Everybody knows we have a relatively lazy society, even if us LetsRunners are active people. What is the best example of laziness you have seen? Not just about lack of physical activity, but just general laziness.
My favorite - Coinstar. People would rather dump their change into a machine and lose a percentage of their money rather than take a few minutes to organize their change into coin rolls and get 100% of it.
My credit union has a machine that sorts the money for free.
However, if you calculate the opportunity cost of rolling your own money, the % that coinstar takes might be a good deal. Of course, if you have kids you get them to roll the money. (That is what my mom did).
The one that gets me is the person cruising the parking lot looking for a parking place close to the door--especially when it is the parking lot of a fitness club/gym.
THen there is the remote control...
