What chores do you REALLY dislike?

Asked by AmWiser (14947points) June 28th, 2011

It’s wash day today and I’m dreading sorting, spot cleaning, loading the washer, unloading the washer, than putting the clothes in the dryer. After drying, there’s folding, and putting the clothes away. Whew!!

So, What are your most detested chores?? Indoors or out.

At home: washing windows. At work: reviewing a co-worker’s monthly expense report.

I’m a messy person by nature (not dirty just messy, my home is quite cluttered) and I hate that moment when I realise I have to do a bit of tidying up!

Changing the water in the turtle tank. Yucky yucky yucky!

I’m not a big fan of cleaning toilets, and I’m thankful others can be paid to do the chore. Keeping my closet in order would rank among the least liked, too.

Vaccuming. I hate that within a few minutes people will walk on it, (including myself) and then it doesn’t looked vaccumed anymore. Feels like a waste of time. I wish I had all hardwood floors or even just tiled. They all get dirty but carpets just always look messy in the end by the end of the day.
I need proof that it was cleaned.

Cleaning the blinds. Tedious!

Cleaning up the kitchen after cooking. No matter how much I clean as I go, it’s still a mess. But I love cooking. So I clean up almost everyday.

I hate painting the fence.

Kitty litter.
Cleaning the bathroom.

Cleaning the bathroom and the kitchen.

redfeather's avatar

Cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, weed whacking, changing the diaper genie.

Changing the litter pans is by far my most hated chore. Scooping is nothing, but when it comes time to change them, I despise it.

I also dislike dusting. That is the one chore that I will not do, so I always make the wife do it.

@redfeather diaper genie??

Pele's avatar

Mowing the lawn! Cleaning the gutters! Sweeping the garage. All outside chores with the exception of gardening, which I love. Oh, I also hate taking hair out of the drain in the shower (gag).

redfeather's avatar

@AmWiser a special trash can for diapers. If you don’t change the plastic right the air comes out and your house reeks like a thousand baby farts.

@redfeather I thought it was something you rub and it gives you three more chores to do.

blueberry_kid's avatar

Vaccuming, Laundry, Bed making, Dishes, Dusting, Raking Leaves, Taking out trash, Mowing the lawn, Walking the dogs, Folding laundry, Sweeping, Mopping, Wiping down the counters..etc. But,you know…the essentials.

I loathe and detest laundry and dusting.

LuckyGuy's avatar

Taking the mower deck off the tractor and putting on the blower and vice versa. It is an awful job that must be done 2x per year when the seasons change. I start dreading it about a month before I really have to do it.

rebbel's avatar

Ironing.

erichw1504's avatar

Feeding my pet piranha. It really bites.

redfeather's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe it works that way too.

Cleaning the trolls out from under my bridge.

gondwanalon's avatar

I’m OK with doing any household chore except washing walls. I really struggle with that.

erichw1504's avatar

Vacuuming, it really sucks.

pshizzle's avatar

Vacuuming, watering the plants, feeding the dogs, taking the dogs out, running around like a chicken with their head cut off, etc.

YARNLADY's avatar

Washing off the cu[board doors, cleaning the refrigerator, cleaning any hard to reach place (which is nearly every surface in my house).

tedibear's avatar

Vacuuming, dusting and cleaning the bathroom. Anyone who would like to trade doing laundry or dishes for any of those chores, I will happily work out a deal with you.

athenasgriffin's avatar

Washing my cat. I get all cut up.

MilkyWay's avatar

Cleaning my room.

Ron_C's avatar

I’m with @worriedguy I have to take off the mower deck, and install the snow blade. The worst part is putting on the wheel weights and tire chains. I hate the chains but you can’t plow a snow covered driveway without them.

The spring clips that hold the mower deck together with the tractor hardware are hard to put in and take out, there always seems to be blood involved. It’s the main reason there’s a first aid kit in my shop.

Dealing with dusty stuff and bathing my cats, Ouch!

Neizvestnaya's avatar

Sweeping and then mopping floors.

Berserker's avatar

Cleaning and changing the kitty box. Dude, gross.

mazingerz88's avatar

You ask this question like there really is a chore we don’t really dislike. Even uttering the word chore is a chore. : )

Berserker's avatar

Cho…damn dude, you’re right!

AmWiser's avatar

@mazingerz88 LOL! so true, so true.:)

Berserker's avatar

Chor…tshww..oooaaaa..rrr…too hard! I give up. Let some other fucker try his hand.

aprilsimnel's avatar

Bathroom.

Ugh.

anartist's avatar

vaccuuming. Always thought of it as a male chore—it is noisy and uses external equipment.

woodcutter's avatar

The dishes. All the others I really don’t mind doing at all, especially if someone else is handling the damn dishes.

anartist's avatar

@athenasgriffin and @Your_Majesty why do you wash your cats? I have never washed any of my cats except for one sweet baby boy who used to come in the shower with me and let me shampoo him.

erichw1504's avatar

Leaf blowing, it really blows.

heloise's avatar

I hat washing my window from the outside. So I hired someone to do it for me. Only costs me 20.00. I figure I am saving money this way. It would take me maybe an hour to do so (time spent doing something else), and the cost of cleaning supplies (i.e. paper towels and window cleaner). He even cleans them in the winter. Best decision I have ever made.
