There are a lot of people who put off unloading the dishwasher, myself included, yet I timed it once and it only takes about five minutes. I guess we all just dislike the idea of putting all those clean dishes away!

Sweeping/mopping.

I used to hate putting clean clothes away. But I discovered that if I stack similar items together in the clothes basket, I don't mind it as much. For example, all my socks together, all my underwear together, all towels for bathroom #1 together, all blue jeans, etc. And it's not much trouble to do that.

Sharpening pencils. I've got a very nice, functional pencil sharpener easily accessed at the head of the basement stairs -- so it's no hardship at all to do, I just don't like standing there, cranking the handle, etc.

I don't especially like to clean blinds. And mine need it now.

I'm not crazy about emptying the dishwasher so I just make myself do it first thing in the morning, then it's out of the way for the day. I don't mind loading it, and have no good reason not to want to unload.

DH has taken over folding clean laundry. Or most of it. I don't mind at all that he does it. He will clean mirrors too, that's helpful because I have to get a stool to reach the tops - he doesn't.

But I think the most tedious task I ever face is filing. I thought computers were supposed to cut down on our paperwork - I think the reduction is minimal. Every time I have files well organized, everything up to date, I tell myself I'll never let things stack up again. And, before I know it, I'm making little stacks which grow, ignoring them, until the job becomes a major project all over again.

Emptying the dishwasher

Dusting...never-ending.

Making a bed. I do it every single day but I hate it, every single day.

Hand washing dishes. Seriously. If the dishwasher breaks down I am out that evening or the next day buying a replacement. I have actually done just that.

I also hate to make appointments via phone calls.

Laundry especially folding and putting away. Wet Mop. I don't do it my cleaning lady does.

Checking and airing up my bicycle tires. It is not hard, just takes minutes, but for some reason I find it a chore.

Oh MorzB, instead of little piles, I have a file labeled "To Be Filed". When I can't stuff one more thing in it, I file. To me, at least everything is together if I need it.

so funny- as soon as I saw the title I thought how I USED to hate unloading the dishwasher....like Dawn!

but I decided many years ago to at least try to keep all the like flatware somewhat sorted ( you know, forks with forks). And then I timed my emptying and it was less than 5 minutes. More like 3 minutes. Now I still put it off but when I do it I get such a kick out of the fact that it's done so quickly.

What I really dread is going through papers for purging. I am reasonably ok with getting rid of clothes, but with an eye towards downsizing the papers and "things" are really a problem for me.

Ironing. And cleaning windows.

I'm fine with the dishwasher. I don't iron - don't buy clothing that needs it. I'd rather hang everything up just as soon as it dries.

Ironing, ugh. Hate it.

Mine is bizarre, I don't like filling my pill container. It's so ridiculous as I only take 3 meds but I put it off every single week which makes no sense as opening the three bottles is more time consuming.

Cleaning the BBQ grill. Yuck!

I don't like to give myself a manicure. No polish, it won't stay on. Just filing and shaping. I do it sometime when my husband is driving us around. It's better light and I can't get away. Lol I also hate to fill my pill container because unfortunately I have lots of pills to put in.

Also hate putting groceries away. I hate the shopping part, and then to come home

and do something with the stuff irritates me. LOL

Seniorgal, does your back hurt when you bend down to pick up the dishes? Mine does so everywhere else but at home (when visiting sister,) I also put the chore off. I was lucky enough to have a kitchen re-do and had them raise my dishwasher. I actually enjoy putting dishes away now. Putting dirty dishes in there and hand-washing the pots and pans is different story though!

Sweeping floors, but mostly cleaning the shower stall. :(

Putting clean sheets on the bed. But I sure do love crawling into that freshly made bed.

Vacuuming. So noisy!

Cleaning my bathroom is my most dreaded task. I'm ashamed to say how long I can put it off.

Oh I hate filling my pill container too. I have so many bottles and keeping up with what needs to be refilled. I believe right now I have 9 in the am slot and 9 in the pm slot but then I have the bedtime 4. And now I have all these antibiotics I have to take. My phone alarm has so many alarms set I will be so happy when that is done.

From the looks of this place....looks like I hate them all. I don't like mixing up formula for the baby animals....even though it is species specific and all I have to do is add water. I don't like washing feeding dishes...they need to be soaked first. I don't like late night or early morning tube feeding. I don't like cleaning out my truck. I don't like going to the post office.... or reading email or talking on the phone. I also don't like putting clean clothes away. I don't like unloading feed. Another thing I need to do, but won't.... is pot water-lilies. I have people wanting to buy them and can make several hundred dollars a month selling them....and could use the money....but after so many years of doing it....like 50....I am tired.

I agree with hating most everything everyone else hates...I keep putting off unloading the dishwasher, I like the idea here of putting the flatware in with others of the same sort......

These days with poor health, I hate EVERYTHING that makes me tired and out of breath and that's pretty much everything.

I used to detest balancing my check book and writing checks to pay bills. I would sometimes procrastinate so long that they were overdue - not due to lack of money but due to lack of WILL to do it!

