Oh, the sweetness of sheer unapologetic laziness… Is it just a lack of willpower? Maybe it’s a state of mind, a hedonism-inspired lifestyle, a rebellion of modern kind. All jokes aside, calling someone “lazy” is somewhat an insult, especially in societies where hard work and productivity are valued highly (we’re looking at you, America!).
Having said that, a 2019 Pew survey found that a majority of Americans think people are lazier now than they used to be. But we can all discuss what being dubbed lazy actually means.
For some it's a lack of physical activity, for others it may be lack of will to do even the most routine and boring tasks. And while it’s totally normal to have a brief episode of idleness, if it lasts too long, you’re suddenly playing dangerous games.
So today, we’re diving deep into real-life examples of people succumbing to their laziness, by choice or accident. The result is an uncanny collection of pics that may make you laugh, infuriate you or give you a moment to reflect on your own lazy side.

Multiple Reasons Why You Should Put Your Cart Back And Not Be Lazy
Super frustrating to see this. My dad is a paraplegic due to a car accident. We both nearly died, no exaggeration. This type of c**p happens all the time. I’ve seen two healthy 19 yr old dudes park in a handicap parking space at the bank. Most folks excuses are, “oh I’ll only be one second”. NO ONE is ever just one second. The laziness & sense of entitlement is brewing rampant across the globe. This is not something unique to one race or moral beliefs. It’s a complete lack of common courtesy.
Laziness can lash out at us at every corner, especially at times when we need to be at our most productive. Think of work deadlines, important meetings and calls, bills to be paid and things to be done. Sometimes it’s little things that we can’t force our bodies to push through– from household chores to dragging ourselves to the gym.
And while we all have brief moments of idleness (which may feel pretty indulgent!), at some point it becomes a genuine problem. So to find out more about what’s actually happening in our minds when we’re lazy, how to cope with it we reached out to two experts: Christine Mitterbauer, a licensed and ICF-approved career, and life coach and serial entrepreneur, as well as Dr. Audrey Tang, a chartered psychologist, media spokesperson and author of multiple books, including "Be A Great Manager Now", "The Leader's Guide to Mindfulness."
People Who Do This Are Just The Worst
If You Have A Gender Reveal Party And Leave Confetti Everywhere For People To Pick Up, F**k You
I agree. The way I look at it, is you are announcing to the world, what genitalia your unborn child has. It’s sick. And why even bother, maybe your girl will feel they are male, or vice versa. The ways folks reveal this c**p is also by polluting the environment. It’s ironic, you celebrate your child, then damage the world you are bringing them into. It doesn’t make sense to me.

Gender reveal parties outside of your own property should be forbidden, seriously. Go ask your doctor about the gender, eat some cake, THE END.
Not that kind of gender reveal Mihai Mara.

This is just straight up littering. Whoever did this should be fined.
This infuriates me! If you are gonna pop pink and blue confetti cannons, do them in your own damn yard. OR, better yet, in your own house so none goes into your neighbor's yard!
Why would you. Do it this way?? Why would you have a gender reveal anyway? Don't we have enough going on trying to get folks' heads around the correct stuff to care about without this? We just bought yellow and green and called it good! The blue and pink thing is dumb anyway. Neither genders nor colors should be used to exclude one from the other over anything! Good gracious, there are bigger problems!
The problem started when they thought "We want to have a Gender Reveal party". I may be getting cranky in my old age, but it strikes me as an ignorant and insensitive thing to do, especially when they blow up things. Or leave trash behind. At least I hope they are made of paper and not some plastic with a 1000 years half life.
Attention parents to be: NOBODY GIVES A RAT'S A*****E ABOUT YOUR SPAWN'S GENITALS . KNOCK THAT STUPID PRETENTIOUS S**T OFF BEFORE WE ALL GANG UP ON YOU AND END IT OURSELVES !!!!!!
But what about family, and friends that care? I would care if one of my family members was having a baby

I’m still really confused about the gender reveal party thing - is it not a baby shower thing? Is it actually a separate party?
We live on one planet can you stop destroying it because you are self centered and think your above picking up your trash.
Any kind of party! Bday, retirement, anniversary, or a just because party, Confetti or cups in any darned color, CLEAN THAT ISHT UP!
2 GODDAMN F*****G WORDS: BIODEGRADABLE. CONFETTI. (at my wedding I used dried flower petals. <3)
i know a good smoke effect place and i'm friends with the maneger once i woman asked her if they could open a smoke bomb inside their apartment people are idiots
or just use leafs as the confetti it decomposed and you can paint them to show the gender
Why are they called gender reveal parties when they are actually sex real parties? Unless the parents or the doctors are mediums, there's no way to know the unborn baby's gender.
Gender reveal parties are for brain dead losers. Period. I never even had a baby shower with any of my kids, I don't like to force financial concern onto my friends and family. F*** your parties.
Have someone bake a cake with the frosting color inside FFS! This is all such BS.
Again l call people out on this crud! Also those that leave leftover balloons 🎈 and tails type stuff that goes into waterways & oceans and harm marine life
First off, Gender reveal should not have its own party; it should only be a part of the general new baby party . In this pic, they basically littered and turned their GOOD NEWS into TRASH for others to pick up. They should be charged for littering.
Maybe it should be inclusive of anytime you use public space for any reason and leave your trashy mess behind, that's UNCOOL. For example, family reunions at state parks, day at the beach, using picnic tables at roadside stops, and not packing up whatever you brought and cleaning it up to take out with you. However, I personally think gender reveal parties are one more way to commercialize pregnancy and ask for mo money mo money.
When did “reveal” become a noun? Maybe when a Trans person has The Talk with spouse, parents, family, friends or employer, now that’s a proper gender revelation event. And it never involves explosives, injury or pollution — at least in the physical sense. They come out, oh boy do they come out, in the psychological sense.
Gender reveal parties need to stop! Such a silly thing to spend money on while simultaneously harming the environment.
Granted, "gender reveal parties" are absolutely the worst, and need to stop. Also this applies to *any* event you hold in a public area. You wouldn't leave your private property like that, would you? Well then PICK IT UP when you're done. I can't tell you how much trash I've picked up from public land; glitter, spent fireworks, cigarette butts, beverage containers, food wrappers... the list goes on and on, but I should stop ranting now. Just please for the love of nature and all that is good, pick up your damn trash.
Every time, I go to the local park, there is trash everywhere! On the shelter tables, under the tables, on the ground around the shelter, and on the ground around the trash cans!! The trash cans are only 6 feet from the shelter! Why do people do this?! I end up filling up a grocery bag, a few times before I sit down...
i don't care if someone has a gender reveal party, as long as they're not causing inconveniences to others. cutting cake, popping balloons indoors, etc is ok, just clean up afterwards
Dunno why everyone that supports small parties are getting downvoted. Especially if you said that they didn't harm anything, people need to calm down against small harmless parties. Rage against the big, public, harmful ones.

