sits around
Lounges doing nothing
Sits around describes idle time spent without productive activity.
The phrase often carries a note of criticism or self-deprecation: He just sits around playing video games all day, I can't sit around waiting forever.
Someone who sits around does little of consequence, whether by choice or circumstance.
