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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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...

Hey, I'm the op. Well here's the back story, I'm in the military here and I'd just gotten off a patrol, the rec room was empty, so I dropped my vest in front of the sofa, grabbed a pillow and layer down ready to watch some TV. To my inconvenience I'd forgotton to grab the remote, which was on the complete other side of the room. My phone has an IR blaster so I just spent a good amount of time looking for an app, (for those asking for the apps name it's "sure") and then downloading it, which took a good fifteen minuets to download, and then another ten to configure it to the weird off brand TV we have here, then the cable box was a nightmare in itself, since every button wanted to be a special snowflake. All in all, I think it was worth it, been using my phone as the remote every single time since then. I highly recommend a lazy lifestyle to everyone. Keeps you productive. Thanks to everyone for reading my long ass follow up. And to all my lazy friends out there. Remotes are a thing of the past for me now.

You're not being lazy. You're being efficient.

I have an app like that, when my sister first found it we spent about 10 minutes screwing with my dad cause she accidentally connected to the TV in the living room.

This is literally what technological progress is. Invest some time and resources in a burst to simplify things in the future. No problem with that.
