Best example of how lazy our society is

The Zynda IPO was a pretty good indicator of lazyness to me.

People at the airport who STAND STILL on the moving walkways. It's like, really?

Worse are the ones who block everybody else's ability to walk on the moving walkway. Because of these lazy (and inconsiderate) people, I just opt for walking next to the moving walkway and I can always make better time than the lumps on the walkway.

That just happened to me for the first time the other day. People actually walked passed me as I was stuck behind a family of three on a moving walkway. They were walking twice as fast as the walkway was moving. It was ridiculous.

I saw a woman out walking her dog the other day. Funny thing though, she was riding a horse while doing it. Doesn't get much lazier.

I once saw a lady walk up to a door, hesitate, then back up and hit the handicap button and wait for the door to automatically open for her. She was a young woman that looked to be in fine physical shape. My friend and I both looked at each other and started laughing our asses off.

Those are fun to push. I like pushing those buttons. I'll go out of my way to push them.

OK. That's the best post so far.

I've seen quite a few people walking their dogs on bicycles.

The owner that is, not the dog.

Which team will I vote for - the red or the blue?

Now it's your problem wrote:

Leaf blowers.

Lazy AND unethical.

Whatever! Lazy is hiring someone to mow your lawn and use your leaf blower.

Leaf Blowers rule. What takes 5 minutes to do with a rake or broom (if your are removing grass clippings from your drive way) takes 10 seconds with leaf blower. You'll still be out there working while I'll be drinking a budweiser and staring at you from my living room window.

I once saw this lady park in a handicapped parking spot and when she got out I could tell she wasn't the least bit handicapped. I then proceeded to ream her out right there, if fact we got into a little bit of a pushing match but I held my ground and when we were done she was silent and looking like she was about to cry. Next thing I know; her crazy mother climbs out of the passenger side and starts swinging her crutches at me...

Not all handicaps are visible...

I read a funny story about a special ed program that had a van with handicapped plates. I don't remember exactly what happened, but a cop tried to confront the teacher for falsely using the handicapped sticker. Right on cue, one of the students said something absurdly inappropriate, the cop looked at the kid, took the hint, and left them alone.

Worse than that...

...perfectly fit looking people who jump on the electric carts

Saw an obese lady going through a McDonalds Drive-thru in her motorized wheelchair. This was in plain view of a busy street... no shame at all!

What's with the coin rolling? Why don't you just carry some change with you all the time and pay the odd amount with coin in your pocket? No need to collect all this coinage. F'n stupid.

My time is too valuable to mow, grocery shop, clean house, cook, or get an oil change. I have lots of time to troll letsrun, though.

Applause!

Someone with Tourette's needs to park closer to the entrance?

Ummmmm.... Am I missing something here? Why don't you just walk instead of taking the walkway in the first place?

People who walk their dogs and let them take a crap on my lawn and don't pick it up. I have a couple of newspaper bags near the front door and keep hoping that I will catch someone in the act of walking away so I can burst out the door and say, "do you need a bag."
