    I like mowing grass as well but I don't like putting away the mower so I just leave it there.

    Getting out of bed. It's a real irritant to me, my mattress is so fcukin comfy that when I have to get up for work, I literally want to shoot someone in the face.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Cleaning out the cat litter trays. As I have 3 cats, 2 of which are indoor only it's a pretty regular job.
    Doing the dishes, I resent the fact that they are always left for me to do.
    I don't mind waking up, but I HATE getting out of bed.
    I really hate leaving the house-no matter where I am supposed to be going. Even if I've looked forward to something for ages I often can't go at the last minute. I was diagnosed with agoraphobia years ago, but it's not as bad as it was by any means -i can go out almost daily now- but some days there might as well be a brick wall built in front of my door for my ability to walk through it.

    Now, I do love cutting the grass....

    F*ckin hate emptying the yoke that collects the grass, though. Stupid flap thing keeps closing on my hand when i empty it into the stupid black bag. The bag doesn't stay open either and the grass goes all over the place. Whatever grass comes out, that is. Most of it won't budge until I reach my hand in and drag it out. And who's holding the black bag when I do that? NO ONE! So it's f*ckin rake time again.

    Stupid, stupid grass.

    I hate when the lawnmower keeps cutting out because the grass is too wet and gathers up around the blades :mad:

    Floors, sweeping hoovering and mopping I really dispise it.

    Dishes.

    In fact any kind of cleaning whatsoever, it just seems like such a waste of my time, I don't even get satisfaction out of the fact that its done because I know that I'll have to do it again, and again, and again.

    I hate grocery shopping because it just seems so inefficient to me, take the food of the shelf and put it all in the trolley, take it all out of the trolley and put it on the conveyor belt before putting it back in, then out to the car where you take it out of the trolley again and into the boot, drive home where you take it all out of the boot and inside and finally put the whole lt away, tha really is just too many steps to get it home, I know there is online shopping from Tesco but I only like Aldi.

    Putting duvet covers on duvets makes me angry and frustrated. I HATE changing them but do them all every week. Four duvets to change every week. Sometimes I'll ask himself to do it because he knows how mad it makes me.

    I used to hate washing clothes and ironing them for 4 people until I discovered a launderette close by that does a huge extra large sack for only twenty euros. Problem solved.

    I HATE cleaning the toilets out, love when its done though. And then one of them goes a takes a big sh!te straight after and stinks out the place when I've just put the toilet duck stuff in. Makes me bloody annoyed. :mad:

    Drying my hair.

    Putting clothes on the line, taking clothes off the line, ironing clothes, putting clothes away. I like clothes though.

    I have no dishwasher anymore and I hate more than anything washing cutlery and delph etc... There just seems to be a constant flow of items to wash.

    After reading this thread and agreeing with almost every single post, I've realised that the only activity that doesn't make me angry is sitting on the couch :P

    My trick is to imagine the duvet cover is a pair of jeans I used to wear 15 years ago. Line it up and keep wiggling until you get it in.

    Folding clothes, especially T-shirts. I haven't mastered the art of folding a T-shirt properly and the sleeve bits never sit right, so it never looks neat.
    Folding towels is rage-inducing; you grab both corners and fold but THEY NEVER MEET UP FOR SOME REASON leaving you with an uneven side.

    Changing the duvet cover because I have weak arms and hooshing the duvet (I have a goose feather one) down the bed so the feathers reach the bottom just makes my arms ache.

    Changing the fitted sheet, also, no matter what size I buy, no matter what I do, one side of the bed always has more sheet than the other
    That night, you get into bed...you wake the next day and THE FITTED SHEET HAS COME AWAY FROM THE MATTRESS.
    You ignore it for a while, but the next day it's completely come away from the corners.
    It's enough to make me cry.

    Dropping something on the floor is another one.
    I suffer from acid reflux so if I bend over, I get raging heartburn.
    I was drying the dishes today and I dropped the same spoon FOUR TIMES.
    I actually said to the spoon "If you fall once more, I'll kill you."

    Cleaning the fridge is tiresome too.

    Cleaning the toilet-I don't really mind cleaning it but I do hate when you lift the lid to clean it and you notice some poo and you wipe it with a tissue and you try to avoid looking at the tissue which has the unmistakable brown mark on it and it makes you retch.

    Cleaning dried toothpaste off the sink.

    Cleaning pots with dried-on baked beans.

    I'll think of more later.

    I hate lawnmowing full stop. To the point where I declared the front lawn a wildflower meadow and anyone who doesn't like the wildflower meadow look can go and shyte. This has worked so beautifully that I have decided to expand on my acerage of wildflower meadow and binned the mower. The butterflies are delighted, the Missus remains to be convinced.

    One of the best life-skills I learned was while chambermaiding in Germany many years ago was how to put a duvet cover on with minimal effort.... having 15-20 to do per day (double beds had two single duvets on them) fairly concentrated the mind!

    PM me for instructions if you want!
