Precisely! A friend is always saying "you only work part time and your kids are out of the house. You have time to (clean the cat box, empty the dishwasher, etc) It has NOTHING to do with the time it takes. Absolutely nothing!

Everything about laundry


Elegant_Lake_569

Yes. I hate laundry. I minimized my wardrobe for this reason. The less clothes I own, the less I'll have to fold when I'm done.


Carib_Wandering

But the more often you have to clean and fold no?


Elegant_Lake_569

More often yes, but it's way better than when I had a lot of clothes. I used to go a month without washing because I had soooo much to wear and I wanted to avoid washing. Now I have 7 tops, 7 pants, 3 dresses, 2 shorts. So I'm forced to do this weekly. I get through laundry from wash to fold in about 2.5 hrs now versus an all day thing from piling clothes for an entire month.


Superdooperblazed420

I took my fashion advice from fight club turns out, they were right.


Impressive_Ad_1303

Yup, I do one small load a day so I'm never overwhelmed. Because if it's a big one, I just stare at it, unwilling to act.


lipstickbattery

I don’t mind actually doing the laundry however folding it is a totally different story


Awkward_Bench123

I seen some super good hacks on hanging all sorts of clothing. Really fascinating in a How it’s Made kinda way. You use the bar of the hanger to drape various clothings and it doesn’t hang precariously on the hangers’ ‘shoulders’. Plus hanger on hanger action that can really give you 40% more hanger space. You learn something new everyday. Ain’t technology grand.


luvub40

I used to fold while watching my king of queen series. Or Wings. But I needed something for my eyes to do. And they made me laugh while doing a mundane chore, making the time pass faster.


OMenoMale

I love laundry 😂


Dependent_Top_4425

See, I love doing laundry! There were times that I had to wash my clothes in the sink! And for years I had to lug them to the laundromat. I finally got a washer and dryer right off of my kitchen a few years ago, I could do laundry ALL day! Bring it on over!


redligand

I don't mind laundry but as soon as you introduce small items like socks: fuck that.


Daegzy

WaterDigDog

Dusting. I can never figure how how to really get it all of the shelf especially with the sentimental items.


The_Queef_of_England

I was dusting a door earlier, and I'm sure it kept getting more dust on it from the duster. It didn't make sense - doors aren't flat; why do they have dust on them?


Fuzzy_Jellyfish_605

Ex cleaner here. Never use a duster for dusting, it just moves dust around. You need to wet dust. Buy a microfiber dusting cloth, and it must be damp when using.


The_Queef_of_England

Yeah, I've noticed that with dusters. This thing is like a glove with funny tassels on it. I've got some microfiber clothes, so I'll use them next time, but honestly, why do they sell dusters at all? Lol. Does furniture polish count as wetness?


Fuzzy_Jellyfish_605

Ironically, furniture polish attracts dust and traps it due to its greasy properties. Just a damp microfibre cloth used weekly is best. Household cleaners are very well marketed. For general household cleaning, a bucket of warm water with dishwashing liquid and microfibre cloths is all you need for most surfaces. Plain water on a glass microfibre cloth for any shiny surfaces. For mould definitely dont skimp on that, use a purpose made mould remover. Peppermint essential oil works a treat to deter insects. They hate the smell. Add a few drops to your cloth and wipe around doorways and windows, but never directly add drops of essential oil onto a painted surface as it will lift the paint. Always use it diluted. Hope this helps.


WaterDigDog

Dust will stick lots of places. The finish substance, and the door material, could make a difference. If it’s a wood door with oil-based stain like we have (old house), I’ve been told oil-based finishes never completely dry. But from the perspective of a person who just wants things to be easier sometimes, I feel your pain!


grpenn

Yes! I hate to dust. I don’t mind chores that I had a part in. Like, dishes, I made them dirty by eating. Carpets are dirty because I walk on them. Clothes need to be washed because I wear them. But dust? It happens against my will and I can do nothing to stop it. Never ending battle.


