Jobs that you hate doing that only take a few minutes

[SalemShadow]

I can't stand cleaning the cats litter tray of making sodding pack lunches even though they only take a few minutes to do. What jobs do you hate doing?

[Leflic]

I agree with putting things away. The futility of it. You know you’ll be seeing the same pair of pants/mug/pair of shoes in a few days.

I like filling up with petrol through. Knowing my petrol station near work is 10p cheaper than the Esso next door to the house is quietly pleasing.And it’s great it’s got a really good shop attached.

I hate turning the lamps off before bed , one switch is behind a chair and it’s a faff trying to reach it .

[WalkAwaySugarbear]

Emptying the dishwasher
Hanging wet clothes up to dry
Putting the weekly shop away

[blueshoes]

Removing make up and foundation
Flossing
Cutting toe nails
Cleaning plugholes in sinks
Cleaning the extractor grill in the cooker hood
De-scaling the kettle
Filing mail

Washing the car. (Can't face the social interaction to get it washed for me so I just suck it up...and wash it about twice a year when it gets so dirty even I'm embarrassed!)

Showering - it's a pain in the ass and I hate being damp afterwards.

Brushing hair/styling hair - so I shaved it all off to a few mm long so I don't have to do anything on a day to day basis.

Shaving hair on a sunday morning...needs to be done but I dread it. The pay off in lack of effort during the week is worth it though.

Brushing my teeth - so boring. I have to count in my head to make sure I do it for long enough and don't just give up.

Hanging out wet washing.

Putting food shopping away is another of mine. I don't mind shopping it, even with toddlers in tow, but god I hate putting it away.

[wanderings]

Disposing of the wasteful, bulky packaging which is always a by-product of internet shopping.

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

Don't mind filling the tank but doing the tyres is my pet hate .
Twizzling off and not losing the caps .
Trying to remember the number
Wrestling the pipe thingie round my car
Listening out for the 'beep'
My hands getting filthy and it's a bugger to scrub out from my nails .
The queue building up behind me ..................



And socks .
I like everything inside out except socks . But do they listen?
Pairing up a load of black socks
I put them in a net bag/per person when they're dry then they're easier to hang in pairs .

[1Morewineplease]

Filling/emptying dishwasher

Cleaning skirting boards

Cleaning toilets

[Wizzbangpop]

Hoovering - it's the flex and awkwardness of it

Changing the bed sheets - such a faff, and it always takes ages. And it never goes smoothly.

I used to quick cleaning the guinea pigs RIP. It was just easier to do the whole shebang

[Candle1000]

HeronLanyon I filed all paperwork away a while ago and promised I would file stuff as soon as I’ve opened /dealt with it in future .

I failed - it’s all piled up again . The folder is in a cupboard literally 2 paces away but I can never be arsed to get it out .

[Starlight456]

Hoovering the stairs . I can happily do the rest of the house .

Picking my ds’s socks up as he dumps them anywhere.

[wanderings]

Going to the toilet. Yes, really. Sometimes it comes as an annoying interruption, especially if it’s “I have to go RIGHT NOW” and I’m in the middle of something.

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I brush my teeth in the shower and sing the theme tune from The Muppets in my head

[soupforbrains]

Erg. So many things. I am a terrible chore do-er.

Filing paperwork, hate.
Cleaning the cat litter tray, hate.
Hanging the washing to dry, hate.
Folding/putting away the washing, hate.

I’m basically a lazy slattern. 😂

[OhTheRoses]

70Is Halfords, fiver, job done and you get a coffee from theor machine. Never do it myself nowadays. Such nice lads.

[NeckPainChairSearch]

Opening a new bottle of milk and having to peel off the plastic seal and put it in the bin

This. And draining balls of mozzarella from the drippy little bags.

[MissClareRemembers]

Combing my hair after washing it. It gets so tangly and I know that if I don’t comb it quickly enough my stupid fringe looks even stupider.

I hate doing it so much that on non-hair wash days I leap out of bed in a jaunty fashion revelling in the knowledge I won’t be wrestling with my stupid hair that morning.

[notso]

Yes to packed lunches and putting the laundry away, both such blah jobs.

Adding,
wiping down the hob,
putting the recycling out,
emptying the teapot

[Allthebubbles]

Pretty much any house worky job only takes a few minutes individually and once I've done it I wonder why I procrastinated for so long and judged myself for not doing it. That's what I hate!

[Notnownotneverever]

Sewing anything at all.
Changing the bin bag/taking out the rubbish.
Wiping over the hob after cooking. Consequently I have to scrub the hob clean every month which is a disgusting and long job. Completely avoidable if I just wiped the hob every day.

[worriedmumtoteen]

Emptying the fucking stair basket.
Putting petroleum in the car

[Tunnocks34]

Cutting raw chicken. Urghhh just gross

[tobee]

I quite like pairing socks. Quite therapeutic!

But most of the other things already mentioned. Sewing on buttons. Because I'm so bad at it.

[babycatcher411]

Folding the reusable nappies.

I don’t mind washing them, sorting them, hanging them to dry, christ I’m not even phased by scraping the crap down the toilet, but I just can’t stand stuffing the inners into them to put them away.
