Everyday life can be understandably demanding and in general, everyone has at some point found themselves attempting to accomplish a chore without parting with any effort whatsoever. However, there are a select few that seem a bit too determined to eliminate all the energy from the things they do and these photo’s exhibit just how brilliance can often be found in the laziest ideas.

Hilarious Photos That Prove Brilliance Can Sprout From Laziness

Even though these silent geniuses are dubbed pure lazy, there is absolutely no denying their innovative brilliance that likely resulted from unwillingness. Take a look at these amusing ideas that will probably have you in hysterics...

Stairs Are Overrated Anyway

Installing such a tiny escalator does seem quite pointless although perhaps stairs are considered overrated these days?
A Mini Escalator

Stairs Are Overrated Anyways

Anyone too lazy to climb a few steps is likely also too lazy to walk at all. Aside from the glorious waste of funds witnessed here, convenience is often the worse choice.

The Chair Is Inside

Here we can see a new kind of lazy. However, this man seems to have his day under control. Even though he can’t find the chair that he ordered, he has managed to compromise ideally.
Looking For His Chair

The Chair Is Inside

Instead of taking on the hassle of removing the chair from the box, he found the perfect solution by using the chair in the box as a chair…

Going For A Walk

This guy knows the importance of spending quality time with your little one and taking them outside to get some fresh air every day. If only there were a way to go for a walk without actually having to walk.
A Lazy Walk

Going For A Walk

Well, thanks to this innovative invention there is. While the idea is beyond genius, perhaps he has found the ultimate way to preserve his energy without compromising his daily routine.

Tower Of Trash

Here’s someone that can make us all feel quite good about ourselves with regards to an unwillingness to take out the trash. What appears to be an arts and crafts project that must have required ultimate patients is actually a leaning tower of perfectly stacked trash.
Peak Of Garbage

Tower Of Trash

Despite the hint of general disgust, this photo may bring the artistic flair here is quite clear. In his defense, he has created a very unique home decor piece that is truly one of a kind!

Multi-Functional Heater

Clearly, the kitchen must have been too far for the person that did this. Walking all the way to your kitchen just to heat up a snack often feels like a waste of much-needed energy and especially for this person.
How To Heat Up Food

Multi-Functional Heater

Why walk all that way when you can just do this? There are times when the brightest ideas sprout from the darkest pits of laziness… Much like this idea.

No Need For Cardio

We all have different couple goals, and while some of us enchanted by the thought of losing weight with the support of our significant other, some couples strive towards the ideal of enjoying routine romantic strolls.
Going Out For A Walk

No Need For Cardio

However, some are incredibly lazy. This guy decided to cheat the system by making use of a segway to assist with any effort that goes into a romantic stroll. While this is defeating the entire purpose of a stroll, it seems to be working for him!

No Remote Necessary

This photo exhibits the true meaning of making do with what you have. Here is a man with no television remote and no television rack. However, he has managed to improvise using his incredible initiative as well as a stick and a chair.
No Need For A Remote

No Remote Necessary

Who needs a remote when a stick seems to work just as well? This way, he does not need to overexert himself taking a step or two to change the channel manually.

General Laziness

Here we can see just how lazy most of us are. While the vast majority would instead go for a moment of convenience rather than climbing a few stairs, we have to wonder why hardly anyone seems to be aware of the health benefits associated with a bit of cardio.
A Lazy Crowd

General Laziness

Perhaps everyone here is having a bit of a rough day and would prefer to preserve the tiny bit of energy by using the escalator instead.

Grocery Shopping Made Easy

Shopping can be quite grueling with all that walking up and down isles that is required. If only there were a way to shop without having to walk at all...
Grocery Shopping On Wheels

Grocery Shopping Made Easy

This man is a real genius as he has found the perfect solution to shop without having to walk at all. He may be lazy, but he is clearly innovative.

Close Enough

Some people should really learn that close enough is not actually sufficient in most cases, such as this one. Here we see an empty juice box, and a wafer box placed so close to a dustbin, but not quite in the dustbin.
You Were So Close

Close Enough

This person is clearly extremely lazy and perhaps did the best he could. However, it really is not good enough.

