What household chore do you dislike the most?

[RetroMG]

Taking out the trash is the worst for me. My garbage dumpster is in the alley back behind my house, and it's a bit of a walk down the alley to get to the dumpster. Plus, the alley regularly gets overgrown with thorny bushes and trees. All this, plus 110 degree weather in the summer (I live in Arizona) make it a truly sucky chore.

Shit! I didn't think about taking out the trash!

 

[Metalsnakezero]

Bathroom cleaning, mostly around the hard angles and having a good way to rinse.
Got a dyson V7 so vacuuming is a lot of fun and not a pain with cords.
Mopping us only a pain when people are in the way so it a matter of having the house empty.
Laundry is ok when I don't fall behind on the amount I have to clean and having time to do it.

 

[Messofanego]

My friend have you heard the story of our lord and savior watered down vinegar in a spray bottle after every shower who gave their life to protect you from such a miserable existence?


(watered down vinegar sprayed in key places after every shower prevents mold and other crap from accumulating thus making cleaning easy as shit)

Praise to Lord Vinegar, I'll heed these fine words!

 

[tiebreaker]

Ironing. I don't mind any other chore.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Dishes.

 

[Allforce]

I don't mind laundry but the rest can go to hell. I'm hiring a cleaning lady this year for all that other shit.

 

[onadesertedisland]

I suck at folding clothes. I know how to do it, I just suck at it. My wife doesn't understand that I'm not good at it. I hate it because I suck at it.

 

[Deleted member 17092]

You don't even have doing the dishes in the poll. Easily that. Even with a dishwasher it's fucking annoying. And my SO constantly just throws shit in the sink. Everyone I've ever lived with just fucking throws shit in the sink and leaves it there indefinitely.

 

[siteseer]

taking out the trash. all other chores can be done inside but the trash has to go out at night in the cold to a stinking bin drag that mutha to the curb take the recycling too oh is it snowing? is it raining? 38F? oh now its summer and the flies are out. worst 5 minutes on any given day.

 

[Bakercat]

I hate the constant struggle of messing up dishes and cleaning them lol. I'll use paper plates, but then feel bad about waste too. It's a never ending struggle...

 

[Kaako]

Scrubbing the bathroom & the damn shower.
Dishes are probably my easiest chore to do since I don't let them pile up, EVER.

 

[weemadarthur]

I hate cleaning the toilet, dusting, and grocery shopping with approximately equal fervor.

Laundry never bothered me, it's the one chore you can watch tv while you do.

 

[DrewFu]

Laundry, but just putting it away in the closet. I enjoy every other part of it, down to folding - but I cannot stand handing shit back up on hangers in the closet.

 

[noomi]

100% bathrooms, no-one likes cleaning piss and shit stains off off toilet seats. Also cleaning a bathtub/shower is a pain in the ass...

Everything else I don't mind.

 

[Goldenroad]

Definitely Laundry...mostly because...even after 20+ years of doing my own laundry, I still feel like I'm not good at it. Like my folding game is weak, my collared shirts are always wrinkled, I'm always losing socks, and sometimes I just forget to put shit in the dryer and the next morning it's like...fuuuuccck.

 

[Tangyn]

Cleaning the bathroom!

Hired a cleaner pretty much only because we both hate cleaning our bathroom.

Best decision we have made.... should have done it years ago.

As for dishes again I wish I bought the dishwasher years ago - always thought it would be a waste as there was only two of us but nope I was so wrong. Love it.

 

[BWoog]

My cats have a "fun" habit of shitting in the tub.

It sucks so much having to clean that up.

 

[BakedTanooki]

Always the fucking dishes. I don't know many things where I feel less motivated. There isn't even motivation. Feels more like being dead from the inside.

We finally bought our first dishwasher 2 months ago. Absolute life changer!

 

[Hogendaz85]

I hate cleaning so much so damn much. My wife is the opposite so I have to help her clean a lot and it stinks lol! But of those listed laundry is the pain in my ass that just doesn't ever get better.

 

[DeltaRed]

Washing and changing bed sheets.

 

[Walter White Walker]

Washing and changing bed sheets.

Click to shrink...

