I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.

I don’t wash dishes I use paper plates and forks.
We can’t get a dishwasher. The pipes to the house are too messed up. The sink was designed for someone way taller than me so I have to lean forward and get soaked on the cabinet that tilts forwards towards me instead of back towards the sink.
I put clothes on hangers and hung them in the doorway between the kitchen and the rest of the house to take with me when I eventually head in that direction. I left the clothes there for over a week while I had to twist to get around them, and only took them to my room to put away when I did laundry the next week…and ran out of space to hang the clean shirts.

I have remoted in to my desktop from my laptop or vice versa many times to close a video that either I left playing or the cats have unpaused by walking on the keyboard

I don’t wash stains on walls from dogs or kids. I just paint every few years

I SSHed my laptop to turn it off, even though my laptop is not that far away from my bed

I WoL my second computer to turn it on, even though it’s at an arm’s reach (but I’d have to stretch a bit to reach it)
I dunno if laziest but my landlord certainly thought so. I had bedbugs and there’s so much crap you have to do prep for the extermination like remove all your clothes and wash them three times on hot, flip through all your books to check for them, the list was ridiculous. I’m way too lazy for that so I paid the extra $600 out of pocket for the “good” treatment where they just super heat your entire home to kill them and all you have to do is remove things that might melt or explode.
Thankfully the exterminators found the illegal fireworks I had hidden and forgotten about, removed them, and didn’t say anything to the landlord.

The heat treatment was the only thing that worked when I had to deal with those little fuckers. I’m sorry you had to deal with them, but I’m glad they’re gone now. Those things aren’t just physically irritating, they fuck with your head.
55 C or thereabouts. I was at work when they did it. When I came home it felt like I’d left the heat on full blast all day

Yea that’s what we did at a public library I worked at whenever a bed bug or signs of it were spotted. All the books in the same space where considered contaminated and we all put them in a special heater.

Illegal fireworks? is that code for explosives?
I did a quick check and looks like there are two categories of fireworks above what regular people can freely buy in a store…

Pretty much everything is illegal here except maybe like sparklers and snakes. I only had pretty tame stuff like Roman candles I bought a county over from mine. Lotta wildfires here.
Depending on location they can all be illegal. Firecrackers specifically are illegal in my region, IIRC.
I did the same. I wanted to watch a TV series of which I own the box set but I was too lazy to get the box, put the disc in and go through the menu for every three episodes or so. So I pirated it.

So many providers these days STILL don’t get that the more control you take away the less incentive people have to buy their product. Oh I have to see a mandatory FBI piracy warning splash screen and the speed control is locked at 1.5x max? Jeez it’s a shame you can’t compete with the pirated file that has no nag screens and I can blow through at fucking 20x if I want.

Pro tip: If you buy tons of the same type of socks such as 20 pairs of black you can wash and dry them and they pair easily. It’s less effort than going to buy new ones.
- 4 hours
This is exactly what I do. I have like 30 identical pairs of socks. They just get dumped in a pile in my sock drawer, and I grab two off the top of the pile every day.

I dated a girl who did this. I asked why her socks were always mismatched. She looked at me like it should be obvious, and said “I pull two out of the drawer. If they match, I know I’m going to have a good day.” I said she could just match her socks, and then she’d have a good day every day. But apparently that was missing the point.

Gosh I’ve been trying to force myself to do that for like 5 years already. I’m just too lazy to spend some time and choose a good fit (instead of just buying random socks every onece in a while). What brand and type of socks would you recommend??
- 55 minutes
Buy one pack of 5, if good go back and buy 3+ more packs leaving some unopened and throw out old if not find better. Look at what sock you like currently and try finding similar. I like thin/semi thin. I don’t do brands, just feel with the hands.

Dickies Dri-Tech in whatever length you need. They’re my go-to because I wear safety boots for work. They’re way more padded than typical socks, and they’re extremely durable.

I legitimately think my boyfriend does this. That man has more socks than any person needs.
- 1 day
But you should always wash clothes before wearing them for the first time???
(Seriously though, they have all kinds of dirt and chemicals on them)

Black socks
they never get dirty
The longer you wear them
The blacker they get
Someday, I’ll probably launder them
Something keeps telling me don’t do it yet

I remember when my grandfather died, we were going through his belongings and found a drawer full of electric razors. Why did he have so many?!? Then we noticed every one was full of hair, and concluded that he bought a new one every time it filled up rather than emptying it.
Then years later, my parents became snowbirds who went to Mexico every winter, and they stayed with this other family who were locals. They got good at Spanish and one day I guess, my dad was talking to the other dad and they burst out laughing. I asked what that was all about, and he said the Mexican dad’s father also had a drawer full of electric razors, and he never understood why?
Back in my teenage years, when you used to change TV channel by walking over to the TV and physically pressing a button, myself and two friends (likely all a bit stoned), sat on a sofa opposite the TV, invented a ~3 metre long “TV prodding device” from gaffer tape and “anything we could find within arm’s reach”.
I think we spent about half an hour building this device, rather than any of us standing up, taking a few steps forward and physically pressing the button.
The device succeeded.
It fell apart after a few uses.
