Easy little things you hate doing

Lapin

Simple little everyday jobs that have to be done but you still hate doing them.

For me - Its cleaning the filter from the tumble drier. It only takes a few seconds to clean the fluff off it and its a piece of pish to do, but I still hate doing it.

emptying and loading the dishwasher.

Dishes, weeding, putting clothes on the line.

Pauleta

Charging my phone. All i have to do is plug it in but it seems like so much effort

Shaving :mad:

Tying me laces.

I have a pair of runnery type shoes that are not quite boots but they have about two extra lace holes than normal shoe/runners.

If I come home and I know I have to go out again in an hour or so I don't bother taking them off because it seems like a chore to put them on again even though I've timed it (yeah I know how that reads) and it only takes a minute even.

Stooping.

"Fuck it! You like the floor so much? Stay there!"

It takes you a full minute to tie your shoes?

parmaviolet

Turning on the light in a room. I would rather stumble around in the dark than reach and turn on the light. If I'm in the kitchen at night I open the fridge and use that as a light source for whatever I'm doing.

I really have no idea why.

Getting up from bed to have a piss or go get a drink if I am thirsty

TWO extra lace holes man. I'm considering leaving them on in the shower at this rate.

Specifically the cutlery part. Hate that.

Getting coal from the bunker, I hate having a fire lit in the house, why am I expected to help maintain it?

I'm like that too but the thing is I take a ridiculous amount of pride in the fact that I can iron a shirt really well. Extra starch on the collar - pristine, sharp, crisp - fuck you shirt.

You know you don't actually have to remove the laces from the shoes every time you want to take them off?

nyarlothothep

brushing teeth, getting dressed

Oh_Noes

Putting the duvet back in the duvet cover after washing it.

Not an everyday thing, well not for my grubby self anyways but it's the most irritating of all household tasks I find.

stmol32

This is what's so irrational about it. they're not even holes they're those hook type things. but if I slip them off then know I'll have to untie the laces when I'm going out and then tie them again which multiplies the paininthearsedness by 300%

Wait at red lights when there's no traffic going the other way.
Grinds my gears!

Deus Ex Machina

Answering the phone when you know what the person calling you is going to say. I just don't answer.

Making my bed. Christ the effort of it

stmol32

Another pain is sweeping off all the grit and stuff that somehow manages to get into your bed.

I make my bed every morning which, for some unknown reason, isn't a chore.
I tell myself to sweep the bed beforehand but I say "why bother" and then when I go to bed I always have to get up after a while to do a hand sweep.

Putting the duvet cover back on the duvet when you've washed it. Always turns into a struggle!

Ironing - I HATE IT and avoid it at all costs unless something is really wrinkled. Just get everything out on the line the minute the wash is over to avoid it. If my mammy saw how i lived she'd go mad - have to admit a childhood of ironed sheets and underwear etc ruined me. Wish it has rubbed off on me though!

Cleaning my room when it's got to a state where the carpet has clothes everywhere. I just can't hang things up. My bf is a neat freak and has threatened to leave me unless i get my act together. I don't think there's ever hope for me. I think the solution would be a walk in wardrobe which i can shut the doors too.

He won't leave you no matter what he says. Neat freaks and messy feckers are like positive and negative ions.. they just match up.

Yeah i know, that's why i don't take any notice of him. If he actually left i'd get some kick up the backside!!

When i was doing SKYPE with my family on xmas day, he interrupted and proceeded to ask my mother what type of daughter she reared (in front of all the rellies, nannies, aunts, cousins etc) and asked if they wanted to see the state of our bedroom on skype. My mother was giving me some daggers!

I was like, oh please - she put up with me under her roof for 22 years!! You're telling this to the woman who locked me out of my room and made me sleep on the landing for 2 nights until i cleaned my room and got rid of about 3 bags of clothes! Silly boy

Simple solution: Don't wear underwear.

Hah,

I know where you're both coming from. I'm messy by nature but I hate sitting in a mess. So if i can hide it I do otherwise I clean.

The trick I use on me kids is they only get pocket money if they clean their room and do one other big job around the house. It's great I have two cleaners for three quid a week each (they're only kids they don't know anything about commerce and also they usually but do a piss poor job but , as I say, they're only kids)

also, if you don't mind, when they rebel I'm going to use that sleeping on the stairs trick.

Haha use away. The room did get maintained for a while afterwards! And i was like 19 when this happened. She told me i didnt deserve a nice bedroom!

Wouldnt mind but my kitchen, bathroom, living room etc are spotless. I'm a little ocd with them, i scrub! For hours. And if someone leaves a glass somewhere i have to wash it! Weird i know. It's just my bedroom i can't control. Wish i wasn't like this!

stmol32

Don't want to be a telly nerd but there was an episode of friends where Monica had her messy closet.

stmol32

ooh, I just thought of another stupid easy thing that gives you arseache. When you're making a sambo and the last knife you used is in the sink, not clean but with too much water on it to use again, so you have a choice: wipe the knife and run it under the tap (2 seconds work) or take a new knife out of the drawer and have more washing up later on.

Later on washing up wins every time.

Taking the belt off the jeans I wore yesterday and putting it in my clean jeans. Moving my keys and money from one pair of jeans to another.

This isn't an everyday thing but I hate cutting the toenails on my right foot.

I despise hanging up my clothes after washing them and pairing off the socks. Other than that I don't really mind doing anything once I'm not hungover.