When online bill pay came along, I was FREE! Yes, it took several hours to set up all the bills I pay each month, but it only needs to be one one time. Now, no more balancing (I can see quickly what has cleared and what is still outstanding and I also rarely write a check anymore), and I can pay my bills when I bring in and sort the mail. SO easy! One albatross lifted from these tired old shoulders!

cleaning up the kitchen sink so it empty!! always something in it!!

unloading & putting away BJ's shopping load

filing bills/statements - paperwork in general, UGH-so time consuming !!

think about what to cook for dinner every week. i like to have a weekly menu then i don't have to think about it every day. (5 days a week-don't cook on weekends)

Planning meals for the week. I tend to run out of ideas of what to make.

Cleaning blinds and windows isn't easy so you're allowed to not do them.

I'm like artemis, I don't buy things that require ironing. One day the wrinkled look will be trendy.

I don't like putting away good dishes that I have taken out for a dinner party. I like getting them out and using them but hate putting them away. On the dining room table are a set of good dessert plates that I used 6 weeks ago for book club. Some day they will be put away.

It's really best to mix up your flatware in the dishwasher basket. If you put like with like they can nest preventing them getting as clean as they should. I don't understand the problem emptying the flatware. My basket is removable and I carry it right to the drawer that holds the flatware.

I hate putting clean clothes away.

I used to have to move the clean clothes off the bed to sleep at night. Just couldn't stand dealing with the mountain of fabric that had to be dealt with one small item at a time. I'm doing one load a day when I do laundry and it's easier to get it put away now. I hated mowing the lawn as I was cutting off the pretty green. I hated dusting but vacuuming was okay. I hated sweeping so used the vacuum but sweeping works better. I hated weeding after a couple unkillable weeds came under the fence but I've got over it. I hated emptying the dishwasher but found I could get everything out in the time it takes to heat up breakfast or lunch. Cannot put everything away in 2 minutes but at least the dirty dishes could go into the dishwaher.

Now I seem to have a handle on most chores after the year long declutter the house, garage and gardens have been going through. Guessing I got in the habit of fussing with stuff so now that there's not much left to sort out I'm cleaning instead. I'm in better shape now and enjoying the ability to do things again.

Currently what I hate to do is change the water in the little fish tank. Not sure why, I have a really good system set up. Might be it takes just a bit too long to siphon and I'm terrified I'll walk away and come back to several gallons of water on the floor. The big tank's water is siphoned directly outside and the hose is securely hooked to the tank so it cannot go anywhere. I love changing water on that tank! I do hate cleaning the sponges in the big tank's sump though. I get covered in mulm and the sponges are heavy and hard to remove. Luckily it is sweet smelling stuff and doesn't stain. Did both jobs this morning and feeling quite virtuous!

putting gas in vehicle

When I had a dishwasher, I hated putting the clean dishes away because I didn't like how they felt, they were too squeaky clean. And I don't like the racket it makes when you're putting everything away, too noisy. That's probably why I don't like to vacuum, it's too noisy.

@ FlamingO, LOL, don't mind noise when I am vacuuming, really dislike listening to others vacuuming. Is that wierd?

Grocery shop, and putting away groceries. Hate it!

I hate to pay bills! I get them paid on time, but I always put it off as long as possible. And, I don't like most of the things y'all don't like, either.

Carrying laundry downstairs to Laundry room and back upstairs. A recurring fantasy is a laundry chute that reverses and gets stuff upstairs again. I'd be willing to tear down walls and reorganize the house to get rid of this annoyance. DH who would do the work says no. :(

Most other things don't bother me.

Yeonassky, I think your husband should carry it up and down for you if that is his opinion!

Vacuuming.

Reminds me of when I worked nights at the hospital.

The cleaning crew started vacuuming at 5:30AM.

The noise was irritating, all the patients were awakened, wanting attention while we were getting pre-op patients ready and our charting completed.

So glad I am retired.

I have no problem getting the clothes downstairs and into the washer, turning on the washer and into the dryer or hanging the stuff. I strongly dislike and do put off carrying the stuff back upstairs. I am with you yeonasky for a reverse chute. I don't know why I hate it so much but I do put it off quite a bit.

And yes to the putting away groceries.

Chi I didn't add that he does do this for me and often unasked. He isn't the bad guy here, just knows how much else there is to do. Like changing the kitchen and bathroom floors and putting in a downstairs bathroom shower. Also screening the porch and fixing the drywall in the kitchen etc.....it's a long list and he does it all.

He does any chore that is needed whenever he's home. :) Thank you for the support though. :)

Washing dishes, I am just one person but when I cook I use too many bowls and pots and pans. In the summer time I just use paper plates I buy at Costco, not the Chinette ones but the pretty ones and if i just have a sandwich I use it more than once.

It would be easier to list the chores that I like to do...NONE OF THEM! The older I get the more I hate the daily grind...I NEED SERVANTS!

Cleaning the tub & shower. But I wouldn't consider that easy either.

Nothing is easy any more, so just about anything!
