For me, cleaning out and scrubbing the fridge/freezer. No question. I need to come up with a schedule. Even if I did a shelf a month, it'd save the 3 hour process of cleaning out the whole thing in one day.

Bonus, one that I don't mind at all slash kind of enjoy? Vacuuming. It's easy and your progress is easily seen so it feels gud

How big is your fridge freezer for it to take that long? Or even how much stuff do you have crammed into it?

For me, mopping the tiled floors, gotta sweep up, mop then let dry without standing on it. Next the fucking dog will just walk all over it anyway. Everything else is easy as far as chores go.

Cutting the grass.

Granted it's my only household chore.

 

[Kev Kev]

Folding laundry

I’m cool with the rest of the process up to that point, but I hate actually folding it. Straight up living out of the dryer some weeks

Idk it's average size, but we definitely don't do it often enough.

So between taking everything out, taking out all the shelves/drawers, sanitizing them and then putting everything back in it takes forever

I only mow the lawn. For the rest I got married. I hate mowing the lawn.

Dishes or Laundry

Dishes I get, but laundry is mostly automated.

Household chore you hate the most?

 

[Nobody_Important]

Washing my sheets.


Stripping my bed, washing my sheets, washing my comforter, waiting forever for it all to dry, and then slapping everything back onto my bed can fuck off.


It's not hard, but it is the most tedious. Especially trying to properly fit the sheet onto my 100 ton memory foam mattress on the corners against the wall.

 

[lachesis]

I think it has to be ironing for me.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Dishes. God damn dishes.

[Maiden Voyage]

Weeding. My old man back can’t take it.

 

[Dark Star]

cleaning kitchen tiles and grouts, mopping, etc. is not fun. My mom used to make me scrub the tiles when I was a kid, she wanted the kitchen spotless before guests come over.

 

[highrider]

Baseboards, any detailed cleaning or work on floors. I’m tall and old.

 

[haxan7]

I can never bring myself to clean the toilet or bath tub. It shows.

Much of this can eliminated by incorporating the traditional clothing of the humble Bedouin.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Cutting grass. It's usually hot outside and I have allergies

 

[Nobody_Important]

Dishes. God damn dishes.

Bro grab some headphones or slap a radio on the counter next to you.


Just zone out while you do it and it flies by.

 

[Atrus]

Ironing and folding the laundry. I’ve got it to a point where I’ll do it on a Sunday night while having Netflix play something. Anything.

Not only is it boring, it’s not something you can speed up.

 

[Outlier]

Cleaning the bathroom.... Ewwww.

Everything else I'm perfectly fine doing.

 

[Wunray]

In my house when we sweep the floor we have to then follow it up by mopping it, so basically that.

Sheets is where I draw the line, that stuff is getting washed, ironed and cleaned by a professional. I just grab it unpack, change the sheets and drop the old ones rotating the sets.

 

[BadBurger]

Dusting and/or vacuuming behind entertainment centers and desks. It seems unnatural how much dust collects back there in just even two weeks.

Cleaning the toilet is a close second. I mean you have to get close to it and stir it all up, even with bleach-enriched cleansers and gloves and a mask you're still very close to where turds and piss (and blood at times) gets drained into daily.

Edit: fridge never bothered me. I wipe it down each night after I clean the kitchen following dinner, so my fridge is never even approaching dirty.

 

[M.W.]

The fridge sucks. I get it OP.

[Blond]

Picking up after my spouse. I hate to say it but man, when they were out the country this year for two weeks the house was immaculate. But it’s like picking up after a family of 5! I don’t know how one person generates so much waste and uncleanliness but growing up we never had this much stuff around the house.

I have one of these shitty electric steam vacuums, there has to be a better way.

what are you talking about? There's no steam or electricity involved with swiffer products.

 

[Coolwhhip]

How are people still doing dishes in 2021? Are you amish?

 

[GeekyDad]

Cutting the grass.

Granted it's my only household chore.

Same...

And fuck that shit!

Well, I do empty the dishwasher and take out the trash, but I don't mind those.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I mean I have something else - a vacuum I plug into the outlet to have the steam come out via a water tank attached.

Nice. That sounds a bit.. ancient.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Nice. That sounds a bit.. ancient.

And incredibly bothersome, since I obviously cannot have the thing plugged into the same outlet for the whole house.

 

[INC]

When u have to repaint the house and have to sand everything, fuck sanding

I know its not a house hold chore as such

 

[Georges Chiellins]

Dishwashing. Hate it.
Thank God for dishwashers.

[OmegaSupreme]

Putting up laundry. I have no problem cleaning it but it ends up in my clean clothes hamper and piles up to a mountain before I can be asked to put it up. Is cooking a proper meal considered a chore? Fuck that too.

 

[AJUMP23]

I do all the cooking, and all the mowing, and I like those chores. I fold the laundry, and that doesn't bother me. I do not like pulling weeds, but I have my kids do that. I also spray some roundup all over the place. Moving has been a big chore that I haven't cared for. I need to put up and hang stuff that I haven't gotten to yet.

I just do my chores and get it over with....my wife asking for more help is annoying.

 

[kurisu_1974]

I often cook for me and the wife and I hated all the downtime it brings, so I put a Nest Hub Max on the counter next to the cooking plate and now I don't mind at all. Can watch some stupid regular TV on it or cast whatever else.

 

[12Goblins]

This has been a game changer for me:

my wife likes her Swiffer, but I find them incredibly wasteful and expensive.

I'm a fan of the bona line myself

washable cloth so you don't have to constantly buy the refills

personally I've found no chore too burdensome if you have a good setup going
