Laziness reaches new heights - literally - for rooftop partiers
Watch Next

Look, it's spring and it's nice out and you want to party on a rooftop but you need food and you don't want to leave the rooftop to get the food. So what do you do?

If you're this crew, in Dublin, you gather what you can to create a nice, long rope with a basket attached to the end so the delivery guy can drop in your tasty snacks. Then, it's a simple matter of pulling up the food.

This trick is a lot easier on paper -- or in cartoons -- and in real life requires more patience and skill than you might otherwise expect. Maybe that's why a nearby crowd gave these guys such a rousing cheer when they succeeded in bringing their haul to the roof.

Let's just hope they remembered to put the delivery guy's tip in the basket on the way down.
