‘What’s the laziest thing you’ve ever done?’ – 17 hilariously slothful and occasionally entirely relatable tales

Laziness may be one of the seven deadly sins, but it’s also just an inherent part of human nature.

At one time or another we’ve all pushed the boundaries of laziness. This prompted Wonderful-Cow-9664 to ask the learned folk over at r/AskReddit about the laziest thing they’ve ever done. And they even got the ball rolling by sharing a story of their own:

‘I’m having a lazy day off today, I wanted to watch something on Netflix, but the remote was on the coffee table at the opposite end of the sofa, so I watched it on my iPad instead.’

And some of these hilariously slothful stories are so outrageous they deserve an award. If only they could be arsed to come and collect it.
