This business of pointing out exceptions is really obnoxious. There are a multitude of good reasons to live with one's parents (hell, I've been home for a month because of depression/physical injury), but sheer laziness and internet addiction is by FAR more common than exception and quite clearly what the OP is talking about. I'm not sure why people don't get this.

Or maybe everyone's just looking to be offended.

I assume you've actually met a lot of people like this, and aren't just assuming they are out there because it feels right in your gut.

Personally, the only person I ever met who leeched off their parents and remained jobless out of sheer laziness was a drug abuser, and he generally prefers to crash with fellow drug users and girlfriends. He wasn't exactly hanging out on the internet writing fics, but if he did, there would be a lot more reasons to detest him than just his employment status.

I have however met a lot of people who spend periods with their parents and out of a job for a myriad of reasons who weren't lazy or particularly thrilled about the situation. Hell, when I was in college I lived with my parents, and sure I had a job for some of that time, but I was unemployed for some of it. And in the current economy, I know people who have gone months looking for work that will actually support them living independently.

So the lazy mooch is more the exception than the rule as far as my experience has been.

I have met many many many lazy mooches in my life, both online and off, yes.

Well I can see how you'd have a biased opinion then. But really you've just been unlucky -- it's pretty rare compared to those who are looking for employment, or have reasons why they can't attain it. It really is insulting that people have that image as their default. The OP should have specified that it was her laziness and mooching that she really disliked, rather than her employment and living situation, and she would have likely gotten no flak.
