Me and my friend have bet whose Halloween costume would be the laziest. And it was a tie. Ta-da. And now without the pun. Me and my friend have bet whose Halloween costume would be the laziest. And it really was a tie. I came nekkid with weener between my ass cheeks claiming, that I was a hot dog. He came nekkid with an olive stuffed in his bellybutton and claimed, that he was a pizza. ---

> [@bup](#): > > 😕 The t-shirt exists - I’ve seen people wearing them Or are you saying your piece of paper that says ‘candy’ is the urban legend? Are you really confused? First of all, of course the TShirt exists. Like I said, It’s part of an old joke. (BTW, What ISN’T on a TShirt these days?) Second of all, I never said it was an urban legend. I said it sounds a lot like an old joke. I’m saying that I have heard a lot of people claim that someone came to their door with a shirt that simply says ‘costume’ and I just don’t think it’s happened as much as its been claimed. If you want to say I’m claiming that as an Urban Legend; that’s OK by me. To reiterate, the OP is part of a joke is so old that have posted it as my Facebook status every Nov 1st, for several years. ---

> [@BMalion](#): > > I find when people wear jeans and a sports jersey quite lame. I admit it, I’ve done that. Place I used to work insisted that everyone dress up for Halloween. I wasn’t feeling it one year and I just threw on my Cubs jersey and cap. I did at least take my eyeliner and draw on some eyeblack. ---

Right-handed people typically wear a wrist watch on the left wrist. I’m left-handed, so I always wore my watch on the right wrist. (past tense because I long ago stopped wearing a watch at all). One Halloween I put my watch on my left wrist and went as a right-handed person. ---

One year in high school Halloween fell on a Saturday, so the marching band director had us do Friday’s half-time show in costume. My lazy costume consisted of a trench coat over a flesh-colored swim suit, a fedora, and white tube socks & shoes. I was a flasher. To be even lazier, I wore it again the following year. And laziest, I wore it again a few years later in college. ---

One year my sister wore a bunch of different name tags and she was an "identity crisis. " I’ve also read of affixing many jars of thyme to your belt and being a “waist of thyme.” (Groan inducing, I know. ) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/laziest-costume-youve-ever-seen/639080.md?page=3)
