Ever lived with someone who was genuinely lazy?

It's not easy, is it? They sit down for hours all day and drink nothing but beer and smoke a lot of cigarettes. They only get up to go to the bathroom or to grab another beer. Or worse, they ask you to get it for them because they don't want to move off that chair. For my mom and me, this is a daily occurrence. What about any of you? How do you manage living with someone who is just so very lazy?

My mom hates such person too. She told us that if we will be staying in another house, we should not be lazy. We should be helping in the house even it is not our own.
In our family, once someone is lazy, he or she will always receive a nag from either my mom or my dad. I don't want to be nagged at so I make sure I am doing something always.

@Firestorm0122 Oh, that is frustrating. Too lazy to have a personal hygiene? I hope he does not stink.

We are somewhat like this. I went over to my sister's house while she was at work, and took care of her three dogs, and saw her kids had left the house a mess. I ended up picking up things off the floor and got the dogs all fresh water. My mom's boyfriend on the other hand? This is the man if he must go across the street for any reason, he will drive there. He barely even showers. It's humiliatingly sad.

When I use to live with my roomates they barely washed the dishes. We use to take turns doing things like one day someone will do the dishes the next day someone else will do it, then I started doing the dishes every day because they got too lazy. That bathroom was just ugh! I don't even want to say what the toilet looked like. No one wanted to vacuum or mop the floors. I got out a few years because I am not a slave and could not continue cleaning after a bunch of grown women. I bet they are all living like pigs now.

I'm going to take a wild guess here. They were the ones who dirtied up most of the dishes and the bathroom? This is the case with our situation. He eats most of the food, dirties up most of the dishes, and leaves them to my mom or me to wash. The bathroom is a nightmare to clean. I won't even go into detail about the mess he left in the bathroom a week ago. I almost became literally sick. And I wouldn't doubt it either that your room-mates are living that way.

although i'm glad we don't have anyone who drinks and smokes, yes, we do have members who don't care to help, yet complain and criticize. they don't realize how one-sided they are.

That does sound one-sided. Hypocritical even. I wonder why people do that? You work very hard while someone just sits back and does nothing to contribute, and yet has the nerve to complain and criticize? I would be very angry. And you know, you just reminded me of something that happened a few months back. I had made myself something to eat, and accidentally spilled something. Just before I could get the dish towel to clean it up, he remarks, "You're cleaning that up, right?" I wanted to throw the dish towel at him and tell him he was. It was a challenge to not do such a reaction.

That would aggravate me to no end. When a person is invited to dinner, it's common courtesy to help clean up as a way of saying thank you. At least in my opinion it is. I don't get some people who just don't want to do anything.

@Firestorm0122 I couldn't agree with you more. I was raised that way. If someone is over to our house for dinner, I expect them to at least offer to help with the dishes.

It's aggravating. I know we can all get that way at times, but a person who doesn't do anything at all is just beyond useless and unwanted.
