I was “unlucky” enough to be born and raised in a manner that made me a lazy sack of non-working shit. I can’t even rouse myself out of the bed to answer the fucking door. Damn this luck! If only I were born and raised to become a hard worker! But, alas, I had no say in this.
It’s obvious I was “unlucky” enough to be cursed with these lazy tendencies, and I have no control over them. Now, gimme some money.
