If There Was A ‘Lazy Genius’ Award, These People Would Win

We all have our lazy moments, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes you just have to lay in bed on a Sunday and order takeout for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But some people take laziness to the next level.

For these people, laziness is a way of life. They survive by taking the easy way out. No one wants to buy Christmas wrapping paper, but a lazy genius made it work for them. These folks have managed to become certified geniuses because they know a little ingenuity can go a long way when you live a lazy life.

I don't blame this person for taking their trash out with their car. There have been a few times I've debated letting my kitchen garbage overflow for another week just because putting on shoes is way too much work.

If I had a long driveway or lived at the top of a hill, garbage day would be the worst day of the week.

Some people might say this person is lazy since they clearly just didn't want to wash a plate, but I say they're onto something big. Not only do they have a convenient spot for each individual chicken nugget, but they've left room for three separate sauces.

You can now fit a mayo, a ketchup, and a barbeque without it all mixing together into a gross soup on your plate.

Teachers already have enough on their plate. Why should they be expected to change the clocks twice a year? If anything, this is a constant simple math lesson for their students. It's a way to get the kids thinking.

One mom needed to bring her daughter a phone charger, so she just attached it to the dog. People get dogs for companionship and undying love, but there's obviously so much more they can do. Even if you don't want to put in the time or effort to make them a guide or therapy dog, they can still help you charge your phone.

This isn't a hack. It's a cry for help. This man looks like he's been to hell and back, and just wants to sit down and listen to some tunes.

Sometimes that means hanging your phone from a 10-foot high outlet and praying that the charging cable can hold on for dear life.

Christmas time is more stress than excitement. The presents, the food, the pressure. Between it all, the last thing you want to do is buy a roll of Christmas wrapping paper that you'll only use half of and the rest wastes away until next year.

This person's stroke of genius to Christmasify regular wrapping paper gives me hope for the holiday season.

Festivals are way too much for the average lazy man. It's hot, everyone's sweating buckets, you're packed in like life sardines, and on top of it all, they expect you to hop around and dance the entire time. This guy figured out the perfect way to take in a concert on a hot summer day.

Their use of the Grinch is a great way to get around lighting up the whole house. But if you're going to do a cutout of The Grinch, you also need to get one of Max.

Oh, you thought hoverboards were for kids? Wrong. They were invented by adults who knew the lazy possibilities were endless.

This dad realized that zooming around on a hoverboard while pushing the stroller is an easy way to tell your wife that you took the child for a stroll around the block.

This coloring page is definitely from the kid who got pushed around by a hoverboard when they were young. The lazy gene must be passed down from your parents.

The last thing an electrician wants to do when they get to a job is to climb up a steep ladder. That's why the best and the laziest electricians always have a scissor lift on hand.

It also probably helps them carry any heavy equipment up. I'd hire them.

That means you have to drink it fast. But to do so, you have to get up and move everytime you reach for the drink, which totally messes up your tan. This man's got it all figured out.

Why else would someone spend so much time creating an elaborate string and pulley system just to be able to turn off their light from bed?
