Do you do anything that's really unbelievably lazy?
For example, when I write the word "aluminum" in cursive, really I just write "a" "l" then a bunch of squiggles and stick a dot somewhere above the middle.
Or if I'm going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and use the rest of the toilet paper, I put the new roll on the counter instead of putting it on the holder affixed to the counter.
I've done the tp thing in the middle of the night. Except I'm worse. Since I'm the only one in my house, I don't even get a new roll out until I get up in the morning.

I've thought about not getting a new roll out. But I've also actually not got one out and forgot that the roll was empty until I sat on the toilet. So I try to force myself to at least get a roll within arms reach of the toilet.
Ever toss something at the trash can, miss, and think, "I'll just pick it up later."?

Yes, usually in the morning with q-tips.
That's one I have to make sure I'll get, or the cats will steal them.
Before we got the new kitchen, I frequently put a pan in the cupboard, and it wasn't just right, so the door would stick open a bit. It was such a pain to play the tetris game with the pans that I usually just left it sticking open. Or push on the door harder.
I've done the push on the door harder thing too. How is the new kitchen?
Nice! There's a corner cupboard up top and a lazy susan in the bottom corner, and those alone give us more space. And a microwave above the stove, so we've put away our humongous microwave, which gives us a ton of counter space. Then there's a nice new linoleum floor, which is a huge improvement over the uv-damaged discolored linoleum tile floor that was there before.
I don't make our bed either, never have. Same here, I don't understand the importance of making the bed. Just 'cuz it looks nice? It seems like the most inane chore.
I hate mismatched socks. For example, Isaac has these socks that are similar but not exactly the same. One type is a -M and the other type doesn't have the -M so they HAVE to match when folding.
I think my anal-ness of sock folding wore off the opposite way on my kids because they don't pair their socks when folding them -- actually they just shove the whole bunch in the drawar -- and they don't give a ratts ars if they are wearing mismatched because they've told me, "No one sees them under my pant leg!"
There is a teeny bit of logic to that...

I also just throw the socks in the drawer and pair them up when I'm going to wear them. I do have separate drawers for my white socks and the colored ones. I also throw the underwear in one drawer and the bras in another.

Good grief. I could make this a loooooooooong list. Though I've been trying to get better about not being lazy.
Just a few thoughts that pop immediately to mind:
* I only shave twice a week because I'm too lazy to do it daily.
* If I see a penny on the ground I don't pick it up because it's just not worth bending over for. (A nickel or more and I'm diving on it)
* I have TWO comforters on my bed. One I sleep under and one I sleep on top of. That way if I don't feel like making my bed I just throw the top one in the closet and smooth out the bottom one.
Oh, hey! I don't know why I hadn't thought that way! Instead of just one garment drawer, one for tops & one for bottoms. And I think I shall also do the individual drawers for socks & undies for Isaac. Then maybe I won't be so freaked when I open them.

1. Me too. But it isn't really a lazy thing.
2. Prennies add up. But you can only pick it up if it is heads up. Otherwise you have to flip it over and someone else has to pick it up.
3. Now that is lazy.

When it comes to shaving, it's once or twice a week for me too. Sometimes I think, "I'd like to go for a swim. Oh, but I haven't shaved. Guess I won't go for that swim."
