Most hated domestic task

[ickky]

Just for fun or to have a moan. What do you hate the most.

Putting the laundry away is hateful. I’ve never washed a ceiling though.

Here you go. Clearly a joke, no?

That was another poster taking the mickey, the post about washing ceilings was definitely real

It is cleaning the oven for me!

Yes this started it.

Very first post of the thread.....

Hoovering then changing bedsheets.

I hate cleaning my Venetian blinds so I don’t do it very often.
Love ironing though.

Cleaning out the cage of an elderly capybara

Just kidding 😃

I hate all of it!

But if I had to choose … it’s the fridge

I read some decluttering expect advice to time yourself emptying the dishwasher- she said it takes minutes not half an hour, which to me I think it does. Helped me see it as less of a chore….. still leave it for DH to do most the time though 🤣

Bedsheets are joint first. This my my most hated. I don't mind stripping it, washing it or hanging it out and bringing it in. It's the putting it back on that really gets on my tits, especially the bastard buttons on the quilt. Why did they ever change it from poppers?

Cleaning the windows! Mine are so easy to clean but I hate it.

Taking congealed dirty plates, mugs and cutlery out of a luke-warm bowl of scummy, greasy water with bits floating in it that someone else has dumped the washing-up in, so that I can empty the bowl and wash up properly.

<we don't have a dishwasher or room for one>

Ironing. I refuse to iron anything. My DH irons his own clothes.

A few hated tasks - cleaning windows, cleaning the shower, moving the bed to vacuum under it (heavy divan bed), defrosting the freezer.

I occasionally wipe walls if there's a mark, but I've never washed a ceiling. In fact, I've never heard of anyone washing their ceilings!

I'm grateful for my dishwasher, steam generator iron and 'self cleaning' oven. They all make life easier.

It’s a very large kitchen with loads of furniture and rugs and stuff.

First, move all the stools and chairs and pet food bowls and laundry baskets etc.
Then brush or hoover.
Roll up the rugs and stack them on the couch.
Then mop, with involves a fair bit of scrubbing because I don’t do it often enough and also we and the pets are in and out the back door to the garden constantly so it is always mucky.
Then put all the stools and chairs and rugs back.

Rarely takes less than 45 minutes. And it’s such a hassle.

Vacuuming and grocery shopping.

They are working on it, apparently!

Washing frying pans and washing out the bin (indoor small bin or big bin!). Also cleaning the bathroom or mopping floors! (We have one of those awful scraggly mops!)

Wow.. never heard of washing walls and ceilings.

I hate the bathroom for obvious reasons!

Cleaning the insides of the windows (the window cleaner does outside). They still look terrible when the sun shines!

I stick a fluffy sock on my hand and wipe!!

Putting the green waste into the wormy composting thing and getting a face full of flies every time.

I also hate putting away laundry.

Emptying the dishwasher. I hate it with a passion.

I used to dread the weekly meal plan and then along came Chat Gpt 🥳

I absolutely refuse to have anything to do with the bins. Bins are dh responsibility in all ways shape and form. He's so good he's became our streets binfluincer 🤣

We never iron, dh makes the beds and we share the dishwasher.

Oh the Joy's of adult life
