What normal household task do you irrationally hate?

Our dishwasher has broken so we're having to wash up. I've remembered that I completely HATE washing up - no idea why. It feels ridiculously primitive to me, like taking clothes down to the stream with stones! We never had a dishwasher growing up so it's not even like something I've always been used to. I'm perfectly happy doing other cleaning up jobs in the kitchen, listening to music and pottering about. Don't even mind doing the bathroom and toilet!

I've got three different vacuum cleaners for a two storey 3 bed house and all of them are covered in dust Halloween Blush.

Putting the washing away.

I don't mind tidying up toys as that makes a big looking difference fairly quickly.

Ironing ...... AAAARRRGGHHHHH!!!!! ... just no!

Cleaning the bathrooms, ugh. Although I love when it's done!

Emptying the dishwasher.

Making the beds.

All housework basically.

Supermarket shopping. I want everything to appear magically.

I hate sorting through the laundry and putting it away. Unloading the dishwasher. Don't mind loading it though.

Amboseli · 12/11/2021 21:55

Putting clean bedsheets on the beds.

Cleaning the kitchen. Especially the sink. I would rather stick.my hand down the toilet with no glove on. No idea why i hate it so much.

WorriedMillie · 12/11/2021 21:57

Unloading the dishwasher
Ironing
Sorting clean washing
Changing the bed
Mowing the lawn

They bore me so much, it hurts (slightly dramatic)

Hoovering
Peeling potatoes
Washing up

Hoovering.
I listen to podcasts to make housework bearable but can't hear them when hoovering!

I hate hoovering - it just always feels like such hard work. Either you have to get the hoover out and put it away to do one room, or be constantly unplugging it and lugging it around to do more than one room.

I also despise gardening - we've got a shared front garden but I am the only fucker who ever weeds it - AND - noone ever thanks me. I am really, really looking forward to moving out one day and coming back in 6 months time to see how overgrown it is.
