Well, lets see, I know they like to park in the fire lanes and handicapped parking spaces so they are close to the stores and don't have to walk to far. (Seems everyone has a handicap sticker nowadays). I know they like to leave their shopping carts in the spot they parked so they don't have to walk it over to the shopping cart holding area. They like to eat out (fast food) alot; its a whole lot "easier" than thinking what to cook and actually cooking it. And when they're done eating rather than take their trash to the receptacle they like to leave it on the table they were eating at. Someone even parks their car for them at some restaurants so they'll go there rather than other restaurants. There is powdered potatoes in the store so you don't have to peel the real ones, even.
I know they like to throw their trash out of their cars (you see it all over the highways and city streets) rather than "taking" it from their car later to their own trash can. Some just fill their broken down pick-ups in the front yard with it. They even drive to the restaurant across the street from their job, rather than walk over, for lunch. And most of them have "sit-down" jobs. Some of them that could be working, don't; for some of the smallest reasons. They don't go to church on Sundays anymore.
There are lots of video rental places in town because they watch alot of TV or play video games for hours or all day. And they have alot of, "remotes" now that turn things off and on so you don't even have to get up everytime. You can even open your garage door!. They have a lot of gyms and fitness centers but they're usually pretty empty. And most cars today have power windows.
So you tell me, "Is the average American lazy"?