No Time To Take Out The Trash

Just because it is possible to pile up your waste paper and create a giant tower, does not mean that you should. Even though this person is saving time for the moment does not mean he is actually saving effort in the long run...
Emptying the Garbage Bin

No Time To Take Out The Trash

When the day comes that this dustbin needs to be emptied, it will likely be a thousand times harder than if it was just done regularly.

Save Your Strength

Don't work too hard before hitting the gym. Escalators are an easy way. It is there for a reason- might as well use it!

Too Hungry For Effort

It can be a tricky situation to find yourself both hungry and lazy all at the same time. However, this innovative young lady rises above the predicament. She wanted a pizza and was not willing to walk all the way downstairs to get it.
Lazy And Hungry

Too Hungry For Effort

She tossed down a thread of wool and had her delivery man tie it securely around the box of pizza so she could lift the pizza back up. She used virtually no effort or energy, and yet she managed to get her pizza!

Lazy Parenting

Raising children can be extremely demanding at the best of times. Perhaps this is why some parents sprout brilliant ideas to rest whenever possible.
Can You Pull Me On The Swing

Lazy Parenting

Rather than wasting precious energy standing and pushing the child on the swing the old fashioned way, this parent has cheated the system!

Who Needs Hands?

Here we can see yet another incredibly lazy being that needs to chat on the phone, yet he is unwilling to part with his limited energy.
Hands-free Phone Conversation

Who Needs Hands?

He may not be an employee of the month, although, there may be another award for the most innovative employee...

Not Sorting The Mail

In movies, mailmen are usually portrayed as incredibly busy people, although, it appears to be quite the opposite in real life.
Use The Mailboxes

Not Sorting The Mail

It may not require all that much energy to sort mail into mailboxes, yet this mailman clearly was not interested at all.

Free Trolleys

Either someone is giving away trolleys, or perhaps no one cares about putting them back where they belong. Regardless, this photo does have a particular creepy factor to it...
Trolley Parking

Free Trolleys

It seems no one bothers to put their trolleys back after using them to cart their shopping bags to their cars. It would be nice if people were worried enough to at least move them off the sidewalk!

Hands-Free

Vacations are all about relaxation, and how could one possibly relax when the phone rings? Well, this lady seems unwilling to hold the phone while speaking on the phone.
Like A True Vacationer

Hands-Free

Balance the phone on your ear, and you won’t need to use any energy to make it through a cell phone conversation.

It Works Just Fine

It is believed that a picture can say a thousand words, which is shockingly true for this photo. Instead of opening the packaging for the doorstop, this person has simply decided it works just fine inside the packaging.
No Need To Open It

It Works Just Fine

This is not only unbelievably lazy, but also a tad surprising that it does actually seem to work.

Women Live Longer Than Men

This is a vivid depiction of why women live longer than men.This person better knows how to swim or someone calls the lifeguard immediately!

Women Live Longer Than Men

It’s Already In A Bowl

If you have ever been late for work, this photo probably makes some sense to you. However, using the bag the cereal comes in like a bowl is a bit ridiculous...
Who Needs A Bowl

It’s Already In A Bowl

This person either does not have a bowl or is just too lazy to wash dishes. Saving both time and energy is clearly crucial for this person!

Lazy Pup

This tiny little pup wanted to lie down and then realized his toy got left behind. It’s a bit far down to reach, so we can understand why it’s plausible to rather just stare at, hoping it might just come to him.
Puppy Dog Eyes

Lazy Pup

He does seem to really want the toy, although, all the effort it would take to climb down and get it does not really seem worth it...

Not Bothered

Putting a roll of toilet paper in the holder does not require much effort at all. This person is clearly not bothered enough. Talk about extreme lazy!
Can’t Be Bothered

Not Bothered

It may seem easier to just balance the roll of loo paper on top of the holder. However, are you really saving much energy in doing it this way?

Really?!

