You know America is lazy when...

Apparently, there's a growing number of people (men) who urinate into plastic bottles while they drive instead of stopping at a rest area.

there's nothing wrong with pissing in a bottle. why make an extra stop if you don't have to? especially, like some otherr poster said, on long journeys (driving cross country)

Turns out management decided to replace all the stairs with elevators in order to "make things more convenient for our guests." It was really annoying (and slower) to have to take an elevator up/down a single floor. I wonder what people are supposed to do during a fire.

A lot of people are probably not interested in carrying their luggage up a flight of stairs. I can understand why they'd point most people to the elevators..

I, like you, would take the stairs.

I think the point that Jim is trying to make is that people are not only pissing in the bottles, but THROWING THEM OUT THE WINDOW rather than wait until they stop again to throw them away in a garbage can.

Thank you for that Port Runner. Quite frankly I don't care if you leave a 55 gallon drum of your urine in your back seat, just don't throw it out the window!

Also, having driven 800 to 900 miles at a shot numerous times over the years with my wife, I can tell you that there is no reason to use a bottle. If you time things correctly, just do a "fluid exchange": You go to a rest stop. One person fills the car with gas while the other heads for the rest rooms. By the time the car is topped off, the second person comes back while the first goes. The second person now pays the bill, picks up a snack, washes the windows, whatever. We routinely do fluid exchanges in under 10 minutes without trying. Besides, you need to stretch your legs every now and then! Even if you're driving alone, ask yourself whether or not it's worth the (maybe) 5 minutes you'll save in terms of the inconvenience and possible danger (not to mention potential mess). Here's a thought: what would you do if you were peeing in a bottle at 75 MPH and your tire blew out? This is not as crazy as it sounds. I was driving behind a guy last year when his tire blew out on the NYS Thruway. It's scary, even with both hands on the wheel. Heck, it scared me and I was several seconds behind him.

When you see 2-3 cars waiting for a close park at Bally's so they can go in for a workout! WTF!!

Fitness club with escalators....this is what ya'll want to see.

Does it make me lazy because I had someone read your post to me? I also dictated this response. I didn't feel up to posting it myself.

I worked at Market Basket (local store) in HS. I used to love to shag the carriages as it gave me a bit of weight work and got me out of the store. I also used to drop the signs in front of, AND behind people that parked in front of the stores. This was the early 80s. Can't imagine how bad now....

At time I read these threads and get pissed. Who are we to judge? Other times I could not agree more. I serve those fat f***s into motioncontrol shoes all day. Today I realized the problem.

Honesty. Capitalism. Two things that dont run in the same circles.

In our capitalist society we are, for the most part, under the impresion that we need to serve someones wants, no matter the request, in order to prosper in our business.

Lets start with the doctors. If all our doctors started be BRUTALLY honest, many people would begin to make changes and stop being lazy. Form there we can trickle down to the many other forms of service, from resturants to clothing stores to banks to health clubs. Right now, we fear driving our paying customers away by holding firm on a rule or not allowing someone to treat us like shit. If we are ALL honest, the person who abuses the "power" they have over a server will find the same response everywhere and thus there is no loss of customer. You buils your customer base the old fashioned way, work hard.

...and now back to our show.

You know you're lazy when...

getting in and out of your car feels a lot like putting on a pair of pants.

you're at the point where you just cant be bothered with a belt. Elastic will do just fine, thank you.

you're shopping cart has a chair. Not sure if you're picking up groceries or mowin the lawn.

and this one is a true story... you would rather SHIT YOUR PANTS than disrupt your trips from buffet to your table. YOU WOULD RATHER SHIT YOUR PANTS!!!
