One of the laziest jobs I ever saw was at a cave here in ohio.
One of their big attractions was "the old pump" or something like that, some stalagmite that looked vaguely like an old water pump. They had big pictures of it everywhere in the gift shop. Maybe it was unreasonable, but I went down there thinking it was this gigantic thing.
So we go through the cave tour and the guide pauses to grandly point out "the old pump". We look to our right and here's this sixtysomething guy with a flashlight, shining it on the spectacular formation as we passed. "here it is. Here it is. Old pump. Here it is. See it? here it is. Old pump. See it?"
That's literally all he did, sit beside it and shine a flashlight on it for us as we passed.
The big formation was all of about 2 inches high. I was surprised he never sat on it by mistake.
