“And I Thought I Was Lazy”: 50 People Who Took Laziness To Infuriating Levels (New Pics)
While I am not an expert, I want to believe that being lazy is normal and natural if not taken to an extreme. The extreme being a degree where it’s not just inconvenient but also counter-intuitive, self-harming, and it actually starts affecting other people.
Someone being so lazy that it infuriates you fits the bill, and that’s the name of the game in this listicle. Folks online are sharing times when they found someone being so lazy (or the legacy thereof) that it hurt their brain, either figuratively or literally because they probably had to suffer the consequences.

Laziness is considered to be a lack of individual effort in order to perform or act as expected. So, being capable of doing something, but choosing not to, fits that criteria.
Some psychologists, however, point out that there’s another, synonymous term, procrastination, that has a fine nuance to distinguish it from laziness. With this one, it’s choosing not to do something after having had intentions of doing it. Laziness, on the other hand, is never having had intentions of doing it in the first place.

We should also ban the launch of balloons at celebrations. Sometimes hundreds are released, ending everywhere and being a real deadly threat for animals and the environment. And also ban the chinese lantern with the tealight inside. They can start fires

I really wish ppl would reTHINK about using confetti outdoors. Oh, that's right, ppl that use confetti outdoors what they're thinking is oh well somebody else can clean it up at least it's not in my house cuz then I would have to clean it up but they don't stop to think about the fact that it has to be picked up every little piece and a lot of that confetti is not sustainable it's not good for outdoors like I love confetti too but I've never bought it because I've had to pick it up and because of that I will never buy it I won't use it it's a nice novel idea but it's not nice to have to pick it up and it's not nice when somebody else thoughtlessly uses it outdoors and then leaves it for someone else to pick up because it won't get picked up

Plastic is an endocrine disruptor. It gets into the food chain. People eventually have it in their bodies. Fetuses develop with changes due to endocrine disrupting microplastic particles. So don't wonder why current generations are sexually different on average that the generations born before 1970.

The Way A Mom And Her Two Kids Left The Shoe Isle In Target
Anyway, if you were to say that procrastination is a bit of an epidemic among folks, you wouldn’t be wrong. Studies have shown that up to 20% of adults feel that they struggle with procrastination. That goes double (well, double and a half) with college students, of whom 50% have trouble with partaking in the forbidden fruit. And this applies to everyone, even the most hard-working individuals out there.

The causes of procrastination come in many shapes, flavors and sizes. One of the more surprising finds among researchers is that it can serve as a coping mechanism. Not for coping with time management issues—rather for emotion management.
For some, finishing a task of a job might bring up anxiety or even a general feeling of avoidance. Putting it off, though, helps tackle the problem. Heck, procrastination can be interpreted as a rational reaction to an unpleasant situation, hence putting it off until you’re ready.

People Sweat, And That's Fine, But Who Leaves Their Puddles Behind Like This Without Wiping Down?
Another reason why procrastination is a thing is, in simple terms, it’s boring and icky. The brain learns that habitual behaviors and actions can be skipped by means of procrastinating, instead going for things that would be more enjoyable.
Interestingly enough, age can be a factor too. Because we have this thing called the prefrontal cortex, which is all about planning, decision making and concentration (among other things), having one that hasn’t matured yet might lead to some more rash decisions, like skipping out on doing work now without considering the impact.

Other reasons include more run-of-the-mill explanations, like lack of energy, willpower and sleep, having learned laziness from someone, distraction and some folks might just be born with it. Yes, you can have personality characteristics, like low conscientiousness and impulsivity, that might make you more prone to putting things off. Heck, being a perfectionist can have the same effect—it kinda ties in with the whole unpleasant emotional baggage of doing a task because of the self-imposed high standard.

The Hairbrush My Daughter Leaves Hanging In The Shower
But, to be or not to be lazy is trivial. The key question here is whether it’s good or not. The fact that it can get you into trouble because of the habit of not doing stuff on time or at all, being unreliable as a human being and that snowballing into bigger issues is definitely not good. But does it directly affect health and well being? Science says it doesn’t know (yet), what is known is that it can prevent positive behaviors from happening. You know, like wanting to exercise and be healthy!

