Some of them hardly seem like examples of laziness. Giving a firefighter a drink, or the woman with the chin brace. Even the one mowing the lawn in a power chair - could be she's paralyzed, in which case she'd be pretty non-lazy.

Some of them are lazy, others ironic. I should have taken the picture last month of a suburban home: pesticide-ridden perfect green lawn, SUV and Van in the driveway (stuff in the garage), 3 full trash cans at the curb....and one quaint little blue recycling tote beside them. Such facepalmery!

Wasn't much hope for the structure that was on fire anyway...

The chin brace is one of a family of Japanese inventions intended to be amusingly useless, somewhat in the spirit of Rube Goldberg. Others have been dusters to attach to a cat, and a swiss-army garden tool, with folding rake, shovel, etc. See Chindogu.

I like the chopstick-mounted fan and the glue stick style butter dispenser.

Odd. At first glance, I'd thought it might be a medical device, along the lines of a neck brace.

As for the firefighter, one of the things you learn is to keep hydrated. Pass out from the heat, and the rest of the crew has to stop working on the fire and rescue you.
