I have an extension on my browser called HoverZoom. When someone posts a picture link, I can see the picture by simply hovering over the mouse with my cursor. I find this handy for forms like the dope that disallow image embedding. But I’ve also noticed that it means if I’m on a site like reddit, I only look at the stuff that shows up on hover. I’m too lazy to click anymore! Please tell me there are likeminded people out there or at least share an example of your own laziness so I can feel better about myself. ---

Fuck that laziness bullshit, I like this! Are you using FF, Chome, or what kinda browser? I don’t see it listed for FF. ☹ ---

I do use chrome and here’s the [link](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/hover%20zoom) for HoverZoom but I think it’s listed in Firefox as Thumbnail Zoom. ---

People call me lazy for parking in the “back” of a large parking lot, or more specifically the edge of the general area mostly full of parked cars. In other words, I won’t weave up and down the parking lot looking for an empty spot close to the building. I think it’s funny because it’s certainly true that I can’t be bothered to spend time doing that, but it also means I’m happy to walk several hundred more feet whenever I park than the industrious parkers who take time to find a great spot. ---

I have several programs on my task bar so i can open them with one click rather than two.
