Tradie narrates lazy mate trying to fill a wheelbarrow

Narration of a lazy tradie’s attempts to fill a wheelbarrow may make you feel comparatively better about your own work habits.

The video credited to Ricky Robertson was published on Facebook last night showing what could be the Australia's laziest worker.

A group of men behind the camera covertly film the worker who is tasked with filling a wheelbarrow with a pile of dirt.

Despite ploughing the shover multiple times into the pile, it takes the worker almost two minutes to finally start the task, to the bewilderment of the men  filming.

During the video one man can be heard narrating the ordeal.

"This is what you call a useless c---," he says.

"What the f--- are you doing? One minute 20 second not one shovel load in the barrow."

More than 1000 people have shared the video with comments divided on the worker's actions.

"To bad our youth have more energy for iPads and phones instead of using their bodies for what nature intended it for," said one user.

"What about the bloke who seems to have enough time to record the whole think (sic)? He moved one shovel more than the bloke recording," said another.
