Back in primary school, when the Science topic “Making Work Easier” was introduced, you paid extra attention. It was your favourite subject.

You slayed at it.

Your life’s motto is solve all problems with fast practical solutions that use as minimal effort as possible. Even though those problems don’t adhere to the text book definition of “problem”.

Simplicity is bae.

Here are things only lazybones understand.

You use foil when you run out of dishes

In fact that’s even fancier and incurs extra costs. You eat right from the sufuria. All you need is a newspaper to use as a coaster.

You use a stick to tune the TV

When you lose the remote, you don’t have time to go looking for it. And because it’s not a Samsung, you can’t use your phone apps to change channels. So you just use a broom or an equally long stick to adjust the volume.

Your trash bin is always full

You’re too lazy to take things out to the main bin outside. You’re ok with a little trash smell especially because the trash is on your balcony.

You repeat clothes

Who has time for constant laundry? You don’t. You repeat panty hose, bras. And you also repeat briefs. Worst comes to worst you pull on your semi clean pair of undershorts and turn them inside out (boys) or just use panty liners (girls).

You only change pillow cases

And the lower sheet. You don’t recall the last time you had your duvet and blankets cleaned. You’re not even sure if itchy blankets actually get washed.

And when things are really bad, you just replace your pillow case with a shirt.

You use a laptop for your cramps (girls)

Sometimes the hot water bottle is too far and the process of boiling water is one that requires the resilience of a gladiator. But you’re not a gladiator. But you have a laptop where you’re streaming Gladiator. And it blows hot air out of its bottom.
