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

Sink soup. I hate that so much.

I hate the dishwasher, but hate washing up more. The dishwasher takes minutes but I spend so much time avoiding doing it. Just don't understand.

me too, and always give myself a shake and remember when I didn’t have a dishwasher

I will add, putting away laundry. Bore off!

Taking the bins out. I work less than DH so do most the housework, but that is absolutely his job. Close second is making my otherwise lovely super king size bed as the quilt is longer than my arms.
I don’t actually mind ironing too much. I stick a podcast on or watch tv while I’m doing it.

Cooking! Every bloody day.

I feel your pain. I cook because otherwise we'd starve but can not work up any enthusiasm. It's a chore.
Conversely, I love baking

Sorting laundry is a pain. I love cooking though.

One word: ironing.

I despise it. Sure, your clothes look and feel nicer when they are ironed, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Fortunately, my work clothes do not require ironing.

If I ever take to doing it, I'm doing it like my grandmother does... with the iron in one hand and a bottle of alcohol in the other 😂

Washing the walls/ceiling.

Iv never washed the walls and celing in my life apart from the odd little mark. I'd be worried the paint would come off
