    Peeing and eating. Very time consuming and boring

    It's a struggle to down a bowl of chore flakes in the morn when you are 2 minutes late. If you need to pee, theres another 3minutes down the drain

    Resisting the urge to kill.

    Brushing teeth is very boring.

    Do your chores like a good chap and if your reward chart is full by the end of the week you might get a ride.

    3 minutes to take a piss? Do you go like once a day or something?

    I hate when you break the seal on a bender and end up pissing like a racehorse for the rest of the session.

    It consumes so much time and energy.

    Pairing socks after doing a clothes wash........... *dread*

    Ironing. What a crock of shït. We can send a man to the moon, and will soon have autonomous cars, but we still have to get out a board and suffer the misery of ironing

    Emptying the dishwasher. Has to be done, just isn't any fun.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,718 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    Emptying the dishwasher and having rewash the same glasses as the dishwasher wasn't bothered cleaning them properly.

    Tying my laces - the effort of having to bend down and engage in looping and swooping and pulling pains me to no end each day. To make matters worse it needs to be done for each shoe.

    You can't say 'chore' on AH without following it up with -sex

    Washing the floor, I always find it's ends up dirty/dusty after about five minutes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,571 ✭✭✭CalamariFritti


    Cutting the grass and general upkeep of the garden. I like it when it looks not like a jungle of weeds, but I hate making it so. Gardening is not my passion. And the garden is not small. And my lawnmower is cr@p, too.

    Edit: Ok, not a daily but too often. On the daily ones it would have to be commuting. Or why stop there. Work. Full. Stop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,571 ✭✭✭MyStubbleItches


    Changing the quilt cover. I hate that job. Had to do it last night. Got rewarded though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,518 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    Ironing and dusting. So flipping tedious


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,107 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    All of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face


    Putting on clothes.

    Get a Tumble dryer and fold them when they're hot and never iron again.

    very fond of this quote form Quentin Crisp


    “There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.”


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    I used to iron my clothes but I got sick of it and stopped. My clothes don't look any worse for it. The creases just work their way out of my clothes as I move. I haven't touched an iron in about three years.

    Washing my hair.

    Shampoo - boring, boring, boring, ow, my eye, boring, boring.

    CONDITIONER - boring, boring, feels all soft and nice though and I can comb my hair with my fingers now, boring, wash it out, boring, boring.

    There - put it into Mr. Towel - all is grand as I get myself dressed.

    And now I have to dry it!?! Boring, boring, boring.

    Ok, it's not every day, and it's an extra 20 beautiful minutes in bed when I don't bother.

    This is really just a thread full of first world problems.

    No need if all your socks are identical.

    I don't mind any chores except ironing and cleaning the oven. I hate them both. I do hardly any ironing thanks to judicious use of the tumble dryer, and I get in an oven cleaning service to do the necessary oven stuff as required and line with foil in the meantime.

    Genuinely don't mind anything else, not even cleaning the bathroom.

    Beating the dust out of the rugs outside the tenement, in my short trousers and hobnail boots, with a handkerchief tied around my neck.
