Household chores you dislike
 

What are they? Maybe you even have chores you prefer doing instead?

I typically don't like cleaning the bathroom since it takes me a long time. A close second would be taking out trash since the complex I live in at the moment has a dumpster that's difficult to get to.

Hmm, well I don't do a huge amount of chores, but I guess I really dislike doing the vacuuming. It can be really tedious work, but thankfully I can listen to my mp3 player while doing it. Taking garbage out isn't that troublesome in my house.

Actually, something worse than vacuuming: washing and wiping the dishes. Such a burdensome task. :(

I loathe doing anything I have to bend over long periods of time, my height is aprox 6,2" and almost everything in my house is made for people around 5,8" so things like washing the dishes really hurt my back.

I don't like making the bed, it's such a useless effort. I have to bend over and reach for the other side to yank that up, wow that's pretty sexy actually I'm going to go make the bed. Hanging the washing out on the line is pretty annoying too, the wind blows the washing line around and around and I'll end up with wet clothes hitting me in the face. Then I'll grab it and spin it around really fast, THAT'LL LEARN 'YA.

Cleaning the bathroom is definitely a pain in the arse. I can't say I'm a big fan of chores in general, but I'll do them (they needs to be done after all), but bathroom cleaning would certainly be my least favourite.

I don't have a problem with most chores, but washing the dishes bugs me, just because I don't like to have prune fingers.
Anyone notice that paper feels really annoying after you wash your hands? Or is that just me? :\

I don't really mind doing household chores around the house. It keeps me busy and helps make the day go by a little bit faster, as well I'm kind of a neat freak, I can't feel comfortable in a dirty house.

I've learned from talking to other women that women really appreciate men who like to help around with the household chores. I do have my set chores that I choose to do, but me and fiance we divide our chores evenly.

My chores that are given to me are:
1.) Washing Dishes
2.) Doing Laundry
3.) Cleaning Kitty Litter
4.) Taking Out Trash

My mom even gave me a really great fridge magnet that says: Real Men Do Dishes

The only chore I don't like doing is when any of our animals vomit that is just one thing I can't stand so I get my fiance to do it, since all of the animals are hers.

The primary chore I cannot stand is dishes... I'll do anything else but that.

As a kid my mom would make me to the dishes while she brought in the wood, I asked if we could exchage jobs and we did. I liked bringing the wood in much better.

Definitely taking out the trash right now, because I live in a third floor condo and the dumpster is already far enough from my unit. That and its almost always raining around here (Seattle area).

Otherwise, I've always hated doing dishes. Dishpan hands is one of the worst feelings.

All of them.

No, seriously--I hate all of them.

But, I have two I really hate doing--laundry because there are 3 washers and 3 dryers for over 20 apartments, so you either have to do laundry earlier in the morning, late at night, or somewhere else....

And I hate taking the trash out because it's an obstacle course where the dumpster is. The trash truck has destroyed the asphalt in front of it, and the owners of this apartment complex can't get them to fix it.

I don't know any teenager that doesn't hate every last chore, quite frankly. Although I have come to enjoy doing dishes in some sense, more so then some of the other chore. Since I am practically the primary person doing dishes in the house I have start to developed a pretty good system of working it. If its a chore that I am not particularly familiar, or if I don't have the right tool, I generally don't really like getting into it. Although like finishes a really good rendering of a drawing, it feels like you really accomplished something when the crack of your bathroom tiles is totally clean... of course I wasn't the one that finally bleached them this time. <.<;;

I thought it might be an interesting topic to talk about a house hold chore that people do enjoy. I think we have had that discussion before. Although doesn't people hates chore anyway?

I hate all of them equally...well let me take that back. I used to hate cleaning toilets with a passion but its actually kind of fun to listen to music and put a bit of elbow grease into it. Not bad! Everything else is for the b'oids!

I don't mind any of my household chores. If I had to clean up after people I didn't know, that would bother me. I guess I just like things to be tidy. I'm sitting here at the desk thinking about how much this hallway needs cleaning anyways.

I hardly do any chores, shamefully. However, from the few that I partake in periodically, I dislike taking the recycling bin full of plastic and glass, as well as the recycling bag full of newspapers downstairs since I live in an apartment. Stairs or elevator, it's still 5 stories down and it either makes a very loud commotion if I dump it in all at once, or takes a while if I take out everything one by one.

Mostly washing the dishes and taking out the trash.

