If I'm watching TV and lose the remote, I say to whoever's there "Uhh, can you come in here for a minute?" followed by "Can you turn the volume down a notch?"
A coworker and I have a system of taking trash from the office to the dumpster, since walking 70 feet is too much work. We hop in my car, he holds it out the passenger door, then I drive up to the dumpster close enough that he can chuck it in there without getting out.
My kitchen is about 5 feet closer to my living room than the bathroom is, plus walking to it involves less twisting and turning around obstacles. So after a few drinks I just take a leak in the sink.
