Today, my laziness got so bad, I downloaded an app and spent 10 minutes configuring it to work with my TV and cable box, just so I wouldn't have to get up and grab the remote. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I downloaded a movie that I already own on DVD, because I was feeling too lazy to get up and fetch it from the living room. I think I've hit rock bottom. FML
Today, I got ready for work half-asleep, grabbed my coffee, and walked out the door. It wasn’t until I was in the elevator that I realized I was also holding the TV remote instead of my phone. FML
Today, I was trying to lower the volume on my TV, but nothing was happening. I got increasingly frustrated, smacking the remote and yelling at the screen. My brain finally woke up when I realized I was holding the air conditioning remote and had been turning my living room into a freezer instead. FML
Today, after watching TV, my boyfriend and I had to go walk our dog. I was too lazy to get up from the couch immediately so I teased him by turning off all the (smart) lights using my phone. He got mad and went upstairs to continue watching TV, so now I have to walk the dog alone. FML
Today, I spent what seemed like an hour tearing apart my living room looking for the TV remote, only to find it in the fridge next to the milk. It turns out that last night I decided to put my cereal away in the entertainment center. FML
Today, my phone alarm didn't go off this morning. Furious, I spent ten minutes complaining about technology before realizing I'd carefully set the alarm for 7:00 PM instead of 7:00 AM. The technology was actually innocent for once. FML
Today, I tried to get my son off of the couch by turning off the wifi. Afterward, I went to watch tv. Turns out he got me back by turning off the cable. FML
Today, I thought I'd been really clever by setting my alarm ten minutes earlier to get up on time. I did wake up ten minutes earlier… then promptly fell back asleep for another hour. FML
Today, I finally finished building my own custom TV stand that would work in my small living room with brick walls. Now I can't find the remote. Anywhere. FML
Today, my laziness hit a new low when I tried closing my bedroom door using my mind. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Physical laziness, but obvious mental prowess...

Totally done it. Totally deserve it.

If it's any consolation, laziness has probably been a driving force in innovation since the first primate was too lazy to bash its prey in the head with its own arms and instead wielded a bone. Say it's dark out and you'd like to see some things. You could kill an animal, refine its fat into oil, blow some glass to make a receptacle for the oil, weave plant fibers into a wick for the oil, mine some flint, smelt some steel, and then ignite the wick with the flint and steel. Or you could turn on a ******* light. Laziness begets progress!

It sure takes a lot of work to lazy!

not an FML my friend, that's just using technology for what technology is meant for. I'm controlling my tv and cable box with my phone as we speak

You're downright industrious for spending 10 whole minutes configuring it! I'd have quit after 30 seconds and just laid on the couch humming the theme to "Gilligan's Island!"

and now I have the theme from Gilligan's Island stuck in my head

I could see myself doing that if the remote was missing.

Work smart, not hard

10 minutes effort vs 10 seconds effort, if you had to go through that routine of getting up to get the remote every day, you just exerted 360 days worth of effort in a single day attempting to be lazy, irony much?

I have one for my TV, one for my Xbox, and one for my fire stick. I feel your lazy.
