STS: In-actions of the Lazy Folk

Posted by Mrs Zeee on 08/08/2009

Lazy folks and their respective in-actions drive me up a wall. This week’s STS topic is “6 things people do that you think are beyond lazy” and I am all too happy to partake in the exercise.

Here goes nothing, literally…

1) Lazy customer service people are unacceptable. And they are everywhere you go! Why don’t you just be straight with me and say that instead of actually checking for the item I requested, you opted to tell me they were sold out. I would respect you more for owning-up to your laziness.

2) Frequent fast or frozen-fooding is L-A-Z-Y. Ok, we all opt for the easy grab once in a while, but if you have a functioning kitchen and a pair of arms, preparing a fresh meal can be just as quick and easy — plus it’s more affordable and better for you.

3) People who drive around the parking lot in multiple loops to get the closest possible spot…HELLO? not-so-Lil’ Miss Loopdy Loop if you just parked a little further away and walked, you’d be there already AND you are waisting unnecessary fuel!

4) Those who play fetch with their kids. Newsflash: We do not have children so that they can be our go-fers. If you need something, get it yourself; don’t order around your child every time. You are sending the wrong message to your kids and that makes you lazy AND stupid.

5) The hygienically challenged. Not everyone is a beauty queen but hygiene is not only a pleasant practice, but a healthy one. Brush your teeth, invest in a comb and do us all a favor and bathe on a regular schedule. If you have the means to be presentable, please do so. There is no excuse to the contrary…

6) I saved the best for last — those who refuse to change the toilet paper roll. For all of you lazy bones who leave the last thin layer of TP on the roll in hopes that the next unlucky soul will have to replace it, I have a special wish for you:

May you one day experience an unexpected rumble of the bowels while picnicking with the upper crust and dash hopelessly to find an available commode only to realize at that critical moment that there isn’t a sheet of TP to be found…

Did I mention you are wearing white linen?

Happy Lazy Saturday :)

I love the driving around the parking lot one. I don’t get it either.
Amanda said,

LOL this is the 2nd one I’ve seen about the toilet paper roll. I’m betting it’s not the last either. In our house the toilet paper roll goes on the back of the toilet. When we actually put it on the roller, our 2yo sees that as an invitation to go in and unroll the whole thing. If it’s off the roller he leaves it alone.

I totally agree about lazy customer service.

Have a great Saturday.

Hee Hee on the toilet paper one. I won’t tell you how often that happens in our house. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that one. Good list.
Renee@Always a Southern Girl said,

Your #3 cracked me up. This lady at my job is trying to lose weight but always parks in the closest parking spot to the building and will never walk to the mailbox because she only wants to exercise during exercise time.

And people at the office who take the last DROP of water from the cooler and don’t replace the bottle. Lazy bastards.
