Worst chore at your house.

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

I am lazy bordering on comatose, so everything is a major inconvenience to me. We have a kitchen island that is sort of my downstairs craft table and I tend to stack stuff layer on top of layer until it is ready to fall down or I need to find some impossibly tiny thing (the key to my toolbox) and then my wife wants to have family over (buffet table) or bake a cake (bake a cake table) and the whole mess has to come down, leaving me to hunt in vain for the next six months looking for random things (heads, boots, screws, etc...)

Oh, and the upstairs trash (all the pee diapers land there) and it smells like a roadside urinal.

Leaves. We put out 100 bags last fall.

I maintain a pretty neat house, (sometimes my bedroom gets a bit cluttered, but never really bad), so and I take care of just me, (now), so it's not like I have to do major stuff. In fact this morning, I dustmopped the hall and vaccumed the living room/dining room inside of about 15 minutes. The dishes took like 5 minutes. Even the bathroom's not that bad, b/c I keep up w/ it every other day pretty much. I'd have to say I like mopping the kitchen floor the least. I have a pretty big kitchen, and it just hurts my back.

it used to be yard maintenance but now i found a gardener that'll do it for $25/ month!

I'll take the "regular" chores. It's the joyful, unexpected repairs that come with home ownership that I hate. Things like broken cabinets, plumbing, painting, etc.

I hate mowing the grass. Especially during this time of the year.

Cleaning up the dog poop from the back yard.

Yep.. Most times I don't mind this.., just clip on the iPod and go at it.., but up in Wisconsin, come the winter thaw.., trying to get the old stuff that's 'just' under the ice, most has just melted away into the pools of muck.. Yeeeccch!

Another chore is to fill the 'under-the-sink' hand soap dispenser ~ When we had our kitchen gutted and redone, the 'smart folks' put the plastic bottle under the sink, so when you have to refill it, you have to climb under the sink, yet also hold on to the top dispenser at the same time, to twist off the bottle. Typically I just prefer doing it myself than getting the wife to help (goes faster..), but it's still a hassle.

I am kind of ashamed to admit that I have always had girlfriends who didn't mind cleaning the toilet on my behalf.

[Orlock]

The one that is the most hassle of all is getting the kids to consistently clean up their own messes...lol...

I've always hated taking out the garbage.

I've always hated taking out the garbage.

Actually, the FUNNY thing about that in my life is.. I had a roommate in Mpls (from NY) who always pulled out the sliding trash basket, and waited for me to take it out. He was such a 'boof'.

'Course now my wife does something similar..: She'll take it out of the kitchen, open the outside door to the driveway, then place it outside, so I have to actually put it in the bins when I get home. Once in a while it's not bad, but it really grates on me when it's a couple of times a week. Oy.

It's basically the 'husband-doing-everything-the-wife-chooses-not-to-do' spiel.

Cleaning my whole collection. I do it once every 3 months, dragging each piece out, cleaning those glass shelves, crapping myself I might break something, I wouldnt allow anyone else to do it, but once its done, I walk around the appartment so proud of myself

Counting the piles of money in my attic.
It's a drag, really....

Oh, and burying the bodies in my back yard. That's hard work.
Did I say bodies?
Oops...

Making the kids (my son mainly) do homework.
