,she mixed some perfectly edible food that I was planning to freeze into a dish of her sisters left over dinner instead of reaching into the cupboard below for a clean bowl
What's the laziest thing your teen has done to make me feel better and calm me down !!

I once paid my brother to tidy my room.

Mine was complaining that the sun woke him in the morning. I pointed out that closing the curtains before he went to sleep would help with that, but apparently he can't be arsed to do that.

She used to regularly text me from her room to ask me to bring her noodles, or a snack plate.
Her bedroom is right next to the living room since we live in a flat.
The worst thing is, I did it!

My teenage DD is so lazy that she can't be bothered to have a mid-afternoon nap! Although her lack of movement when not napping isn't vastly different from actual napping

DSS once "made" himself lunch- dry crumpets. He managed to toast them but was too lazy to butter them. Apparently he likes them like that....

I just love these!!!!!!!

Threw away four mugs from her room because they had mould in the bottom and she couldn't be bothered washing them.

It was far too much effort for Dd to put her own laundry in the washing machine, but she had the perfection solution, help herself to my knickers/tights/socks/anything else she wanted.
If I complained, it was my fault for not doing her washing, I found that quite difficult as I got screeched at if I even looked vaguely the direction of her room, never mind going in it

When mine was a teen, she once skyped me from her bedroom to ask me if I could get her a drink. We live in a small bungalow and her bedroom is 10 steps away from the kitchen.

Managing to step out of socks, pants, shorts and trousers in one go and leave them intact on the floor - a bit like an aerial view of arctic roll - looking down at the layers.

My DH does this. He's 49 🙄

Oh these are funny! And reassuring I thought I was a terrible mum as son leaves his knickers on trousers next to wash basket, and he once had to lie down in the corridor as the living room was too far 😅

When dd moved out she left a box of her stuff in the shed. After a couple of years we were having a clear out and she said we could just chuck it if we wanted. I went through it and it contained:-

• A plastic bag full of mouldy rubbish she couldn’t be bothered to put in the bin
• Various treasured toys and photos she’d forgotten she put in there
• A huge pile of dirty crockery that she couldn’t be bothered to clean before moving out

Oh and even I was cleaning her room the day after she first moved out, I found she had a whole drawer given over to takeaways she hadn’t finished and couldn’t be bothered to throw away

A dd’s room was mostly a no-go area for me and dh because of the mess. (Actually a no-even-look area for dh, to save his blood pressure.) Now and then when crockery was getting short I’d have to go on a hunt for cereal bowls with Ready Brek dried on like cement, mugs with dregs of mouldy tea in the bottom, etc.
Happy days....

I can't work out what you are describing in you OP. Can you explain again for thoes of use who are still half asleep? Are you saying she combined not yet served out leftovers with the leftovers from her sisters bowl of the same meal contents? So just pooling the leftovers into an existing bowl to save? Or were they different meals? Was she then eating it all or saving it? And what would the non-lazy thing have been for her to do? I'm overly invested in understanding this so some reason.

As a teen I would sit on the sofa to hoover

I remember that when I lived at home as an older teen, I would drive ridiculously short distances like 200 yards to the post box, corner shop, fish and chip shop etc as I CBA to walk. This being the olden days before the existence of Deliveroo etc.

Worst thing was that I either couldn't always park when I got there, or on a couple of occasions I accidentally locked my keys in my car (before the days of remote entry) and had to walk home to get the spare set of keys).

My son googled "how to make money fast for lazy 12 year old boys".

When dd is in the bath often calls me to put extra hot water in because too lazy to stretch up and do it herself.

I refuse.

@somuddled I had made chicken curry for dinner which I served with rice,my youngest had eaten her meal and had put her dish with some leftover curry and rice by the sink,my teen wanted the pan I had the curry in (I had cooked enough to freeze a batch for a later date) I told her if she wanted the pan that quickly to empty the curry into a clean bowl but bending down was too much effort and she emptied into her sisters leftover dinner.
It's probably not the laziest thing she's ever done sadly but definitely wound me up the most.

DS asked DD to do the washing up for him because he was busy. For unknown reasons she obliged without asking questions.

She was not happy with her brother when she found he was 'busy' watching TV

My son does the dry crumpet thing! He’ll eat them with butter if I’ve made them though, funny that 🤔

He’ll sit in his room and starve all day rather than come down and make himself a sandwich or whatever and then whine to me about being hungry when I get back from work as if I’ve deliberately deprived him 🙄

He’s only 16 but at this rate he’s going to need husband boot camp before some poor girl gets lumbered with his lazy ass.

I don’t know what the issue is as my younger teen isn’t like this at all.

😮 is there such a thing as "husband boot camp". I know a few teens to men who I would like to send.

Ds doesn’t need to clean his teeth in the morning as he is wearing a mask, no one can see them and he cleaned them the night before

He argued this for five minutes before giving in yet it was my fault he was late for school

Will announce he is staving as soon as I get home

I've got a photo somewhere of Dd with snacks balanced all the way up her arm because she couldn't be bothered to put them on a plate.

I’ve remembered another!
3 teens who drank water milk and weak diluted orange squash like it was going out of fashion
I bought a large fridge door jug and it was always filled with diluted squash. The rule was whoever had the last bit refilled it. There was always 1/2” left in the bottom funnily enough so that said boy “ didn’t have to refill it as it wasn’t empty yet” every single time
I suppose I was quite lucky in that the majority of the teen years arguments were over the “ not quite empty but not enough for a cupful” squash jug!
