Do you pick up the phone and call your grandmother without a second thought? Do you clean your room without waiting for it to first turn into an inhabitable toxic wasteland? Do you write all of your essays with plenty of time to spare? Then it sounds like Marvel might have found a new superhero, because very few people have the strength to resist the persuasive powers of procrastination.
As you can see from this hilarious list of posts compiled by Bored Panda, procrastination is, for most of us mere mortals, an unfortunate yet inevitable part of our existence. Still, although it doesn't help us to get anything done, it does at least give us something to laugh about. Are you a master procrastinator? Then let us know in the comments below...whenever you find the time that is...

I know right! Even if I really don't want to do something, I can't do anything else without completely freaking out about whatever it is that's due.

I would do that too, I have slight OCD, but I'm often too lazy so it's conflicting
Trisha Dragon 8 years ago
You don't have OCD, you just prefer things orderly. The "c" in OCD is for compulsive. Trust me, there is no too lazy for someone with OCD to place something in it's "proper" place or to complete or repeat a ritual behavior. It's honestly torturous not to indulge in whatever is compelling you. A lot of people with OCD are strait up slobs. Hoarders for example. Let's say someone tied you to a chair and trashed and moved everything in your room around th en just left. Orderly folks will be annoyed AT, somebody with OCD will be contemplating chewing off an arm 10 minutes after he leaves. Trust me, you don't want this s**t. Not even in jest.

As a person with *actual* OCD I'm tired of people calling themselves OCD when all they are are neat freaks, a**l retentive or they just like things orderly. The same goes for any other type of mental illness or neurodiversity. "I'm so depressed today." No, you're not. You're sad. You're not "a little autistic" when you are at a loss for words or didn't get the joke, you're not "so ADHD" when you have a hard time concentrating on something today. Just STOP.

Studies have shown that customers are drawn to bins of jumbled merchandise, so store management almost certainly ordered some employee to re-jumble these items.
Katie Glenn 8 years ago
I did this with a cheap movie bin at a Movie Gallery in the 90s. Th manager yelled at (15 yo, social anxiety sufferer, depressed) me and I cried. My sister's boyfriend, best friend, and her boyfriend all started shouting at him while my sis took me outside. That manager for instantly regrettedhis decision and we all left with free candy and movie rentals.

I learned this lesson a long time ago, and if you are hooked on adrenaline it also satisfies your addiction. Once you know how long it takes to complete a job, its possible to wait until the last minute before going into overdrive in order to complete it. The thrill you receive from the rush to finish, and completing it on time, justifies your next procrastination. ;D

This is so unfortunately me, then I blame it on a perfectionist thing and it just gets worse. Especially becuase my iPads fast so when it's 6:00 it's actually 5:57 and so Ill wait until 6:03 but then it doesn't feel right XD HAHAHAHAHA....Ha, I have homework to do right now.

HILARIOUS! And a little too close to home. I'm 50 yrs. old and consider myself pretty organized...Well, I love making lists. I've accomplished quite a bit in life...but the things I really really don't want to do, I can still procrastinate getting them done, just like when I was in college...cause, "Hey, there's no professor/parent/boss who's going to make me do it now!" And even though it wreaks havoc on our mental state, don't we feel like a freakin' champion when we somehow/someway complete a task in an impossibly small amount of time?

The nurses let me stay in my regular room to watch the Friends finale (in 2004) before moving me to the birthing room. They could have let me binge-watch the entire series again based on the actual time it took my daughter to be born after that, but it's the thought that counts.

I was between level 3 and over 9000. I remember faking reading my essay as I was just making it up as I spoke in front of the whole class. In the end the teacher praised my work as something visibly very well constructed and planified, encouraged the other students to follow my example and gave me the maximum grade. Two decades later here I am writing this instead of doing the 1 million things and a half that need to be done before sunset. Thug life.

The key to successful procrastination is to know one's capabilities, and the minimum time required to complete a job. Once that is established, the wait is justified, and the exhilaration of the speedy completion, makes it all worth while. :D

Some call it procrastination/laziness. I call it efficiency. As long as I know the minimum time to do something NOT fun (but with a decent output, mind you), I would honestly prefer to set aside more time and effort to things I actually find fun. :P
