Your *least* favorite household chore

[paper_is_sweet]

My parents are coming in from out of town on Sunday to see our place for the first time. This, of course, means a top-to-bottom cleaning for the whole place (dog included) on top of food prep.

And it means I have to clean the upholstery (my mom has asthma and the pet hair on those couches could make her really sick), my *least* favorite household chore of all time.

Because misery loves company, I was wondering what chores the rest of you found the most vile, the most hateful and the most butt paining?

[Roseasharn]

Laundry! And it never stops. Ugh!

[Gallina]

For me it's ironing. When I see an iron, my face gets sad.:biggrin2:

[Autumnlyn]

Cleaning out the fridge!!! Eeeewww. Opening those numerous 'mystery' tupperware containers and finding a science experiment is the worst!

[LadyPain]

Cleaning out the tracks for the shower door. It's vile.

[Cowboy]

Laundry. The colors are never the same after I do them.

[catnoel]

Ironing
:oo:

[paper_is_sweet]

I don't mind laundry so much. I can read while the machines run, and can usually convince the wonderful boyfriend to lug the clean stuff back up the stairs and put it away.

Our refrigerator though, oh lord....

I swear, wonderful, tasty things go in there. And then they undergo terrifying mutations. Unexplainable color-changing and hair growth... ::shudder::

Ever forgotten about fruit or vegetables in the crisper only to have them turn into complete sludge?

Foul!

[NW Groupie]

Cleaning the bathtub - especially after I've given my German Shepherd a bath!:tongue:

[jenboxer77]

The toilet and the refrigerator are the worst!

[Jack Frost]

I HATE cleaning bathrooms!!!

[Theregulator]

Cleaning the cooker.

[Natjen26]

That would be vacuuming.

I don't mind the laundry, doing the dishes relaxes me after a hard day at work, same goes for ironing.
I honestly say if you come to my house without calling first, it will be a bit messy, but hey I'm living here. :smile2:

[Haunted]

Don't forget cleaning the oven!!! I have a friend who cleans her oven specifically on Good Friday for penance:biggrin2:.

[Srbo]

Actually - nothing.

I LOVE a clean environment, so I do all that all the time and more.

My wife says that she married a good wife. :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

[staropeace]

I bloody hate anything to do with laundry.

[marew1]

Cleaning the bathroom and the refrigerator.

[Perse Jr.]

I loathe dusting. I know what dust is supposed to "be," but come on! You'd think 100 people lived here! I HATE dusting. It's everywhere, all the time, no matter how much I clean. :sad:

Oh, and cleaning around and behind the toilet is completely annoying and gross too...

[ElGuapo]

Butchering the pig.

[Kim L.]

I'm with Natjen24--hate vacuuming.

[themadone06]

It is definately cleaning the kitchen and other peoples dishes. I live in a college house with four other guys so the kitchen gets really messy. Also sometimes people will leave for extended periods of time and leave their dishes.

I let it pile up long enough until I get angry and do them myself. Recently me and another roommate have placed a bet on how long a bowl of half eaten shells n cheese and a glass of milk will sit out.

I hate laundry but not as much as touching old food mess in the kitchen.

[hipmamajen]

Don't forget cleaning the oven!!! I have a friend who cleans her oven specifically on Good Friday for penance:biggrin2:.

I love it!

I hate cooking. It seems like it just creates a huge mess, then the food is all gone like it never happened, and you have to do it again! I'd rather spend my time on something that actually lasts, but unfortunately we do have to eat...

[mstay]

ummm...I'm gonna have to go with all of them!:oo:

[Jojo87]

Everything. I hate to clean. But somebody have to do it. Now when I'm jobless I cleaning our household. Because my sister is have a summerjob and my mum is have a long workday and my dad always do something else.

[aliphil]

me i hate ironing, cleaning the toilet espesualy in my house full of boys that cant put it in the loo, dusting , god i hate all cleaning. thats what i have a hubby for lol

[morefutility]

My list would definitely be topped at picking up dog pooh out of my yard. German Shepherds evacuate like mountain lions! A close second would definitely be the refrigerator. I usually leave it until an oder arises.

[IfSoGirl]

i'm not a big fan of doing laundry. i dont mind gathering it up and throwing it in, its the folding and putting away i hate. dishes arent too fun either, esp when its the gross stuff from the back of the fridge.

[Sundrop]

I'm with Mstay on this one. Any chore is a hated chore! :)

[michal]

hanging the Laundry to dry. My GOD what a boring task!!!

[LostGraveRobber]

Dishes are the absolute worse chore in my mind. espically when they've been siting around for a couple of day *shudders*

[Butterfly06]

I hate dusting and cleaning the cat box. I would prefer to hire some one than to do the jobs myself.

[pandora]

Dishes!!! I leave the dinner dishes till right before I go to bed. (10:00pm-11:00pm) and the whole time I do them I complain to myself. I got a dishwasher but I don't like the way they come out. Never clean enough. Why can't they magically get done by elves??