Taking out the trash is a bitch since I always hear my dad complain about how full it is, but he never wants to do it himself, so he yells at either me or my brother to throw it out. He does it himself a good majority of the time, but I hate it when he bitches about it, rather than doing something about it himself...

I also hate washing dishes when NONE of the dishes that are in there are mine. It bothers me that people want me to wash their crap when they're too lazy to do it. They probably complain when they have to do mine or whatever, but I like doing crap at my own pace. Eventually, it's gets done. Usually when it bothers me...

... Which is probably why I've been keeping all my crap clean in my dorm room. My other two roommates, don't really fix up their beds after they sleep in it. There's a pizza box that's in the living room area for about two days now. Seriously, the roommate who left it there has to take some fucking responsibility.

I hate doing dishes. Hatehatehate. ;_; Vacuuming I don't mind, heck, dusting's okay too. But dishes suck. I always seem to get stuck with nasty grease that won't come off unless I use half a bottle of dish detergent.

I also dislike putting my hand in gross water to pull out the drain plug.

After holding a summer job of dishwashing, I've pretty much developed a neutrality over my disgust towards washing the dishes.

However, I can't stand dusting everything in my room. All of the sneezing and coughing from the dust is bothersome, and taking everything off of the shelves in order to wipe away every square inch of dust is irksome. Some of my belongings are pretty heavy!

Also, hating to clean the toilet in the bathroom is a given, especially when I have to share it with three other people in my dorm.

I only clean my shower every 2-3 months, because that's about the time it shows that it needs it. It's just so much trouble to scrub, especially since the bumpy floor tends to shred the sponges I use. I bought one of those auto-shower cleaner sprayers last month, but it still doesn't help much on the floor.

Second is doing dishes, but that has to be done once the sink gets full or I need a certain bowl. I'm not quite sure why I always procrastinate dishes so much, but I do.

probably vacuuming the house. man alive do I have to move a lot of crap just to do a really good job of it.

Dishes. Just don't like to do them. I'll probably do anything else but wash dishes.

Or scrub the toilet. D=<

I can't iron for shit and I realy dislike it when people leave the dishwasher on overnight excpecting me to empty it in the morning.

Luckily we have a dishwasher so I don't have to do the dishes by hand. But still one of my chores are not unloading the dishwasher. I'm used to taking out the garbage as we don't live in an apartment and don't have to go down million flights of stairs to get to the dumpster. What irritates me is when I have to vaccum my room, but even more is when I have to vaccum somebody else's room. The most hated chore of mine is dusting my room. I have so many trophies, the computer, games, shelves that you have to pick up dust and whipe down. It takes so freaking long. Close second is either raking the leaves. Third is picking up sticks so the tractor doesn't send them flying.

I absolutely hate changing/clearing the cat litter. It stinks, it's nasty, I don't even want to go near it. But I have to, so I went out and bought a pair of thick rubber gloves and a high quality filter mask, because man I don't want any of that dust in or on me.

I really, really hate taking out the trash. This is one of those chores I inherited when my husband moved out, and it has proven to be the one that I hate most of all. The reason it's so terrible is that my driveway is eeeextrraaaa loooong (and hilly) and by the time I get the trash up to the top of the driveway where the bin is, the bag has stretched out and the plastic handles have dug into my hands and my biceps are tired from trying to hold the bag out as far away from my body as possible.

I'm getting pissed off just thinking about it.

Cat's litter box. Ironing. Making the bed. Mowing the lawn.

LeHah hates all these things!

If you had a nice, expensive John Deere, would that change your mind? I know it would with me.

I just mowed my lawn. With a John Deere. Hated it. I guess the John Deere love is a guy thing, because it didn't make me enjoy the job any more than I would have if I had used another brand of lawn mower.

Yea, I hate that shit too. But it's worth the little kitty, so.

I fucking hate folding laundry. I like DOING laundry, I just hate FOLDING IT because it takes for fucking EVER.

I actually really enjoy washing dishes by hand. I don't like dishwashers much, as they don't get my shit clean enough for my liking. But I can always rely on myself for a nice, spotless dish.

Eh I hate things that involve cleaning and wiping stuff. I don't mind washing dishes because i like the feel of the warm water.

I can't stand doing the dishes and cleaning out the bottom of the sink when what is there is likely not from me (I live with roommates, and sometimes, they neglect to do things like that). Of course, I avoid it if possible, but at some point, it gets to be unbearable. Folding clothes also takes awfully long and seems to serve little purpose for me though I could probably become a bit more efficient at it.