This plastic egg carton is practically balancing on the remaining two eggs in the refrigerators egg compartment. Moving the eggs to the compartment is surely not a back-breaking task, or is it?
Too Lazy To Put The Eggs There

Really?!

Not only will this effort in futility potentially break some eggs, but it also seems undeniably pointless to be this lazy!

Too Lazy To Get The Right Spoon

Some things in life are simply unacceptable, such as eating your cereal with your kid’s cereal spoon. The effort this person saved by grabbing the closest spoon will surely be diminished by the length of time he will take to eat with a tiny spoon!
A Spoonful of Laziness

Too Lazy To Get The Right Spoon

Making It Fit

Shoving the new toilet paper roll in behind an empty toll is probably not the best idea. It may save effort for the moment, although, trying to roll a piece of toilet paper off the new roll may be a bit tricky!

Field Watering Innovation

Who said table fans were boring? Clearly, they can be quite handy if you are too lazy to water a large field. As mentioned, brilliance can sprout from laziness!

Collecting Trash

Most people with collections of items are incredibly proud of their collecting achievements. However, those with trash collections have absolutely no reason to be proud at all.

Collecting Trash

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who simply could not be bothered about taking out the trash.

No Time To Decorate The Tree

Decorating a Christmas tree can take quite a while. Why bother setting it up each year when you can just preserve your efforts with cling wrap?
Untouched Tree

No Time To Decorate The Tree

While some may consider decorating the tree an annual tradition, others would rather avoid the time-consuming task altogether!

Not Willing To Go Outside

Here’s someone that was not at all willing to withstand the summer heat to play fetch with her pet, so she compromised by staying inside.
Playing With Pets

Not Willing To Go Outside

Why go outside when you can relax by the window and play fetch with your pet at the same time?

Makeshift Bowl

Clearly, this person was too lazy to wash the dishes and needed a bowl for their cereal. Luckily lazy people seem to possess a certain level of brilliance that gets them through each day.
Another Lazy Cereal Lover

This guy was not prepared to wash the bowl in the sink, so he made a bowl instead!

Preserving The Product

Here’s another lazy person that was not willing to take the product out of the packaging to use it.
Lazy Man’s Thermometer

Preserving The Product

Luckily, the clear packaging makes this a perfect plan for preserving the condition of the thermometer while using it. Regardless, this is another example of pure laziness!

Wrong-Way

Instead of turning the car around so that the petrol pump is near the right side of the car, this guy fully believed he could make it reach without moving at all.
Refilling The Tank

Wrong-Way

Once again, laziness did not get in the way of completing a task...

TV Collection

Letting go of old items can be hard, although, if it’s old and can’t be used, there’s really no point to keeping it! This person was unwilling to part with the energy required to part with these old TV’s and rather decided each new one can simply go on top of the previous one.
A Mountain of TVs

TV Collection

Toilet Paper Holder

Once again it would seem as though some people are not entirely sure how a toilet paper holder works. However, it is more likely that they are simply extremely lazy.
More Toilet Paper

Toilet Paper Holder

It would work out so much better if it were used as intended!

Can’t Decide

A shopping basket inside a trolley seems completely pointless. Perhaps this lady just could not decide which one would be best. There’s not always a reason behind the things that lazy people do.

Can’t Decide

Too Lazy To Go Home

Here is a student that must be too lazy to go home, so he made himself as comfortable as possible right where he is. In his defense, college can be quite stressful and tiring.
Just Go Home

Too Lazy To Go Home

Late For Work?

It is quite possible that the owner of this snow-covered car was late for work and had no time to remove all that snow. On the other hand, he could be too lazy to take it off and decided it would be easier to wait for it to melt and use the car in the meantime.
Snow-Covered Car

Late For Work?

Regardless, there is hardly an appropriate excuse for this!

Not Just For Ice

Everyone loves chicken nuggets. If only someone came up with the perfect design of a chicken nugget tray... This genius and lazy individual may have come up with the perfect chicken nugget holder!

If you are too lazy to hold down the fuel trigger, you are simply far too lazy! This person was clearly not willing to stand around and hold down the fuel trigger, so he compromised with the help of a bottle.

