Chores you hate doing.

What chores do you like least?

Right now I have to take in turf, which is a fcukin pain as the stack is more secure than the pentagon. Also fcuk hoovering and gardening.And clipping my toe nails.

Love cleaning the outside windows, but hate doing the inside windows. Dunno why.

Putting on duvet covers

Hoovering.

It would actually hang like a cloud over ever Saturday, the mix of hangover and hoovering.

Now I don't go out and we get a cleaner in once a week for 3 hours. It's a happier equilibrium...

As for gardening, I don't mind cutting the lawn, but weeding is awful.

Yeah weeding is the worst for me. You never get them all. No job satisfaction at all.

Painting.

Painted the inside of the house last summer and never realised how tedious it was going to be.

Cleaning the oven would be another one.

Yes. Particularly painting the white ceiling white.

I hate the fact that if I start some job like painting I have to do it perfectly. I spend ages doing things the wife would do in five minutes. That's why I let her do things.

Hanging the washing out on the line to dry

Taking out the bins, can't somebody else do it?

Cleaning the oven is the worst, inaccessible

I don't mind cleaning the toilet, I feel it's a good thing to do and i feel better for doing it.

My toilet sounds like it's real dirty now, not particularly dirty I'll have you know. =D

Ironing, I hate it.
Every time I open the hot press and see a big load of clothes to be ironed I know it is going to be such a chore for the wife!

Go with pyro-clean next time- it will release you from the slavery that is oven cleaning- I haven't cleaned an oven in over 6 years; i just press a button and in 2 hours my oven is spotless.

Yeah, pyroclean all the way.
Unfortunately, my oven died recently and you simply cannot get a double pyroclean oven. I had to go for one with catalytic side liners and a washable liner for the bottom. Working so far.

I strongly agree with every single post. I hate them all

Lately I've started to really despise taking up the ashes from the fire. Dust gets everywhere.

I find putting on the sheet is worse, do one side, try the other and it pops out.
I hate drying dishes, but I do not mind washing them.
Hanging out/taking in washing is awful, but ironing is fine.

Ironing. Absolutely hate it and frustrates the hell out of me.

Also changing the sheets and duvets on the bed.

Yeah taking out the ashes is a bit annoying too.

The oven, without a doubt. Just about anything else I can tolerate, but the oven breaks me. I get a lot of use out of it, so it looks every bit of it.

I use oven liners to try limit the damage, but it takes a couple of rounds of the intoxicating Mr Muscle to get it up to some standard of cleanliness. I've used oven pride, and all all those other things, but some stuff still needs a hand scrub. In the heat of the moment I've fantasized about throwing a stick of dynamite in the oven and closing the door.

Ironing

Ironing (always seems to take forever) and oven cleaning are the worst, I don't mind hoovering or cleaning the bathroom though.

I won't cut my own toenails. That's disgusting beyond belief.
Hate ironing. Hate the garden too.

have a dishwasher which is a lifesaver, but obviously pots and pans need to be scrubbed manually. I do scrambled eggs a few times a week and its the worst thing to remove from the saucepan.

Scramble them in a non stick frying pan and use a spatula. Never sticks.

I'm going to try this ...I use a washing up brush to clean scrambled egg and porridge pots and it turns my stomach when the food sticks to the brush.

BTW if this works it will be the second tip I've taken from you...keep them coming ðŸ˜

I actually love it. My wife couldn't iron to save her life. I put on good headphones, crank up the volume, and tune into Deezer. Kids and herself don't get 2 syllables out of me when I am ironing but they do get the odd impromptu karaoke song.

Littlehorny

Dusting hate hate it. The smell of the polish, the feel of the cloth, moving everything just to put it back in same place. Horrible job, would rather scrub a bathroom than do the dusting.

I'd be hard pushed to cut someone else's toenails for them, they'd want to be well infirm before I'd even consider it!

Emptying the dishwasher.

Washing clothes, drying clothes, putting away clothes.

I delegate when it comes to those jobs. I'm going to have to start putting them away myself again after listening to my husband give out about someone else having his favourite work shirt in their wardrobe. I pulled all wardrobes apart and eventually found the fecking thing happily hanging in his own wardrobe.

Hate mopping too

Nope!

She actually hates it so much that i get to trade for most of my unfavoured stuff. I do wait til she's not around though cos there's no way she'd trade if she saw how little time it takes me.

Forgot that one. Hate it so much, I prefer to wash the dishes myself and put them away straight away, much to my wife's annoyance. She also hates emptying the damn thing.

Yeah to me feet are almost as dirty as arseholes. Not a hope would I be trimming someone else's toenails.

Wtf do people be ironing?

The only thing I could imagine ironing is a shirt and I've by and large stopped wearing them.

Problem solved.

Cleaning the shower trap *puke, puke*
A job always mysteriously left to me

Oh... Another one... One of my OH's sons, who doesn't live with us but visits regularly, always manages to pee everywhere except actually into the toilet bowl... Then buggers off home leaving pee all around the hinges of the toilet seat. He's old enough now to aim right, and has been warned about it time and time again. Ick. Just Ick.

I'm not a fan of any household chores, but the bathroom has become my arch-nemesis
