‘What’s the laziest thing you’ve ever done?’ – 22 people who took being bone idle to heroic lengths

We can all be a lethargic bit idle now and then, cutting corners to achieve something, or simply not being arsed to do it all. But some people go beyond being a bit slothful and turn laziness into an absolute art form. Over on the AskUK subreddit, user Wonderful-Cow-9664 asked ‘What’s the laziest thing you’ve ever done?’ and followed it up with their own incredibly torpid example:

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.

Which had people languidly queueing up to demonstrate their own incredible indolence.
