You're assuming they possess sufficient psychic powers to automatically know the lazy guy is lazy.

Unless there's a tell-tale giveaway (like former employers listed for references who all complain about how lazy the person was), a potential employer isn't going to have any real way to detect something that intangible (at least not until after you've already been working for awhile). Unless you're literally walking into a job interview and going "Hey, heads up, if you hire me I'm totally going to half-ass any task you give me", they won't know you're going to screw them over until after you've screwed them over.

To be fair, I did once get a job when I told them I was lazy in the interview.
