Much to his detriment. Anyway, as the others in the 'share' house were working, we used to try and motivate this young bloke to do at least one or two little things during the day for the others' in the house who would arrive home from a hard days yakka, exhausted. Then one day the lady asked him, "I've arrived home having left milk in the fridge for cups of tea and the odd bowl of cereal or whatever else and its all gone". Then she asked why he hadn't gone to the shops to get another pint of milk to refurbish the one he had scoffed down at five in the morning. Not suggesting he was compulsive / obsessive with his I Ching use, but the worst excuse came out. He had asked the I Ching, "What would it be like if I went down the street to buy some milk". With 4 Meng Youthful Folly, he had given up and gone back to bed for the day.
