English Language & Usage Asked by chris brits on June 13, 2021
I sometimes ask my brother if I can get a ride to work or tell him to move, but he always tells me “no” or waves me off. He also does the same thing when he is told to do something, like when he is told to do the dish or do the laundry; he says “no” or just ignores the person.
Simple: he is a do-nothing person.

I would think such a person is a naysayer:
one who denies, refuses, opposes, or is skeptical or cynical about something (Merriam-Webster)
e.g.
Many people pitied my commonsensical, public-spirited child for being raised by an antisocial naysayer like me. (WordHippo)