[SueC]

I hate dusting! It's so pointless because it always comes back! :laugh: The washing is endless and I hate that too but it's something you can't leave like the dusting! :sad: I'm weird because I actually like cleaning my oven! :laugh:

[pandora]

I'm weird because I actually like cleaning my oven! :laugh:

When can you come over??

[BlackThorn]

Laundry. That's my worst. I let a months worth pile up before I do anything about it. I'd rather go buy more clothes, quite honestly, which... doesn't really make the problem of doing laundry any less difficult...

Cleaning in general, I usually get to when I have to, but I'm always very satisfied with the results of proper organization and complete waste eradication, so I wouldn't put it on my 'dreaded chores' list.

I don't really care about dishes, although I have a hard time doing dishes that belong to other people that ate when I wasn't even there. Otherwise I'll do them when they're my turn and get them over with. 'Specially if it's just feedin' a machine. =)

I'd rather clean the toilet than see it dirty. I don't really care about vaccuming. I empty the ashtrays as they need emptying, and recycle all the recyclables as quick as I can. I don't mind meal preparation, as long as it's mostly on my terms.

I'll open the drapes every morning, and close them every night, as well as do the same to all the windows, actually finding some comfort in the ritual.

I'd rather see the dog bowls full than empty for long at all (my doggy doesn't abuse a constantly full dish, so it's always a priority to notice and maintain their levels).

Cleaning the turtle tank and filter is another bitchy one, but that's probably because it takes nearly 10 hours, when you're doing a top to bottom job of it.

Still, if ya gotta do it, it has to be done, and diving right into it makes the entire headache go away soooooooo much quicker. (I'm allergic to mold, though post-immunotherapy, so you won't see any three day old beer bottles in my house unrinsed and unsorted, and you won't see one over my friends home either, if I'm to spend any time in there.)

Oh, I completely suck at making the bed too. I'll strip naked and roll myself in a clean sheet before I'll bother to go about making the bed most times.

I don't mind rolling the weed either. It might be a chore, but it's a necessary evil, and if you do it sloppy, it'll waste all around. I'll do it just to make sure it gets done right in that instance. (plus, then I usually get to light it and really bake the end and sip on it slowly at first, just to make sure it doesn't hotbox... get a low-temp cherry, and pull it hard, you'll get a canoe out of the deal you could survive a flood with) And who doesn't hate it when the cherry only half lights anyway, and a big chunk of slightly charred greenbud mushes off the end... yuck. That's drug abuse, I tell ya. ;)

[staropeace]

Looks at her oven ....then looks hopefully at Sue*

[arista]

Cleaning the bathroom. Being germophobe..IT is a killer.

[Lily Sawyer]

I LOATHE cleaning baseboards.

[lilredkdn]

Dishes. Doing dishes is my least favorite thing to do.
No matter how many times I ask my husband to at least throw his uneaten food in the trash, it still will be sitting on the counter, left to get hard and crusty. Ugh. I even have a dishwasher to do the hard work for me. It's just getting the dishes clean enough to go in the dishwasher. Why do I even bother?
I also hate having to clean up the kitchen after my husband has cooked. He is the messiest cook I have ever seen.

[EMARX]

Leaving for work.

[aneaglesangel]

I don't like dishes much either, but I've gotten used to having no dishwasher anymore. Boohooo, I do miss my dishwasher though! I think the thing I hate the most now is the bathroom. Sixteen year old boys must have a problem with penis control! Pee on the floor, pee on the seat, pee on the side of the toilet! Pee on the wall! From my point of view I don't think it can be all that hard to aim. Come on. Point. Shoot. Doesn't seem difficult to me! What is the deal guys? Does the penis have a mind of it's own? Does it look up at you and laugh and slither like a snake spraying venom, in this case pee, all over tarnation?? Does it sometimes gain two "eyes" and one shoots one way and one shoots the other? I mean really what's the deal with that thing? If it's that bad I think they should be labeled deadly weapons and put under lock and key!!

[BlackThorn]

aneaglesangel, it doesn't laugh at us. It laughs, with us. Aiming it is like the gravy on the relief of the act of relief. A pissing contest is a reference to a natural thing... because every guy knows exactly how far he can go. And as a matter of solid fact, it's more fun the higher up of something you're on.

If you wanna know about the "multiple stream factor", you'll want to check into the movie 'Me Myself and Irene', specifically, the "morning after" scene in the hotel, where Hank is going to the bathroom the next day...

But if you must know, sometimes you're aiming down and blasting with such force, there is a backsplash... plus, it's good to give it a strong and solid yard or two, to clear anything residual. That stuff can be tricky to aim. You ever tried to aim a speeding rogue drop of water created as the cause of another drop of water? I'll tell ya lady, it ain't easy... ;)
