    I fcuking hate emptying the dishwasher! I'd rather wash and dry the dishes myself than have to take them out of that fcuking machine!!!

    I initially would have said the same, but I recently bought my own gaff that didn't have a dishwasher so I had to wash things by hand for 2 months.
    I'll never complain about emptying it again.

    For me it's changing the duvet, especially in these months where it's the winter tog that's on.

    Emptying the washing machine (hanging stuff up) ive actually on occasion washed things three times rather than taking the 7 minutes it would take to hang stuff up after the washing machine stops.

    You need to set up your kitchen around the dishwasher. I can empty the whole thing without moving my feet, except for lunch boxes and serving bowls. They wouldn't be in it too often though. Makes it much easier. I walked miles emptying it when I lived at home so wasn't making the same mistake.

    Changing the duvet. I hate it with a passion. It's king size and I'm just too small to do it on my own.
    Also agree with all the anti ironing people. I don't iron anything anymore.
    My mother irons underwear, pyjamas, towels and even dusters! Get a life ffs!

    The fecking bed sheets. I was only thinking this evening after flapping around with a king size duvet cover for 15 minutes how much I despise doing it. I would gladly do anything else but the sheets. And don't get me started on the actual duvet not quite filling the duvet cover,leaving me with flappy empty corners. It's unnatural how much it infuriates me. Pure rage!

    Your house is filthy for some reason. Have you animals living in it?

    I don't get the ironing hate, I kind of enjoy it. :o I also enjoy cleaning the bathroom which seems a bit odd. I just like it to be very clean.

    Hate hate haaaate washing up. Can't wait to move into a house with a dishwasher. Not a big fan of changing bedclothes, because I'm fairly crap at it.

    I have found a great way of getting those chores I don't like done. I hold twice weekly ocd support groups in my house.....not because I have it but the house is always gleaming afterwards.

    Emptying the dishwasher and laundry.
    Every time I go to put something in the dryer there is a load there waiting to be folded and put away.

    not a chore so much, but i really really really hate buying cooking oil for some reason. Like, when it runs out I get unreasonably angry for some reason. And when I have to buy a new one, it makes me even more angry. I don't know why.

    Ironing. Christ I hate ironing.

    If i had a choice between ironing and being shot to death, I'm not sure which I'd go for.

    But it wouldn't be ironing.

    I can't stand hoovering, sweeping/washing the floors and cleaning the bathroom.

    Don't mind the other chores though.

    Can't stand ironing, thankfully himself does not mind it too much, so does the ironing for the family.

    Emptying the dishwasher, i bribe the children with anything to empty it.

    I hate them all but I reserve the most scorn for sweeping the floors.
    Christ on a cracker, it's tedious enough on it's own but my mother has a habit of yelling at me to "do it the right way". Ehm, what?
    I also hate emptying the dishwasher but I'd gladly choose that over sweeping.
