Genius Life Hacks Brought to You by Lazy People (19 Photos)

Lazy people rejoice! August 20 marks World Laziness Day. While unofficial, it is a very real holiday celebrated in countries all around the globe.

They say necessity is the mother of invention, but laziness is definitely the engine of progress. Driven by a subconscious desire to exert minimal effort and save energy, lazy people often stumble upon brilliant ways to make life easier. Here are a few clever tricks you can learn from the masters of doing nothing.







Brushing your teeth in the shower.





Buying socks of only one color.



Owning more pairs of underwear than there are days in the year. Preferably dark-colored.



Wearing dark underwear as often as possible.



Using only one button on the microwave—the one that turns it on for 30 seconds.



Washing clothes only in cold water so you never have to sort laundry.



Sleeping in the exact same T-shirt you wore all day.



Closing bread bags just by twisting and tucking them under. No fussing with clips.



Wearing only clothes you can pull straight on or slip right off.



Eating over the sink—no dishes to wash!



Peeing sitting down. First of all, sitting is nicer than standing. Second, your bathroom stays clean much longer.



Owning multiple chargers. Plug one into your computer, another into the wall, and you'll never have to carry one around again.



Discovering the magic of the slow cooker.



Buying a bunch of bizarre gadgets and stands so you can do everything while lying down.



Leaving clothes in your suitcase after a trip. Hey, it's basically a closet!



Attaching Velcro to your mattress and fitted sheet so you never have to make the bed.



Buying Uggs. Sure, they look terrible, but they're hands down the laziest footwear on earth.



Learning to pick things up off the floor with your feet. If you can't grab it with your toes, you don't need it anyway.



Eating fruit straight with the stickers on. Okay, that's pushing it too far.