How My Sister Leaves The Bathroom
Alexia 1 year ago
Oh, that's how my former colleague used to leave our common desk. Sheets of paper, pens, clips, agendas, plus personal items such as lipstick, comb, mirror, half-eaten croissant etc. Until one day when I decided I had enough of it. I took a big plastic bag and put all of her scattered items inside. She was outraged and escalated it to our manager, who was on my side (moreover, he said I could throw all that "garbage" away from then on). You wouldn't believe how tidy she became after that :)))
And because we’re human—i.e. complex beings—perception often throws a spanner in the works in understanding whether we’re truly lazy or not.
Say a person has a daily to-do list of 20 things, but only ends up going through maybe half of them by the end of the day. In that case, of course there’s going to be that view that we’re lazy—just look at all the stuff you’ve been slacking off on! In reality, however, that’s not being lazy, but rather having far too much to do trying to exceed a physical and mental limit. If anything, that’s working too hard.

Someone Locked His Bike On My Bike Without Even Trying To Lock It To The Stand
SheamusFanFrom1987 1 year ago
I'd take a picture first as proof then claim both bikes. Technically not your fault because you had to remove your bike while another was stuck to it.
Considering all of this, face the fact that being lazy isn’t bad and it’s unavoidable. Consider it forced rest. As for how to get the biggest bang out of your buck by not letting procrastination and laziness take the top spot, try these on for size:
Prioritize your tasks to make sure time-sensitive ones are done first; punch down larger projects into smaller, more approachable tasks; limit your distractions at the workplace; and if that doesn’t help, create an environment that helps you focus, i.e. music.

That’s foul. TWO different organic substances (husks and saliva) that will ROT. Organic stuff decays, people. It doesn’t just go into magical stasis. Eurgh.
The list goes on: don’t forget to take regular breaks to reward your brain with something less daunting and more stimulating; keep your focus on the end-goal as it might motivate you more; move around or exercise during breaks to keep the right chemicals circling around in you; track your healthy habits, like 'I’ve done X amounts of work' for context and self-reflection; and you can always get a buddy to hold you accountable.
Though, keep in mind that this might also be a situation of Monopoly, where you begin the game as friends and then become sworn enemies because Cheryl nabbed Park Place.

Absolutely life-threatening. This happens when palettes are not properly secured. Once a driver set down such a "package" at my company - we refused to accept it, as we saw no way how to safely unload the palettes without someone getting hurt. After an hour of angry phone calls and multiple threats of legal action the logistics company finally sent some people to deal with it. They were cursing all the time.

A sad yet easy conclusion to such post is that only harsh punishment and shaming stop trashy behaviors. In the cleanest countries, if you throw a paper to the ground, you get a very harsh fine. That’s how you make people assimilate respect in their daily behavior. Education clearly isn’t enough, some people only fear punishment.

I would like to clarify some of these. this is in no way an apology post to excuse all these horrendous acts, but rather to clarify that we are not ALL like this. How some people can be seen as lazy, they might just have something going on in their head. I myself have ADHD, so some of the things like these I've done, have not been a case of "i dont wanna do it, its not my job to do this, its the staff's" its just that ive forgotten after zoning out for a while,and i dont realize it. But this is not the case for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE ON THIS LIST. for the kids that leave stuff a wreck, their excuse that i find only works up until maybe like, 9-10 years old because they just earned their own responsibilites is that they are a kid, and dont know any better, but its pointless to argue against entitled parents who let them do that, until the aforementioned age. Just found out about word limits, so im going to make each point seperate in the replies.
Your local pyromaniac 1 year ago
For the tourists on the plane who just left it in utter dismay their excuse is probably "i had a long flight, i dont wanna do any work". if you've had a long flight, you are probably a tourist FROM canada going here( take my advice,please dont) or visiting family who lives here, not going TO canada, so that excuse isnt valid. You are a grown a*s adult, clean up after yourselves, especially if you are a tourist. people like you are the reason why other countries have to give locations either A: a ban or at the very least a time limit on tourism and tourist hours, or B: a really heavy fine on littering and stuff like that, the latter of these two is probably more likely. Im disgusted by those people.
