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?

I hate cleaning my teeth.....

Me too!

I hate making myself a cup of tea.

Hanging out wet laundry
Putting petrol in the car
Hoovering the stairs

@mistermagpie
Is that two teeth or two children?

Putting away dishes
Putting away clean washing
Putting duvet into duvet cover (got rid of duvets in favour of bedspreads, I hate that job so much
Dyeing my hair
Putting on trainers then lacing them up

Taking make up off - although I enjoy putting it on.

Opening tins that don't have a pull ring mechanism - it's 2019 for crying out loud!

Making a cup of tea. I just hate the time waiting for the bag to brew. I am so happy inside when a guest declines my offer!

Washing the baby's milk bottles and putting them into the steriliser

Brushing DS's teeth (he's 3)

Swopping the car seats from one car to the other. It's an isofix so takes 10 seconds but i hate it

Mine is actually a work one but in terms of hatred it even beats making a packed lunch.

Making tea and coffee.

I am a pub manager for a major pub co and in the last few years there has been a huge increase in coffee cunts and tea twats. People who go into a pub and smugly order tea and coffee, ask if we have any cakes and then look amazed when I say no. This is during the day, usually near naice local places that serve amazing homemade cakes. They take up a table for a couple of hours, spend about a fiver and then fuck off. JUST GO TO A COFFEE SHOP!!!!!!!!!

It gives me such rage that the act of making the hot drinks is a chore I would cheerfully rip my own arse out than actually perfom.

Sadly I suspect that the number of people asking for cake in pubs will eventually lead to many of us being told to start selling it

Putting away the washing.
Yet I know that's where everything falls down. If I did it, in its proper drawers, it would be so much easier to find what I'm looking for. Or knowing it's there or not- that's the crucial part.
Imagine opening a wardrobe looking for a childs blue jumper. If you know immediately whether it's there or not you can move on with life.
It's when you have to root and rustle all over the house like a truffling pig and have to leave the churned carnage behind you because you are rushing out the door- that's where systems fail. Dominos fall. Civilisations collapse

Gosh, true what they say. Writing stuff down does give clarity.

"Putting away the washing." yes there are a lot of jobs i don't like, I am realising that.

My life in one sentence.

Every. Single. Day. For. Every. Single. Thing.

Making sandwiches.
I often go without lunch or eat junk rather than make a sandwich

Cleaning teeth
Putting petrol in car
Making packed lunches
Making coffee or tea
Putting make up on
Oral sex

It’s the repetitiveness of it all isn’t it. One day you just wake up and realise you’re sick of doing it, whatever it is.

Having to wash out DD’s water bottle every night, faffing about with the internal straw and realising I will never be sure it’s properly clean. I wish I didn’t give two fucks so that I could just give her a new bottle of water every day and just throw away the empty bottle every night. Why does every eco-issue end up with me having more work to do?

Its horrendous, isn't it Pyongyang?
As I write it down its dawning on me that's the root of my problems

Cleaning teeth. 2 minutes is aaages (have an egg-timer thing on the mirror). Surprised no-one's invented a Roomba type thing for your mouth yet.

Washing my hair

Hate changing the bed, ours has been on at least four weeks

I refuse to hang up wet laundry indoors. Will do outside if it's a be-yoo-tee-full day only.

I'm lazy so I just hate all of them

Putting fuel in the car. Bought a diesel because I couldn't find what I wanted in a petrol and always gag at the smell.

Not a household job but driving to uni. It takes 45-55 mins and its just so bloody dull. Then having to wait ages for the various traffic lights... Least the horrible roadworks on the (Wear) Bridge have gone now. Love it once I'm there but getting there us a pita.

I despise emptying the dishwasher but am generally a bit zen about most other things.

DM OTOH has made it her life's work not to put fuel in her car. When she was still married to my father he did it because he was a man
When she remarried they only had the one car and DSDad was the main driver thank fuck

Now she's widowed she has a Fiat 500. I fill it up when we visit as she always "kindly" loans me her car for something, then presses her debit card into my hand with an airy "ooh, you might need to put some stuff in" (the word "stuff" derived from the fact that she doesn't actually know what fuel her car takes) Fortunately the car manages to last from one visit to the next, either that or she just walks everywhere until we come down

Putting the bedsheets on. Especially the fucking bottom sheet. Makes me unreasonably angry.

Sewing on Brownie badges. I have volunteered my services to show the Brownies how to sew. I’m really good at it, but find it tedious and boring.

Good thread.

I think the tasks I hate more, are the ones where it requires thinking and it matters if you get wrong, so putting laundry away - if I don't do it stuff just seems to disappear.

Doing an online shop - I'm the only one that knows what to get.

Actually so many things are boring and annoying in our lives aren't they.

Drying my hair
Putting food shop away
Putting away clean clothes

Hanging up the wet washing is a dreaded chore. I dread the washer finishing the cycle as then I know I have to get it on the airer or line.
The washing seems endless. The others in the house do most chores as well but washing seems to baffle them.
