The laziest person you know?

That's not lazy, that's just vile.
I'm the laziest person I know.
Is that only because you've been too lazy to go out and meet other people?
Nope, it's because people who are actually lazier than me don't go out and meet me.I'm the laziest person I know.

I do like being comfortable and cosy as often as possible, but I wouldn't say I'm lazy. I do what needs to be done within a reasonable time.
I do this by at least doing a little of something each day, that way it's easy to finish it off the next time - it's all about getting myself out of the mental block of starting it.
I was lazy as a teenager, but then, who wasn't?
I have come across some incredibly lazy people in the past, but I strongly believe people make up for particular deficiencies they may have by excelling in other things. We can't all be the same.

I've found that being ill with something that causes immense fatigue, coupled with a severe bout of physiologically-based depression has made me seriously not give fuck one about the minutiae of daily life.
Therefore, I can sit frozen in one place for 20 minutes, fully intending to actually DO something and yet not be able to force myself to do it.

I don't think I'm lazy, just in a different time zone to others in Britain. I make a reasonable amount buying silver, handcrafted jewellery and curios from China and Australia, packaging and marketing them over here. I'm totally on form at 4-5am sniping everyone else for good deals and working out currency rates, p&p etc. To be woken up by the postman at 11am with packages to make 200/300% profit. I'd much rather this that 9 - 5. And I get time to lunch nicely and make plans in the afternoon.
Don't be a drone....

Yeah, that's my problem. I get such intense anxiety and fear trying to start something (it doesn't really matter what it is either -- could be as simple as making a phone call), that I just shut down. I think I need more norepinephrine. Or some serious Venezuelan cocaine.
Being lazy has made me depressed, which in turn, has made me more lazy.
They say happiness and activity are catching. If you want to be chirpy, or busy, hang out with someone who is... On the laziness front, I think your roommate doesn't fall in with this philosophy... 
I don't mean to be insulting and I obviously don't know you or your situation, but where's your sense of pride? Does paying people to do things you should really legimately be doing for yourself really free you up to live such a better life? I mean, you're paying someone to scrub out your toilet for God's sake. Coming home from a full day's work to a home that I maintain and cooking my own dinner is satisfying. I wouldn't pay someone to do it even if could afford it. I wouldn't even feel like a man if I didn't do those thing for myself, to be honest.
I'm not lazy at all (work tons of hours in my job) but I don't open my blinds. First, because my next door neighbor's back yard is unsightly...but more importantly, because I have some expensive art in my house that I don't care to see faded.
There are sometimes good reasons for things that might otherwise appear as laziness.

^ Can't you just put some covers on the paintings themselves, and let them out when it's safe?
I open the curtains as soon as I wake up, and close them only when the sun sets... we get so little sunlight in this part of the world to begin with, especially in the winter... lack of natural light makes me feel genuinely disoriented and lethargic. Plus, I hear light is good for your bones. Since I can't be out all the daylight hours, especially during trying weather like this, the easiest solution is the curtains.
If my flatmate were to close the curtains on me any given day, I would weep!

My uncle (my mom's youngest brother) wins this title. I would also call him a piece of shit, alcoholic, dead-beat dad. ....and I'm being nice.
He can't get off of his ass enough during the month to pay $25 per month in child support. I mean, $25 fucking dollars!! My grandma pays it every month because she doesn't want him to go to jail. That is the part that drives me insane. His ass needs to sit in jail, sober up, etc. Maybe be somebody's boyfriend for a while, although I don't know who would have him.
He even asks me and my brother for money. I mean, jeez, he's asking his niece and nephew for money. My brother owns his own business so he knows he has money and I married well so he knows I have money. Of course, my brother's a pussy and will just hide from him if he tries to ask him. I tell my uncle straight up NO! For a while I would say I didn't have any and he would say things like, "I see the kind of car you're driving, I know you have some". Which would cause a fight anyways because I would say, "Oh so I should give the money that my husband works hard for to you so you can go drink it or smoke it away?! Why don't you pay your fucking child support?!"
I could probably carry on for another 10-15 paragraphs but I'll stop there. Y'all get the picture.

I don't open my blinds either. I have them all closed, all the time. When the light gets in, it's distracting to me. Plus I'm a privacy freak - I don't want people seeing into here, even though I have the most boring house on the block.

People cannot see into my house because I have lace curtains in front of my heavier curtains. This means the light can come in, and I can see out but othesr can't see in.
If you have venetian blinds or vertical blinds they can be opened up and people can't see in.
Besides my friend has said that the reason she doesn't open her blinds is because it is too much effort to do so not because she doesn't want light in, or because she is concerned about privacy.
I had this idiot roommate in college. He approved of the concept of recycling, but he was too lazy to simply carry his recyclable stuff out to the bin on his way out. He finished off a gallon jug of milk every couple days, so by the end of the week he usually had about 3 empty jugs under the sink with the other recyclable stuff. He was probably trying to be polite by not forcing me to haul his crap when it accumulated, but he was too lazy to walk the ten steps outside to the recycle bin to get rid of his stupid milk jugs. So what did he do, he stored them on the floor of his bedroom. Right there in a pile by his closet. A pile of moldy disgusting empty milk jugs, several weeks worth. By the time he had ten or so and couldn't move about his room anymore, he finally made the torturous effort to gather them up and make the long, painful trek out to the bin with his mold-covered milk jugs.
He was a perfectly nice guy but I wanted to kill him.

I consider "lazy" to be a conscious choice. The person KNOWS they're not doing anything and it's deliberate.
But some who are clinically depressed can appear to be lazy.
I've gotten lazier since I've been unemployed. But lazier in small things. Doing dishes, folding laundry, cooking, opening the curtains (but that last one's always been a privacy thing with me since I'm on the second floor and neighbors can see in).
Sometimes I actually work harder because I'm lazy. I'll carry a TON of groceries from my car because I don't want to make two trips. I'll finally clean my apartment in half the normal time because I hate doing it so much. Etc.
