While many of us are ashamed of what we would spend to have a minimum wage employee deliver takeout straight to our door during a summer thunderstorm, most of us will happily go online to feed ourselves out of convenience, spending far more for a pizza than any person should.

Being lazy on the job is something every single worker has experienced. No matter how good of a worker you are, or even how much you love your job, everyone has downtime in which they simply need to be a little lazy. There are actual studies that show that out of the 8 hours a day that people work, the average amount of time workers actually get work done is 3 hours. This means that 5 hours of those 8 are for workers to simply idle by, scroll on their phones, or stare into the abyss. Hopefully,…

Internet tutorials make DIY projects look like a walk in the park. Watching a sped-up video of a professional woodworker dismantling, staining, and rebuilding a piece of street furniture makes upcyclers green with envy, but whenever an amateur grabs the same set of tools, most people realize they're all thumbs.

Everyone hates when they're trying to finagle a tight spot in a parking lot and their path is blocked by a wayward shopping cart. Is it really so challenging for shoppers to return their carts to the designated areas? Or is walking an extra 20 feet too challenging? Apparently so.

Interns in training decided to take this senior doctor at his word. Too bad it totally backfired on him. They say aging is difficult — your body aches for no reason, you fall asleep in random places, and all the young people are talking about things you don't care about. Depending on the field you work in, however, seniority can be a great perk. If you're a professor, the more years you teach, the better your job security. And if you're a doctor, that's the exact path many professionals take to…

This teenager doesn't want to help his dad with chores anymore after the way his dad spoke to him. When you're 17 years old, you're so close to being an adult, but you aren't quite there yet. People still get to treat you like a kid, whether you like it or not. That's why commenters are divided on this guy's story about a rainy-day chore gone wrong, with some blaming the teenage OP, and others blaming his father. This story is about what happens when you dry clothing outside without accounting…

Companies today are always complaining about labor shortages and how the workforce is getting ‘too lazy’ to go back to work. Au contraire you silly nepo-CEO's, it's not that there aren't any employees willing to work anymore, it's just that they're not willing to go back to work with no benefits, meager salaries, and to work overtime lining the pockets of a hypocritical boss that sends one email a week for a $500k annual salary.

Slacker people like to hide behind their perceived shortcomings in order to validate their lack of work ethic. The biggest problem with that is that they are immediately discrediting other hard working folks in the same situation, while making themselves a pity case for everyone around them. In this story, one slacker employee found refuge in her workplace by playing the ‘single mother' card, using the same excuse for every one of her deficiencies as an employee and a coworker.

But in reality, it's good to take lots of breaks and take life slow sometimes. And we all should know by now that worrying about work too much can take a toll on your health. If you can do your work fast and efficiently, why should it matter how long it actually takes to complete your tasks? The stories below are so satisfying. It turns out that a lot of “laz…

Have you ever worked for tips before? When you work a job where tips are your main source of income, that becomes the primary focus of each day capitalizing on how to get more tips. In some cheapskate states, restaurants are allowed to pay you LESS than minimum wage because it's expected that you'll be making more in tips on top of that, thus making restaurant work a minimum wage job again. * huge eye roll * As everyone knows, that's not guaranteed...

If you are one of the unlucky folks who accidentally married a slob, you're probably aware of the daily struggle of trying to keep your house in order. It's a full time job to simply keep up after yourself, let alone another person. So when dirty dishes, stinky laundry, and insurmountable mess starts to grow, it can be tough to dig yourself out of it. When you've reached that point of home mayhem, the last thing you need is your mother-in-law coming over and criticizing the house

Doing your own job is tiring enough without having to do your coworker's job too. Unfortunately, the reality is you'll often find yourselves having to make up for your coworker's chain-dragging—hey, at least those group projects in school prepared us for something … right? Another unfortunate reality comes in the realization that most managers will be slow to do anything about this. Even if they say they're looking into it, you can bet on a sloth to show more urgency and keep a greater pace. No…

Future you is very excited.

According to HR, they're out 'sick' at least 100 times per year
