Everyday life can be bloody exhausting from time to time, which can make doing even the easiest of tasks seem incredibly difficult. However, sometimes, people just phone in whatever they’re meant to be doing as they can’t be arsed.
From children giving up on their plans for the future at a remarkably early age to employees who phoned it in in the most spectacular way possible, here are 16+ times people gave up…and it showed!
“When the exam is too tough…”
“Invigilators will go around with a bucket for you to cry into when you inevitably feel the need to.”

“After the 13th ‘C’ was stolen, they pretty much just gave up.”
Maybe they should just paint the “c” on? Although, I feel that it would be easier for vandals to actually just paint it over with yellow.
