Comical photos capture employees who couldn't be bothered

We've all had days at work where the bare minimum is the best we can muster. 

And every one of the situations presented here reeks of pure, unabashed, employee apathy. 

One staffer at a British pub, whose boss's brief was clearly too vague, arranged a sign outside the establishment to read: 'I was told to change this sign so I did.'

Another, tasked with painting yellow lines along a curb in England, decided that since his job didn't involve moving obstructing cars, he would merely paint right over a 4X4 that was in the way instead.

Then we hav e the retail worker who looked square in the eye at a box that read 'Stop! Remove product from this box to display in store' - and just thought, nah.

Here, MailOnline rounds up a selection of amusing photos depicting people who deemed their task, that day at least, to be frankly above their pay grade.

Classic British pub: Perhaps this particular boss was a little too vague with the brief

Fenced off: This employee took a short cut which, somewhat defeating the point, means pedestrians can also very easily take a short cut

Delegation is key: Not the most reassuring sign to be presented with at a medical centre

We've all been there: The struggle was all too real for this chap, and a nap was his only solution

Obstacle: As far as this worker was concerned, painting yellow lines was within his job requirement - moving parked cars out of the way was not 

Heart-felt: Whoever ordered these flowers wasn't quite sure what they wanted to convey, as will have been glaringly obvious to the recipient when the card showed up

Winging it: Two examples of retail employees who were feeling extra-specially lazy that day

Not ideal: This was wryly captioned 'Just done repainting the lines for this busy road in the middle of a major public university, boss'

Decisions, decisions: It appears these two may have noticed their error. The question is, will they correct it?

What would Gordon Ramsay say? Sheets of cheese chucked unceremoniously over a dish of penne pasta does not a macaroni make

Smart Alec: We're guessing this staffer's boss will have something to say about this creation

Too much faff: Either this chap literally couldn't be bothered to erect his tent, or it collapsed while he was in it and he simply couldn't be bothered to fix it

Entirely defeating the point: This water (left) will not taste lemony, and these Skittles (right) shall not dispense 

Lean back: The story behind this is unclear, but it seems highly unlikely that these fireman are actually dealing with a life-threatening situation 

That'll have to do: At least some token effort has gone into the display on the left... more than can be said for the job on the right

What have we here? It would actually have taken significantly more effort to arrive at this loo roll monstrosity than to attach it normally - so is there a grudge behind it? 

The world's gone mad: A gentleman aghast at the asymmetry witnessed (left), and an employee who's making the best of a potentially boring day (right) 

Man with a plan: Some would call this laziness - mowing the lawn on a Segway - or you might label it pure genius

When all else fails: Who honestly has not seriously considered the prospect of throwing in the towel and fashioning a sleeping post under one's desk?
