[News] Things available today that show how lazy we have all become

[Uncle C]

I'll open with dogwalkers.

 

[The Fits]

Deliveroo and Uber grocery's surely? They sell hardly any stock, it's over priced and supermarkets already offer delivery. You just have to have a modicum of organisation.

 

[banjo]

Electric bikes.

 

[Stat Brother]

Amazon Prime.

 

[A1X]

Cars

 

[Rookie]

Microwave rice

 

[cuthbert]

The guy who comes and cleans my cooker

 

[zefarelly]

Alexa ( other gadgets for lazy bastards are available)

 

[Gazwag]

Mobility vehicles for the abled bodied

Window cleaners for houses

 

[Mellotron]

Was talking about Blockbuster Video in Worthing the other day, with a friend who worked there many years ago. Ah, the carpets. The musty smell of stale popcorn.

The idea that you used to have to make a specific physical trip (perhaps even by car with parking and everything) to go and choose ONE film to borrow, and watch. And if it was rubbish, tough. That was your entertainment for the evening. AND then you have to again make the trip to take it back.

That seems unthinkably antiquated now.

Mobility vehicles for the abled bodied

Window cleaners for houses

If you’ve ever been to Benidorm which I wouldn’t recommend it’s full of able bodied northerners clogging up the streets on mobility scooters it’s insane.
Talking of lazy people I have a customer who pays me £80 a time to change a light bulb or a fuse in a plug.

 

[Bodian]

Electric bikes.

I had stopped cycling because of the hills round here. I now cycle to work twice-a-week on my e-bike instead of driving. So, an electric bike has actually made me less lazy. Pretty sure that's the case for quite a lot of us older cyclists too.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I'll open with dogwalkers.

As a dog owner I really can't fathom why you get a dog and then entrust them with the fuckwits that are dog walkers. If you want a dog then bloody well get one if you can walk it YOURSELF. I've seen some atrocious behaviour by so called 'professional' dog walkers.

My lazy luxury is a house cleaner every Friday. Bliss !

 

[Washie]

A lot of these are still unavailable to me like dogwalkers and cleaners. A lot of these things have been around since I was a kid, but I don't have the money for it.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Those travelators at airports, where people just stand on them.

Struck me how one could change 'dog walker' to 'child minder'.

I went to Vegas year before covid and there were loads parked outside peoples hotel rooms

 

[hart's shirt]

My manservant Belvedere and other members of the household staff.

I'd miss them if I was forced to dispense with their services though.

I'm sure I've seen some cheeky films from the 70s that suggest window cleaners existed back then...?

Ring doorbells.