God damn if that isn't the truth! I despise folding clothes... in fact, there is a basket full of clean but unfolded clothes sitting in my room right now. They may very well remain unfolded.

Mowing the lawn, doing the dishes, fixing the apartment. Eating.... going to work....fixing network issues.....

That was my strategy for most of college. Wash laundry, leave it in laundry basket and slowly pull what I need out over the course of the week. The flaw in that plan is that cats love to sleep in piles of clean clothing, so if I didn't put the baskets in my walk-in closet, I'd wind up with face full of cat hair after my shower. Now that my cat yells if I close the closet door (he likes to hang out in the dark corners), not folding the laundry is no longer an option.

I'm not gonna say I like doing chores, but if I find there's something that can be done, I'd usually jump on it right away. I don't mind washing dishes, but in college it was annoying because I was usually the only one who ended up washing the dishes. They were my plates and stuff, and I let my roommates borrow them, but only one of them ever cleaned up after himself. So I eventually shot the other two in the face.

Taking out the trash is easy: trash gets full, close bag, toss bag in outside garbage bin/dumpster. Just do it. Vacuuming and dusting I kinda like. Washing and vacuuming the car is usually fun, and I might even say I take pride in that. I do laundry often, but ironing and folding is a pain in the ass. The ironing is time-consuming, but at least I can watch something while doing it; and I'm a poor folder. I hang what I can.

The only chore I absolutely do not like doing is mowing the lawn. It just takes so long, and often the day is gone once you're done. =/

I don't dislike doing any chore, it's just gotta be done so I have no problem with it. Better having a home from which you can bring out the trash, instead of not having a home and having to live beside the trash.

The only thing which annoys me is my cat sleeping in my bed even though I tell him not to. I have to change the sheets constantly because he's just a big hair-dropping monster. He understands the word NO, but there are some things he just can't accept. Closing the door to my room doesnt help either because he can open door handles.

Washing the dishes, my apartment doesn't have a dishwasher and it drives me nuts. I also hate cleaning the bathroom since it's always the dirtiest room.

I HATE picking up or cleaning up my dog's piss and poo in our home.I have three little chihuahua mixes and just about every night there's something waiting for me when I wake up. I just adopted this chihuahua from this animal hospital I was working at. He was abandoned by his owner, who supposedly got hired on at playboy, so I took him. He's the one doing it...I know it's him. I wish I could catch him in the act though. anyway that's what I hate the most.

I totally agree as well. Doing the laundry is the easy part. You would think that folding wouldn't take that long, especially if you do the laundry every week... But no! I still have 40 shirts to fold....:mad:

At least its not as often as having to do the dishes every couple days... Grr...

I have to agree with cleaning the bathroom. The toilet in particular is around to get around in some places and it's just gross to me. The bathroom is also small, so it's a pain in the ass to clean. Other than that I guess it'd have to be ironing. I'm terrible at it. xP

I hate sweeping. Absolutely loathe it. Or at least I used to before I got a swiffer vac, heck yeah. Seriously though it's the most monotonous chore I've ever had to deal with on a regular basis. Not to mention you pretty much have to mop right after or it still looks like total crap.

Surly this thread is slightly redundant, as the word chore doesn't really have any pleasent connotations.

Anyway, the household chores I can't stand doing are washing dishes and taking out the rubbish, mainly because I can't stand my hands not being clean (although I'm not quite O.C.D yet) and so having to shove my hands into dirty water or having rubbish juices sluicing all over them sickens me.

No chores. Parents clean up everything, and never forced me to do any chores when I was a kid. It kinda shows in my cubicle that I'm a lazy slob, since it's a damn mess. I think if they forced me to do chores, don't think I would be the lazy slob I am today..

Washing the dishes. The fact that its a chore that I don't do voluntarily aside I hate the nagging I get when I do wash them. My parents always like the use dish soap and soap all the dishes up first. Then when all the dishes have soap on them, rinse. Personally I like to soap'n scrub and rinse in one go. So everytime I wash I inevitably get into a small argument over which method to use.

Another vote for washing of dishes. it's plain ><
though Utada Hikaru seems to make it seem so easy in Simple and Clean PV.

dislike getting rid of dust. those dustballs turn me into rudolph ><

The only chore I really have any issue with is doing the dishes. I don't mind cleaning the house in any other way, in fact I'm very much an organized person who likes making sure everything is clean but I just can't stand dishes for some reason.