This usually follows the same pattern for me each time I'm putting a sheet back on:
1) figure out which way is the long way, put in place one corner
2) Can't stretch to next corner as I got the sheet the wrong way around
3) Get sheet the right direction, put in place one corner
4) Put in place next corner, first corner pops out
5) Put back in place first corner, now have two corners done
6) Do third corner, corner diagonally from me pops out
7) Say "Fuck", Do next corner
8) Do "final" corner, last corner I did pops out
9) Finally get last corner in place

 

[MatchaMouse]

No "doing the dishes" option? That's the worst for me. Murders my hands, especially in winter. And needs to be done every.single.day. often multiple times a day.

 

[Vire]

I despise doing the laundry. I just hate it with every fiber in my body. Especially since we live in apartment complex and have to go a fair distance to pick up the loads.

I don't like the idea of having to return to a chore an hour later, I rather just get it done immediately. Thankfully my wife does the laundry and I'm eternally grateful.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Laundry because of the amount of time it takes. Everything else is only annoying before you start doing it, laundry is a huge chunk of your time gone.

Yup, It's not the act of washing the bed linen, it's the pain in the ass putting on the new ones. To be fair fresh new sheets are great.

 

[Tortahegesztő]

Dusting. Takes a stupid long amount of time wiping every surface and the next day or the day after everything is dusty again.

Yeah, how was dusting not an option on this poll? It's the absolute worst.

Laundry because in a five person household, it's never finished.

I don't even notice dust until it's about an inch think.....

 

[clearacell]

Of that list, laundry. It's the only thankless one on the list...all the other ones have good results from doing them, your friends would commend you on how clean things are. Laundry is only seen by you and you're just gonna mess them up anyway if you try to find one specific thing.

 

[Galleren]

I prefer vacuuming. Love the sounds. I dont like mopping floors, but i do it from time to time. I let the wife do the toilets, cause fuck that.

Yeah never minded vacuuming or mopping myself. Kind of a peaceful thing to do despite the noise. You can just zone out and do it.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

I clicked cleaning the kitchen, but really it's doing the dishes. I can't stand it. I will clean the whole house if someone else does them.

 

[LegendofJoe]

I easily hate cleaning the kitchen the most because it's a daily chore. The other things like vacuuming, laundry, shopping, and cleaning the bathroom don't have to be done nearly as often. The daily monotony (especially when you have young kids) of it wears me down sometimes.

 

[Deleted member 46493]

Cleaning the bathroom and maybe kitchen. Definitely want to outsource it.

Laundry I just do drop off at a local place. I have a dishwasher as well.

Same here and it drives me crazy, how much harder is it to just open the dishwasher instead of putting it into the sink? It's barely any extra effort at all, so why not fucking do it?

I know, drives me nuts and I tell her it does so I think she does it because she knows it drives me nuts.

Gardening sucks ass

 

[R0b1n]

laundry takes the longest for me, so that

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

Mowing the lawn. Fuck that shit.

 

[BringBackSonics]

Cleaning the shower

 

[Yourfawthaaa]

The bathroom.

It's not that it's hard to do but actually doing it is a task man. And I'm a neat freak so I try to get every corner of the bathroom.

 

[EOS-HDC]

Washing dishes is the worst, it eats way over half an hour to finish everything. I prefer doing anything else.

 

[hoserx]

Idk why but I absolutely hate emptying the dishwasher! Probably because it's so low to the ground and I'm really tall.

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

It's cleaning the bathroom and handling the trash.

 

[Couscous]

I chose laundry and that's because dusting isn't an option. I has to be done, but everything is filthy again two days after you did it.

 

[Droidian]

Cleaning the kitchen, more specifically is doing the dishes. I'd rather do laundry, clean the bathroom over that.
Especially when the sponge gets gross and that shitty smell stays on your hands no matter how many times you wash them.

 

[shaneo632]

Hanging the washing up and hoovering. Both are surprisingly physical if you have a lot to do and can take 10-15 minutes. Not a lot of time but it feels long while you're doing it.

 

[Deleted member 47843]

I don't mind any of that stuff. I hate the yard work. Dealing with leaves in the fall/winter is the worst.
