Lootequiette: Pmann's Totally Original/Unaffiliated Thread

Why do we avoid these small tasks? But what I really want to know is, what tasks do you lazy fuckers avoid?
Dishes and cleaning the kitchen. I was just in there earlier and gottdamm is it shameful. If I kept up with it daily there would be no problems. But blow it off for a week and what do you get? This ridiculousness.
 
I doubt those army of hands know how to properly crease and fold a French cuffed shirt. It’s just not realistic. Or would they fold my slacks in a manner that would create another crease? Sad.
I managed men's dept at Nordstrom for two years, I assure you, as a General I am a well qualified to train my laundering army. Besides, who other than commoners fold a French cuffed shirt? Those are pressed & hung, of course. And, creased slacks are hung by the cuff in the steamer before being placed in their respective closets. Lord? More like knight, at best.

I fucking love you. You deserve 🍻 🥂

I have to admit, I have considered getting 1 stainless steel plate, 1 stainless steel bowl and 1 stainless steel cup and just rinsing them off between meals. I feel like that is the first step to becoming a Loner Maniac Weirdo, so I’ve avoided doing it, but I still consider it every now and then.

I could get on board with that! In the summer, when life is crazy, I buy a Costco stack of paper plates & cups, and biodegradable forks/spoons, to cut down on the responsibilityof leaning/washing. The closer I am to being an empty nester, the more I think I'll do this year round. Makes sense, since my army of cleaners will have moved on.

I basically do that. I use the same spoon every morning to stir coffee. Drink from the same 2 coffee cups. And I use the same 2 glass plates.... I only cook 2 meals a week and eat leftovers the other days.

And my breakfast skillet can go for a couple weeks with just the occasional rinse. I just cover the bacon grease and use it again a day or 2 later.

After my brother and I left, my parents went to putting paper plates on top of their glass ones to not do dishes

Then they use the same couple glasses every night... My dad has begun cooking a lot more since retiring but now he cleans up immediately after cooking.

I cook, I don't clean up, house rules. I'm pretty sure I'll get some sort of meal service when it's just the two of us left. I HATE cleaning.

For the longest time we only had four plates/bowls/cups, etc.
It was great. Made entertaining hard.

Now I have so many dishes. It's kind of ridiculous at this point. At least it's Corelle, so it doesn't take up a ton of space to have enough to cater a Mormon wedding.
 
I like visiting West Coast communes. Those east of the Mississippi are just ficking weird

Full disclosure, totally tried this and it works to an extent. Then you have house guests or friends over and that goes away quickly.
 
Hey gang. Happy Wednesday.

Sometimes we go well out of our way to avoid doing something that’s so simple. It could be a task that takes almost no energy. But you ignore it or go out of your way just to keep from expending the smallest amount of energy.

For instance, when bringing in groceries, I will sacrifice my fingers to avoid a second trip to the car. I’ll carry in 12 bags, cutting off all circulation to my fingers (oh the finger pain), potentially dropping and destroying my cans of caviar and charcuterie, just so I don’t have to go back to my car. To be fair, it’s hotter than hell outside where I live. But I do this in the winter too.

Or maybe I’ll drop my cell phone whilst on the couch. Do I bend over and pick it up like someone with a working spine? Nope. I’ll try to pick it up with my toes like a sophisticated little monkey. My toe cramps and I eventually have to pick it up anyway.

Why do we avoid these small tasks? But what I really want to know is, what tasks do you lazy fuckers avoid?
  • Watering the plants

You seem to know an awful lot about this stuff. Anything you want to tell me??

I’ve tried to start a lot of sex cults. But my feet are too clean and my standard of living doesn’t involve dirt. So they’ve all failed. I’m trying to start a Brooks Brothers or Ralph Lauren themed one. But those girls are very difficult to convince to join my cult, despite recruiting in my sea creature/crustacean themed chinos.
 
  • Putting gas in my car - If there had been a service for this, I would have used it. Forget the flowers for Valentine’s Day. I’ll buy my own chocolate. Brave the cold weather and fill my car with gas and you’re absolutely getting climbed like a tree every single time :D
  • Filing expense reports - I have considered paying someone else to do them 😂
  • Unpacking my suitcase - I just take things out as I need them until it unpacks itself 😆
  • Folding laundry - When I lived alone, that’s what my kitchen table was for 🤭

This!! All of this!

Move to New Jersey where all gas stations are full serve.

I definitely agree on the last 2. I'm looking at a half unpacked suitcase right now. I'm sure by next week, I'll have worn those clothes and it will be unpacked.

We have a clean laundry couch. I will do all the sorting, washing and drying but someone else has got to fold that shit. Why do you think I had 3 kids.
 
I’d rather eat a barrel of water with a fork.

I like the mentality that I am not capable of pumping my gas, but the guy chain smoking out there next to the gas pump totally is.
I was just offering a plausible solution to the problem. Bogey Consulting, LLC didn't even charge a fee.

But you created a much bigger problem by suggesting someone go to Jersey. It’s like recommending a person with an itchy mosquito bite in their hand chop off their arm in order to stop the itching.

Do not hire Bogey Consulting, LLC. I don’t care if it was established in 1892 like it says on his sign.

My dear MrPmann, please don't besmirch your reputation with such silly mischaracterizations. It shows ignorance. While, like many states, NJ has some less desirable areas, the state has much beauty and some of the wealthiest communities in the nation. Don't believe the MTV representation of the Jersey Shore. Visit places like Spring Lake, Seagirt, Avalon and Beach Haven. I myself have never lived in NJ but I have visited often and I suggest you do the same before judging. Have some tomato pie, embrace the jersey corn and tomatoes and other fresh fruits and vegetables their soil produces. Don't fall victim to the "what exit" jokes from when you and I were in kindergarten. Show the wisdom you have gained through experience and enjoy your retirement. Embrace exploration and don't fall into the trap of being a bitter, old retiree. It will age you even quicker.

There are some great beaches in Jersey.

I agree, don't go for the low-hanging fruit comments. We expect more for our entertainment value.