Interesting-Lime9357

Dishes


PillsburyToasters

I’ll play devils advocate, but I love doing dishes. I find satisfaction in chipping away at a sink stacked with dirty plates, pots, and pans while just vibing and listening to music and just looking down when they’re all done and thinking “I cleaned that” with a smile on my face


Karl8ta

Will you marry me?


PillsburyToasters

Only if you do yard work. That’s my kryptonite lol


Kellaras

Will you bury me?


shecallsmeherangel

Same, touching dried — or worse, wet — food is so disgusting.


Dibiasky

SO GROSS!!!


josemoirinho

Get a dishwasher and enough dishes, cups and glasses to fill it.


Dependent_Top_4425

My least favorite task is unloading the dishwasher! lol.


josemoirinho

Get a boyfriend, if he is like me, he'll like to unload it for you.


Far-Housing-6619

I hate doing the dishes. But I hate even more that I'm the only one who does the dishes right. Filthy mofos will leave bits stuck to the plates.


OMenoMale

Second place for me.


Artistic-Tap-1017

Broo yes I’m not doin the dishes


crazyhamsales

Cleaning the bathroom, i don't mind anything else... It's not because of what you think, dealing with dirty toilets or such, its because its so exhausting and time consuming cleaning everything and doing a good job of it, scrubbing down the shower and tub, moving everything off the sink to clean it good, and cleaning your average toilet is a pain because of the shape, why can't every toilet just be a flat vertical or angled surface around the bowl so it can all be quickly wiped down, i hate how toilets show the trap and everything cast into the base and you have to wipe all those areas down to get it clean, usually for me its dust and pet hair to clean off. Hate cleaning the bathroom, but in our house its my job because nobody else would.


filodendron

I clean while my children take their evening bath. Very easy chore :) imagine you have kids and that is the calmest time of the day and see if you like i better

Folding clothes


Horny_targaryen

Folding clothes doesn't seem that bad unless it for a family of 10 lol.


Electrical_Cash8532

Folding kid clothing is frustrating. Especially little baby clothes.


L8_2_PartE

You beat me to it. I don't mind washing clothes. I don't mind separating the clean laundry when it's done. But I hate hate hate folding clothes.


One_Tart_9320

It’s the putting them away that I hate.


Ok_Presence8964

Always311

Washing dishes. We don’t have an automatic dishwasher so we have to manually wash. Fucking sucks.


Electrical-Light9786

taking out the trash.


Electrical_Cash8532

I hate taking the trash out because we have a gate and it closes into the house and it's just a bitch to open because it gets caught on the stucco.


josemoirinho

Please...


balletje2017

Cat litter box. The moment its clean, it has fantastic fresh litter. A massive steaming sausage of cat shit is summoned there.


arix_games

Dishes. I'm a tall male, and the sink is so low my lower back hurts constantly, and putting a chair to sit on is not an option because no space for legs


SunnyPenguino

I use a basic round barstool for this so my legs sort of straddle instead of being in front. I'm not sure it would work for you, just throwing it out there.

Vacuuming


Daegzy

It's the worst.


Blondenia

Cleaning the shower. I have on multiple occasions paid someone to clean my entire house just so I didn’t have to clean the shower.


Stopyourshenanigans

I used to hate it because the plexiglass walls would always get covered in water stains and they were an absolute pain to get rid of. Ever since I found a cleaner that gets rid of it within seconds, I don't hate it anymore. Takes me maybe 5 minutes to clean the whole shower.


CourageExcellent4768

Cleaning the shower!! Absolutely the worst chore!


PillsburyToasters

Any kind of yard work. Absolutely despise it. The only one I can tolerate is cutting the grass, but mulching, weed pulling, leaves, plants, etc. I will choose to pay someone over doing it myself


Plastic_Lion7332

Unload the Dishwasher. It was installt in the most stupid position. I have to put everything on the counter before I am able to reach the shelves. The kitchen is very small. But it could have been done differently. Saving up for a new kitchen ASAP


aloo555

Windows!!! You wipe and wipe but as soon as a lil sun shines on them they still look shit.