I've always believed anyone who has a gender reveal party should be sterilized. Hand out some "it's a baby" cigars and be done with it.
It's biodegradable paper let it turn to soil instead of into a landfill
Good to know. I have stacks of old newspapers. Gonna toss them into the park! Now i know that it’s ok to litter with paper & other compostable materials, I’m on it! /s

Into the drains and the ocean, the plastic, artificial, confetti. Not good for the environment.

Chill the **** out. A lot of this type of confetti is designed to dissolve in water, so it will disappear when it rains. In fact quite a lot of wedding venues are now insisting upon it.

Did She Purchase Or Put Back Any Of The Books? Of Course Not
I hate people who do that! I am always the person to put their books back when I find them in the wrong place
Dr. Tang argues that laziness becomes a problem when you are either no longer contributing fairly to what you are receiving and requiring others to take the strain (with little thought to their wellbeing and efforts), or it is standing in the way of your own achievement of personal goals and desires.“In the latter case (and sometimes in the former) - this can speak to a lack of motivation, and, sometimes, the lack of desire to do anything can be a symptom of depression. In which case it can be helpful to ask yourself why this is happening,” she explained.

Don't Even Get Me Started On The People That Test Spray Paint Like This
This Is Embarrassing
So here are some important questions to ask yourself, according to Dr. Tang: “Think of a goal, have you got it?” and next, “Think of all the things you need to do to achieve it.”
“Small manageable chunks, with focus – you should be achieving that in no time – go you!”
“Seems straightforward, doesn’t it?” Dr. Tang asks. “And this is a goal you’ve had for some time, plus those steps are probably quite easy…”
Dr. Tang invites us to think about everything we did yesterday–”how many of those things contributed TO your goal or simply distracted you from it (Netflix binges, scrolling mindlessly through social media, any psychodramas you got caught up in)?”

According to Dr. Tang, our brains are amazing since they are capable of so much. “And yet we often apply their energy and drive ineffectively due to habit, laziness, or simply because we don’t know any other way.”
It’s important to realize that it is not the big choices that we make that shape our lives the most – “whether to buy that house, whether to take that job, whether to get into a relationship with that person… because they are clearly defined and they have an exit strategy,” she said and added that “it is the little choices you make every day that really make up who you are.”

This Idiot Hit Me While He Was Pulling Out Of A Gas Station, He Said He Didn't See Me
Dr. Tang gave an example: “Do you have the apple instead of the donut? Do you take 5 minutes for yourself, or do you say 'yes' to every person who asks? Do you choose to speak kindly to you, or do you berate yourself for 'just not being good enough?'”
According to the award-winning book author and spokesperson, “if we can focus on making as many little healthy choices as possible, we’ll be living the life we want, rather than seeking motivation to move towards it.”

Some of these make me feel great about some of the lazy things I do because theirs is lazy to the 10th power!
I feel like a lot of these could be clearly be explained and are just posted without context for rage bait. Also as someone with a disability who has done a few of the things in the list it honestly hurts that default assumption is lazy for things that could clearly be caused by disabled people trying to live in an abled world.
Well, that just reaffirmed my belief that humans are an ongoing mistake...
There was some sad examples of laziness, that I almost forgot how good it is, that humans are lazy. That gets us to invent washing machines, vacuum cleaners, lawn movers to use instead of tubs for washing by hand, brooms and scythes for the grass.
Okay but some of these comments were much worse, a lot of them could be understood in context I think
I can't understand the logic behind hanging poop bags on trees and fences and I see this everyday, so this is pretty common practice. Why? If you're really too lazy to take a bag with you, just leave the c**p on a ground and rain will wash it off. I'm not saying people should leave the poop, but putting it in the bag, and hanging it on a fence is extra work, and it's even more disgusting.
I didn't see your opinion anywhere, just this post. I, personally, don't downvote a differing opinion, just if someone is utterly being vile. BTW, I upvoted this post. Tried to negate some other àsshole!! :)
