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!

I bet that if they go digging around they will probably find a few more dead bodies as well. At least it was a short journey for the hearse.

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.

“I’m paid to slice bread, not peel off stickers!”
“Well, you’re not paid for anything any more, you’re fired.”

“Nope, that’s meant to be like that! Now excuse me while I go and bathe in the tears of schoolchildren!”
“I think the art students have finally given up.”
I know that there will probably be a lot of people in black turtlenecks and round glasses contemplating the genius of this though.
“This was my birthday cake, my name is Aiden…”
This is like they got four letters in and thought, “Oh, that’ll do. They know how it ends after all!”

I mean, from my experience driving them, those “Flame” cars couldn’t have a more accurate thing written on them.

“Why are you stopping the bus?”
“You pressed the stop button?”
“Oh, I thought that said ‘POTS.’ I really need some…in fact, never mind.”

Either this teacher was just trying to see if people were still paying attention or they really have given up on life.
“The chosen one.”
Always work smarter, not harder. Well, unless you fix people’s brakes and suspension, dear God don’t cut corners then!
“Next guy will definitely see this!”
I hope the next guy gets there quickly, otherwise there’s going to be a lot of guesswork involved in their shift.
