Come share the laziest thing you have done lately.

No judgement. Those who want to feel better about themselves by bringing others down can head over to AIBU.

I've got a fantastic all singing all dancing pressure washer at home. I've just driven to the garage to use the pressure washer there for £4 so I didn't have to roll out the extension lead and the hose and plug in my fancy pressure washer.

I had a really long afternoon nap… and was woken by an earthquake!

I regularly buy coffee on the way to work because I can't be arsed to stand in front of my coffee machine for about 8 minutes.

That's called cooking in our house

Held my pee in for about 2 hours because I couldn’t be bothered to leave the sofa.

Ha ha ha. I can relate!! 😂

we have curtain robots. Just tell Alexa to close the curtains, life changing.

I was lying upstairs in bed when the delivery driver knocked at the front door. Refusing to expend the physical energy required to stand up, walk downstairs, and turn the handle, I opened the window, threw the house keys down to the driver on the pavement, and shouted for him to unlock the door, bring the delivery inside, and lock up on his way out.

I think this one wins!

Oh and last time I stripped the bedding off
my bed, I slept in it without bedding that night, as I forgot I'd stripped it and was so tired when I remembered, that I just thought 'fuck it' and climbed in and went to sleep. (Depression is a bitch)

We get that it is good saves loads of time

I cooked something in the slow cooker yesterday so all I had to do when I got home was microwave it. Mine does pale in comparison to some of yours though.

CB2611 · 21/09/2026 21:26

Used the foil packaging from the butter to spread butter on my toast because the dishwasher needed to go on and I couldn't be arsed washing a knife.

I have to confess a spot of plagiarism here.
This was stolen from a segment Johnny Vaughan did on radio x on a similar topic.

There was another one where someone admitted to waking up with a severe hangover and a severe thirst but was too lazy to get out of bed. Fortunately there was an iron on the bedside table and he drank the water from the iron. :)

Got an entire weeks shopping delivered and then ordered Uber Eats for lunch, as I couldn't be arsed to cook.

This sounds like me 😂

HatKat · 21/09/2026 21:34

I snapped a coat hanger pulling a jumper off it. Simply because I couldn't be arsed to unhook the hanger and do it properly 😃

AgentStrawberryFields · 21/09/2026 22:51

Some of these sound amazing! I would love a robot hoover but DP leaves too much clutter around for it to be effective 😫 and then wonders why I hate hoovering…

@PuppyMonkeycan I ask which healthy ready meals you buy online? DP ordered loads of Hello Fresh meals but whilst they are nice, it doesn’t cut out the hassle of actually cooking the ruddy things…! I’m often having to cook four separate meals per night with everyone having different tastes/ activity times, thinking the ready meal option may be the one for me!

PuppyMonkey · 22/09/2026 07:30

@AgentStrawberryFields if you look online for Frive and also Field Doctor, they’re the ones I’ve used. They give you lots of discounts for the first few weeks so you can try them out.

CurlewKate · 22/09/2026 07:36

I bought pre sliced mushrooms.
