  5. Yeah, I'm a slacker by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I can't work--I can't bring myself to lift a finger to do what's expected of me. Instead I talk on the phone or read Slashdot or pick my nose--anything but do the work. And the work is easy. Hell, everytime I walk into a 7-11 I realize how good I've got it and how fucked I'll have it if I lose this job (BTW, if any of my charming co-workers are reading this, I invite you to go fuck yourselves noisily--feel free to alert my manager that I'm a slacker, it's not like he doesn't know, and I'll see you in karmic hell).

    Okay, You can only drive a Ford Escort. You can only live in a 900 square foot house. You can only eat KFC. You also can only have sex with your dog.

    Shut up. Choice is good.
