Your examples of bone idle laziness!

[TightPants]

School mum lives down my road. I actually live further from the school than she does and it’s a 7 minute walk for me and DC.
This mum (who is not disabled in any way btw) actually gets in her car and drives her DC to school. I see her parking up back at home on my way back so she’s not dropping DC on the way to work either. This is morning.
WTF!

At the primary school parents with disabilities can drive up the school drive and park in the car park. The lady I gave as the example does not do this. She parks where children are crossing, scurries out at a pace then hops back into her 4 by 4 to complete the final 25 yards of her journey home!!

I love treating DH like my personal butler. Fetch and carry, making my dinner.

Took a long time to train him up, but it's paid off in the end.

He knows he's onto a good thing so I don't get too many whinges and as staff, he gets special privileges

OP ignore all the haters, I love your thread and some fab ideas for bone idleness on here. Definitely added the ideas onto my NYResolution list!

If people have a disability then it's definitely not bone idleness of course.

Get a grip OP!

My older sister lives a couple of minutes from her daughter's school. She drives because she comes to my house to pick up my 2 kids who attend the same school. We only have 1 car and if my DH is using it then I would have to walk with my 3 children and push a pram up a hill to get to the school. I have physical health problems which stop me from doing this but which you wouldn't know about unless I told you.

Well mother the point of a blue badge is to be able to do these things that make your life more manageable without being judged, isn’t it? How do you manage to park close to things without a blue badge, if disability means you can’t walk far for whatever reason?

You can either get short distances on foot or you can’t. If you can’t, and you don’t want to use your badge then you have to expect the same judgement as a non disabled person I’m afraid. Don’t expect us to be mind readers.

Some days DH drives to drop/collect DD1 (10-15min walk) because she sometimes bolts and has no sense of road safety (she has ASD). For the same reason, when we walk 2yo DD2 has to go in the pushchair even though she could walk that distance as it leaves me more able to stop DD1 running if necessary. I'm sure this makes us look incredibly lazy too.

You don't know the full situation of her and her child. People would say I'm not disabled (and I'd agree) but there are days when a 5 minute walk is too far. I don't shout my needs from the rooftop but that doesn't mean I don't have them.

Maybe she has some anxiety about doing the school run, doesn't want to bump in to certain people for example? I speak from experience. It's awful. Back then I would have worried too about people judging me. So let's just live and let live a bit eh? You never know what's going on with other people, so try to dig deep and find compassion for others rather than defaulting to passing judgement (especially to the extent that you would start a post because of it, which I can only assume is to try and rally support for what you must know deep down is an unkind way of thinking).

I was telling my sister today that my younger son (20) will scoop clean clothes up from wherever I’ve stacked them in his room & put them back in the washing, rather than put them away in his wardrobe. She admitted that as a teenager she did the same. That is really lazy! !

I've text my DH downstairs while I'm upstairs, to ask him to make me a cup of tea.

When I'm changing my dd2s sheets, she will deliberately disappear, so she doesn't have to come and put the cuddly toys back on the bottom of her bed. Shes 11.

Op I had a woman live down the street from me who did this. One winter she got stuck in the car as her doors had frozen over. I'm guessing she used boiling water to de ice her car.
I did have a bit of a Hah twat moment at her expense

@Mummyoflittledragon I have a disability myself FFS.
Sometimes I’m really unwell.
I just don’t bang on about it constantly.

I try to see a bit of humour in the world.

I do actually know about disability both personally and professionally, so I don’t need the bloody lecture.
Thanks.

Thanks to those who’ve participated in the spirit in which this thread was started!

There are lazy people about. I’m one of them (taking lots of notes from some of you!) But this just amazed me.

But as mentioned above, maybe I should have put the ‘all absolutely ok if any kind of disability is involved’ disclaimer

It seems that absolutely any post on AIBU these days causes nostril-flaring indignation and insults from some.

Grim. Dh eats the whole apple, seeds & all as he can't be bothered taking the core to the bin.

I have echo dots all over the place so I don't have to switch stuff on & off

@TightPants So?

I'm really lazy. My loft stairs are often covered with stuff as I can't be arsed to walk up them and back down again
The car thing really pisses me off, though. It's shit for the environment, and it's a shit example to set the kids. It's also dangerous. At my DS's school, there are a host of lazy fuckers who think it's fine to pull up on the zig zags or in the middle of the road so their darlings don't have to walk too far. Fuckers

So what? @SuperMeerkat

I wouldn't say eating the apple core is lazy, I do it because I like eating the pips.

@vodkaredbullgirl , I do this. When teenagers are plugged into headphones it's the easiest way. Other than turning off WiFi.

I hardly bang on about it constantly if very few people know about it. You are more fortunate than me if you are only unwell sometimes. I’m largely bedridden.

I don’t publicise that I have a blue badge either.

We used to have camping holidays when I was little. It would be the job of my brother, sister and I to carry the plastic tub of plates and cups to the washing up place each evening and do the dishes.

Every evening my sister would dissappear into a loo, and reappear after we had finished washing everything. 30yrs later we still joke about her going off if there's any dirty plates to me shifted. We found out at Christmas from her DH she does it at home. She uses paper plates during the day at home as they don't have a space for a dishwasher.

I used to live in the next road to the school I taught at. Would have been a 1 minute walk. My car was parked in the school car park every day. I had a parent comment that I must be "the most ridiculously laziest teacher ever".

However my childminder was on the other side of town so what was actually happening was I drove past the school to the childminder, dropped off my DD, drove back to school and, rather than drive past the school to my drive way, I swung into the car park.

Next door neighbour on Christmas Day came out of the house arguing with her partner because she wanted to drive to her parents house. They lived 2 minutes walk away. Partner was arguing it would be quicker to walk.

She won