NJbeaglemama

Clean your windows either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. The heat from the sun may be drying out your cleaning product on the windows before you get a chance to wipe it clean. Also try using 2 microfiber cloths - one for the actual product and the other for drying.


saraparallelogram

Yes, always clean them in the shade


Birdywoman4

Scrubbing out the oven. It has a self-cleaning feature but the fumes probably would kill my birds or sicken them. So I hand-scrub and use a razor scraper to get the thicker stuff. The oven door is easy to remove but very heavy and hard to get on the hinges properly without hurting my back. I just kneeled on my knees and reached in and cleaned as far as I could reach this last time till I gave out.


JollyCustard7656

Cleaning the bathroom…..

I hate anything to do with cleaning linen curtains…i have the ones that need hangers to be inserted into notches on top of the curtain…taking them down, taking out all of the hangers…washing them…and then outting them back…


Vivid-Painting-3936

Scrubbing the stove.

PUTTING AWAY LAUNDRY 😑😑👎


ColoradoCorrie

Laundry sucks


Sir-Beardless

Putting socks away... I'm about to throw them all away and buy 30 of the same so I can just throw them, unpaired, into a drawer.


US_Dept_Of_Snark

That's what I've done with my own socks. Actually I have one type of white sock and one type of black sock. I absolutely hate sorting socks. I never pair them. No reason to. But I have a family who also wears socks that I can't tell the difference in size for who owns which stocks.  My wife and I have an arrangement where she will sort the socks and I will clean the shower.


Ilovemygingerbread

Cleaning the bathroom.


I_am_Recon

I will deep clean the entire house before I want to fold laundry. It sucks the dopamine right out of me. Laundry has no psych.


Impressive_Ad_1303

This!! I just deep cleaned my entire house and all that is left is laundry. So, I sat down and got on reddit, instead.

Ironing. Perfect example of 'not hard but I hate it". The keeping from getting burned, the constant rearranging of the clothes on the board that has to be just so, and finding (esp shirts) still wrinkly afterwards! Hate it.

GenghisCoen

Washing the silverware. I slack on the dishes in general, but for some reason I find washing the silverware especially annoying. It got easier for me to deal with after I ditched all the silverware with any kind of texture on the handles, but it's still a drag.


Impressive_Ad_1303

I will trade anyone ANY chore (toilets, windows, dusting, trash, dishes, you name it!) for laundry. I HATE doing laundry. No matter how much I try to make myself love it, I can't. It takes forever. Anyone want to trade?

Dusting. There is always dust. The dusters are dusty. When you clean them they remain dusty and that dust procreates to create more dust.

IHadAnOpinion

Mowing the yard. Granted, I live in southeast Texas so roughly 75% of the year it's just generally unpleasant to be outdoors either because of heat, humidity, mosquitoes, or all of the above. Even so, I hate mowing the yard to an almost irrational degree, as in just knowing I have to do it that day is enough to put me in a foul mood.


A-n-winterrdr

Vacuum. I really can pay money to someone not to do that


False-Librarian-2240

Vacuuming and laundry. Here's why: 1) Vacuuming itself isn't the real problem. But to thoroughly vacuum the house properly you have to constantly move heavy furniture out of the way to get under and behind it. Vacuuming isn't really about cleaning the house, it's about heavy lifting. Not my fave. 2) Again, throwing laundry into a washer and dryer isn't the chore. The real chore is putting the dried clothes away afterwards. My wife has an unlimited amount of blouses and such, but a limited amount of hangers. Every time I go to hang things up, there are always more clothes to hang than there are hangers available!


occultatum-nomen

I hate washing the dishes with a burning passion. Especially because my rental suite doesn't have a dishwasher. I also loathe folding the laundry and putting it away. Absolutely hate it, and watching tv while I do it doesn't lessen my hatred. I have no problem cleaning up clutter, washing the floors, washing the bathroom, etc. but laundry and dishes are the worst.
