Too be the laziest just isn't that bad. After work, going to the shops, cooking, cleaning the house, feeding the pets, I don't have the time to be lazy. I wish i had more time to be lazy.

The UAE should totally be on that list. The UAE Nationals have servants for practicall­y EVERYTHING (I saw one National drive to a field, with his Indian servant driving behind; the National stayed in his vehicle, the Indian got out of his car, took a model airplane from the UAE National's car, and the INDIAN flew the model airplane for the National) They are some of the laziest people I've ever seen in my life. Heck, foreigners have practicall­y built everything for that country. Not only are they lazy, they also have one of the highest rates of diabetes in the World!

When it comes to being lazy the Germans have made it into a fine art. Berlin has quite possibly the best place in the world to do nothing.

I know it feels good to be a self loathing American, but why wouldn't a survey on the laziest countries in the world take into account hours worked per week? US workers average more than most Western nations. It's not necessaril­y a good thing but we surely don't belong in the # 1 spot.

I have been all over the world and found by far the laziest people are in Panama. The canal and surrounding substantial infrastructure was built by American and French efforts; local employees on the canal make up the entire upper and middle class in the region reaping the benefits of this 100 year old canal. Panama City and surrounding areas are dumps, not because of any resource deficiency but because of their half-assed attitude towards quality work. When something breaks it doesn’t get fixed. I dare say there is a 24 of toilet paper in the entire country either.

Asian countries are well known for using lowly paid substandard slaves to clean their countries or their homes whenever they can afford it. They rarely clean up after themselves. When you see so called developing countries such as abusive malaysia and singapore employing haughty slaves from indonesia and philipine, you would get the idea asian countries have the most laziest people around.
