Laundry.
It never fucking ends. It's just the sheer volume of it and the dread at putting it all away once dry.
The thing I'm most looking forward to about one day living on my own, is having only one lot of washing to do.
What about you?

People who walk towards a shop in front of you and then inexplicably stop at the entrance, causing everyone behind them to stumble into each other.

Job insecurity.

Life would be much nicer if I felt like the industry/organisation I work in wasn't imperilled!

My excess weight.

Cleaning. I don’t have a cleaner, but if I did that would eradicate about 90% of arguments in the house (as well as generally making it a bit nicer and cleaner to live in).

HA! If only we could lose weight as easy as we lose pens, keys etc.!

Literally every time we fart we actually lose weight so how comes I'm not skinny by now?!

Assuming your farts are mostly methane, when you fart you gain weight, because methane is lighter than air. 😁

I rarely dust either and you really can't tell!
As far as all those quoting laundry, maybe if people didn't follow the MN mantra of using a bath towel once, changing every item of clothing at least once a day then the load would be far less. A lot of it is totally unnecessary.

Agreed. Washed my bath towels today for the 1st time in ages!!

The friend who expects me to look after her dog for weeks on end while she’s sitting by a pool with her family. This time hasn’t supplied enough food, no poo bags and one dog chew to last a month. I’m really pissed off now.

There is a really easy solution to this one though… just say no.

Racists.

Also the pigeons that live at my main workplace - it's like they feel contractually obliged to crap on our cars.

My mum's rescue Staffie recently passed away. She found one of her hairs inside a photo frame the other day! They got everywhere. I don't know how owners with long-haired breeds cope.

You cope by buying a Miele Cat And Dog Vacuum, is what you do.
I have had my Golden Retriever rescue dog 15 days. I have had my Miele Cat and Dog 14 days. One Miele vacuumless day was enough for my sanity, thank you.

I barely do it so wouldn't change my life🤣
Definitely laundry.
