To think people aren't too tired just lazy... dinner

user1493819825 · 03/05/2017 15:18

I get that once a week maybe or even twice, people have had long days, myself included, out since 8/9am this morning, and get home not bothered to cook a big meal.... though isn't it just like washing? We need to eat, we need to wash, myself included i fell into a rut of eating crap (oven baked) food like breaded chicken oven chips, beans etc cause i was ''too tired'' to cook dinner, when in a matter of fact i was just lazy....

Seen someone comment back to something similar earlier, saying 'bloody hell people nowadays are too tired to cook a meal for themselves' what is the world turning into?
Not going against anybody, i've been guilty of it too and i can admit it was pure laziness.. it takes only a few minutes to throw together a quick/fresh/homemade meal..

my sister is still like that, 5 nights out of 7 she's too 'tired' to cook, even if i offer shed rather buy a takeaway or eat a disgusting cheap oven pizza :S ( i know loads are nice)

Ooh fish fingers chips and peas, good idea. But DS probably wants beans instead. All that extra effort, opening the tin... don't know if I can be arsed.

You sound like one of those insufferable knobheads who start a new regime and after about a week tell everyone else how it should be done Grin

user1493759849 · 03/05/2017 16:04

haven't offended anyone? no not at all Grin 90 messages in what, 20 minutes? Of all sorts of people going mad. funny really

Thanks for confirming what we all suspected.

You just posted this to goad people.

And no, people aren't offended, we are just amused and are humouring you, can you not see that?

HarrietKettleWasHere · 03/05/2017 16:05

Oh do get a life OP.

ExplodedCloud · 03/05/2017 16:06

flora bake your own bread? Are you mad? I get the 10 year old to do it...

Pat yourself on the back and congratulate your parents for at least having one perfect child.

Risotto definitely takes longer than 10 mins

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

OP, I work 23 hours a day without a break with my 2 year old quintuplets strapped to my back and I don't have an oven. Am I allowed to give my quintuplets microwave meals or is that lazy?
You just happen to use the word 'lazy'. I just happen to use 'judgemental'.
And stop all the faux innocent 'I don't know why everyone's so defensive, I'm just expressing an opinion' bullshit. You're being an arse and you know it.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 03/05/2017 16:07

Ah now it's admitted that it is a troll

KRG13 · 03/05/2017 16:07

I wouldn't want to eat a 10 minute risotto blergh

KRG13 · 03/05/2017 16:08

Oh see now I'm embarrassed for you

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 03/05/2017 16:09

You could have a few takeaways a week OP and use the saved time to brush up on how to use apostrophes. Not saying it's laziness on your part, but really this is something you could learn how to do if you could only motivate yourself. Children manage it, after all. Just saying……

Offler · 03/05/2017 16:09

Get a hobby? I work too bloody much! If I can't be arsed to cook dinner, how can I possibly fit in a hobby?

LunaAzul · 03/05/2017 16:09

Troll with a short attention span for admitting thread is fake. Yawn.

Kokusai · 03/05/2017 16:09

Just totally depends what you have on your plate, who you are cooking for, your budget etc.

It is really easy o knock up something tasty, simple and healthy IF you have the food already in and are just pleasing yourself. ANd super easy if you have the cash to buy 'cook by numbers' style food from e.g. watirose.

To think of a meal for multiple people, and needing to pick food up on the way home, and on a tight budget is much harder.

Get a bloody hobby grow up a little bit and don't spend all your time replying to some stupid, made up thread like this!

Right back at you with regard to making up nonsensical threads like this! Grin

watchoutformybutt · 03/05/2017 16:10

When the troll tells you to get a hobby...
Grin wtf.