Garfield

A fat ginger cat laying around wherever he can, must be Garfield! However, this may not be the most appropriate place for a nap. Cat, it is time for you to look for a better place to lie down in.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could walk your dog without actually having to walk? If you have a golf cart, it seems you don’t have to walk at all.

Removing The Effort

Simply tie your pet to the golf cart and drive along… No effort needed!

Not How It’s Done

The delivery man that left this person’s parcel underneath the doormat may not have been lazy, although, he still does not quite know how it should be done.

Not How It’s Done

Next time, try ringing the doorbell and simply handing the parcel over to the rightful owner, rather than hiding it!

The Lazy Man’s Straw

Far too many people seem to be too lazy to hold the phone while talking. There really is no excuse for this... Even though this is simply too lazy, the concept is quite unusual also! Unfortunately, the phone is upside down, which may make the conversation rather challenging...

Hands-Free Calling

Kitchen Office

The first day of a new job can be undeniably stressful. Here’s a stressed-out employee who decided the best place to work and enjoy lunch would be in the fridge, literally! Even though this is not particularly appropriate work behavior, this image makes a lot more sense than it actually should!

Not The Best Idea

Surely the effort required to empty a packet of Skittles into the vending machine cannot be that grueling. This is simply too lazy... Well, thanks to this lazy person, no one will be able to get a few skittles!
For Only A Quarter

Not The Best Idea

Dogs Get Lazy Too

We often forget that dogs have extremely active lives and even they can get tired and lazy at times. Here we can see a hungry dog that is simply too lazy to climb off the sofa properly to drink some water from his dog bowl.

He has managed to do the best he can to drink water without getting off the sofa. Although, He may have a bit of a problem laying down again.

Not everyone is skilled at baking scrumptious birthday cakes. However, this goes beyond lazy considering this definitely cannot pass as a birthday cake.

Well, this guy has a better idea. Simply wear your hoodie backwards and you have yourself a thrifty popcorn holder! Now all he needs is somewhere to put his coke...

When The Que Is Too Long

We’ve always been told to stand in line and wait our turn. However, no one told us we could just grab a chair and sit in line. This lady has a much better idea!
Please Sit In Line

When The Que Is Too Long

When the que at Burger King is too long and you just cannot use all that energy to stand around and wait your turn, just grab a chair!

Sometimes smart people get it all wrong. Like this guy here who believed it would be easier to take the trash out using his car. However, it really does look a lot harder this way!

No Effort Necessary

Finding the right height for the coke in order for this man’s lazy idea to work may have required a lot more effort than just drinking the coke properly. Not all who try actually succeed...
All That Work

No Effort Necessary

Luckily, he does have a straw. Even though he seems quite content, he does not really look all that comfortable!

Turning The TV

Even though the initial goal here is clear, this young man’s innovative thinking seems a bit unnecessary. If you are too lazy to adjust your posture to watch TV, you are probably too lazy to actually watch TV. This type of thing should absolutely never be a logical decision!
Maybe We Should Get Him A Bed First

One Flight Of Stairs Is Too Much

Climbing up and downstairs seems to be one of the main tasks lazy people would rather avoid at all costs. Even if it means breaking your brain to bring an absurd idea to life!

If only it were really this simple...

There is always so much to do around Christmas time that it could be almost understandable how some could completely forget to buy a tree.
We Wish You A Smelly Christmas

Improvised Christmas Tree

Luckily, lazy people seem to be quite good at improvising, well, most of the time. Unfortunately, this Christmas tree-shaped air freshener just won’t cut it.

No One Will Notice

Why paint all five toenails when only two will be seen? This lady has decided there is absolutely no point in painting all of them, so she hasn’t.
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

No One Will Notice

Rather than wasting extra energy and effort, if the shoe only shows two toes, it seems logical that you would only need to paint two toenails.

How Lazy People Get Around

The Lazy-Man-Mobile

This must be a universal method for lazy people to get around. Despite the fact that this man is clearly lazy, his logic is undeniably brilliant!
