Call me crazy, but we are all LAZY!

I have said it before and I say it again....Americans are lazy! Myself included. Before you go and get all mad at me, let me finish. Be honest, think about it...have you done this?  You are walking into target or wal-mart...and you notice you are in front of the MANUAL door...do you proceed to open the door with your own physical strength? OR do you take 4 extra steps to the AUTOMATIC door? How lazy is that? Most of us WILL walk over to the one that open for us. How many times do you see a perfectly fine person hit the handicapped button to make the door open instead of pulling it open themselves? We have cat boxes that clean themselves, vacuums that go all by themselves...all day. Dishwashers, riding lawnmowers, meals in a bag, we can't even cook our own fresh veggies anymore...instead of taking 5 extra minutes we would rather "steam" (boil to death) them in the microwave for 3 minutes. I am guilty of a lot of these. At what point is trying to save time and make life easier just plain lazy?

Take the Internet...Facebook, twitter whatever you use...This is making us so lazy. Not for the fact that we sit in front of a computer (although that too is lazy) but, we are taking the work out of socializing. And frankly it is hurting us. Take me for example. I am somewhat socially awkward. I get on facebook and people I hardly know talk to me we have conversations (it is not the same as a real one because it is easier to talk to people when you are just typing for some reason) so I see that person in real life and it is AWKWARD!

ME: HI how are you
PERSON: Hi, Good, and you?
Me:Good
Me: **BLANK STARE**
PERSON: **BLANK STARE**
ME: Okay have a good day bye!
PERSON: Bye!

It takes the work out of interaction, so when you really have to, you have no idea what to do. What are you supposed to do when you meet an FB friend you really don't know, and it's weird from the beginning...for both people? Throw a Status quote out there and hope you get a comment to respond to?

Another one...parking, we will drive around a parking lot 7 times to get three spots closer to the door. We have drive thrus at gas stations because we are too lazy to go in and get our soda. We order movies on TV so we don't have to go to the video store.....the list could go on forever my friends.
