I’m not too lazy to start things. Lots and lots and lots of things. But I’m too lazy to (yawn) . . . whatever . . . ---

I was too lazy to read the whole OP, could someone call me and tell me what it is about? Oh, call after 10pm, because by then I will have had my son bring me the portable phone. I don’t want to have to get up off the couch before then. Thanks. ---

Lazy also. Easier that way. Path of least resistance is generally the most pleasant. Except when it comes to dieting. Then I work very hard. Got to work hard at one thing at least… ---

Huh? Oh sorry I nodded off. What were we talking about again? Oh yea laziness. My laziness rears it’s, actually quite attractive head, whenever I’m faced with a task that is even the slightest bit more difficult than it should be. For example I get extremely lazy when it comes to dealing with government stuff, like registering an automobile, because they make the whole process so much more sodding difficult than it should be. Or rebate forms, filling out the paperwork and actually finding an envelope and stamps is just too much for me and I give up - I’m easily defeated by paperwork. Somehow though I always manage to motivate myself before I get into too much trouble. ---

Ahhhh and yes I have come home to the church of the “I can’t be arsed” I shall keep attending meetings till the power is cut off (anyday now cause I haven’t been arsed paying the bill…I figure once they start ringing I should pay) I just read the Ulimate recipie thread and while I am salivating all over the place (mmmmmmmmmmmmm yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) the thought of going through all that ho-ha for dinner has me so exhausted I must rest my head. ---

“Can’t be arsed”? Huh! You should be so lucky. I can’t even be _half_-arsed. ---

I’m not lazy. I just conserve energy. It’s part of being a cat. Yep. Now if you’ll 'scuse me… _Curls up and takes a nap on top of the nearest warm thing_ ---

Was that you on top of my tumble drier! There is hair all over everything and I can’t be arsed, half arsed or frigged removing it! Thanks No you are lucky those are tabby hairs …I so wish I could gather the energy to chase the lil shit. (oh yes the clean clothes are on top of the tumble drier cause I couldn’t be quarter-arsed putting them away…well they are going to be worn soon surely!) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Creaky \* > \*\*Lazy also. Easier that way. Path of least resistance is generally the most pleasant. Except when it comes to dieting. Then I work very hard. Got to work hard at one thing at least… \*\* Surely dieting mainly involves eating less? Its not that you’re working hard at dieting, its just you’re too lazy to eat much food. I’m lazy also. I’ve been meaning to get a new job for about 2 years. There’s also a (slowly shrinking) pile of clean clothes on the floor in my room which i’ve been meaning to hang up for about a week. I suspect though that this problem may go away if i leave it long enough, so i may be in luck. ---

My daily calendar (called “The Office”) had the following quote on last Friday’s page: > [@](#): > > A company director was being interviewed on TV. “What procedure do you adopt when a really tough problem comes up on the production side?” asked the interviewer. > The director replies: “We hand it over to the laziest man in the factory. He’ll find the easiest way of doing the job and then we simply adopt his method.” ---
