Present Perfect

What do these mean?

1. I have done this many times where I got lazy to close the windows. (Referring to what you did in the past?)

2. I have done this many times where I get lazy to close the windows. (Fact, I do this?)

Thanks.

Present Perfect Tense refers to something that has been done recently, still in progress or an experience. In this case, "I have done this many times" refers to experience. In my opinion, the first one is correct, but the second one isn't.
