While “sloth” might be a sin, everyone has that one day where they simply can’t be bothered to put in even an ounce of effort. While often this just means bedrotting and perhaps some snacks instead of dinner, certain folks do get very creative at doing nothing.
Someone asked “Tell me the laziest thing you’ve done, I mean genuinely the most diabolically lazy thing that would disgust the average person,” and netizens shared some truly unhinged stories. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to add your own thoughts and stories in the comments below.

Dressed for school the night before and woke up in the clothes

But don't the clothes smell. I have always found the clothes that you sleep in , give out this peculiar smell which is like a tell tale.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 7 months ago
I imagine it depends on the person. Some people get night sweats. Some don't. I do have a tendency to drool, though, so if I slept in my next-day's clothes and ended up drooling on them, they'd smell. Otherwise, for some people, they might not enstinkenate their clothes overnight.

I never did this for school, but I did it for Saturdays so I could get out quicker. Minutes mattered when escaping the house.

I only lay out my clothes if I have a really early flight. I know me and don't trust myself to make good decisions at that hour otherwise.

Did this with my kids when they were small and the mornings were too slow

That's not actually lazy since the same amount of effort was expended. It was more of a time (mis)management issue.

They might be evening shower people. Chances are they are seeing as they’re going to the lengths to sleep in their clothes to get some extra zzzs.

Wouldn't say diabolical but one time I waited like 20mins for a bus to arrive when it would've taken me 7mins to walk home
Tussilago 7 months ago
I was very pregnant and tired heading for the doctor. The bus app refused to show me how to get there by bus and just said "walk 600 meters" I couldnt walk 600 meter, hardly 50 at that point. Two nice goth girls helped me make up a plan with 2 buses to get me there without walking. Took 20 minutes but in my pace it was still faster then walking.

Ate ice cream with a credit card
Bob Brooce 7 months ago
It makes even more sense if you finish the carton, because the straight edge will let you scrape almost all of he ice cream off of the carton.

I just swallow my gum when I don’t wanna get up to throw it out
Caffeinated Ape 7 months ago
The whole "takes seven years to digest" thing is a myth anyway. We can't digest it, that part's true, but it just safely passes through the body.
#19
Used a sea shell I had in my drawer to eat ice cream instead of going to get a spoon
#21
When someone messages me on vinted asking for measurements of something I’ve listed, I find someone selling the exact same item and message them asking for measurements to reply with
Caffeinated Ape 7 months ago
That's both lazy and yet somehow more work? At least, I'd find contacting a third party harder than just measuring the thing.
#22
I was doing the dishes I was almost finished there was like a fork to wash ONLY ONE FORK! I just threw it away because it was too much for me

I live out of my suitcase. (I went on holiday last summer)

Sometimes when the toilet paper runs out i’ll use the empty paper toilet paper roll thing to wipe

If you're not flushing the cardboard (& I hope you're not) then dealing with its disposal actually sounds like more work. This whole concept is gross

Went to wilderness therapy and refused to carve my own spoon so I ate with random sticks I found for two months

I threw an air up away because I was too lazy to clean it and there was mold starting to form

This is the 2nd time duvet cover is on this list. I think I might go buy one and just give up making my bed.

"Bought new underwear to avoid doing laundry?" You don't wash your new underwear?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 7 months ago
So when I was a kid, my mom ALWAYS washed new clothing before we were allowed to wear it. Didn't matter where the clothing was bought from, if it was in a package, etc. So I sort of learned that behavior. Now that I'm 43, I was over at my childhood home where my mom (80) and my sister (49) still live, and I watch in absolute horror as my mother shows me some new shirts she bought and just puts one on to wear for the day, right out of the shopping bag. I say "But you always told us to wash new clothes before wearing them!" She deadáss looks me in the eye and said, "I cared then. I don't give a sh!t any more." XD

Some of these sound like depression rather than laziness. Other require a certain amount of money, like throwing reusable items away and "just" buying new ones. Or using energy and water for a another washing machine cycle of already clean laundry. Guess this lazyness is for the privileged (enough) ones.

I worked really hard for decades and invested my money carefully so that I could retire with a paid-off house & car and enough money to live very comfortably for the rest of my life. Now I can relax and do whatever I want. I call this "long-range laziness".
Matt Blakeley 7 months ago
As other people are saying, a lot of these are signs of clinical depression. The good news is those people aren't lazy. The bad news is that they are de@d inside.

Although I agree, some did make me giggle as I have known people who were simply lazy and admitted it.

Maybe they do, so how about not shaming them? Not everybody is chill about admitting they’re depressed.
