Mine is washing dishes.

If left to my own devices, I will let dishes collect for a week in my kitchen sink.

Fortunately, I have a dishwasher. And a wife, but she doesn’t enjoy doing dishes either, but at least it’s a shared misery.

    Laundry, specifically folding it. I have ADHD so my brain makes it out to be a much bigger task than it actually is. I hate it so so much.

      I dated a girl who tossed underwear, socks, athletic pants, “house shirts”, etc haphazardly into drawers. Reasoning was, doesnt matter if they wrinkle. She only hung up her shirts and whatnot. No folding.

      Total game changer. Laundry is now the easiest chore I do.

        I sort of do this, but it’s not super haphazard because otherwise the drawer doesn’t fit everything. So there is still folding involved. I should simplify my wardrobe…

    Does mowing count? I hate doing yardwork and I do it just often enough to not get a notice from the HOA.

    Scrubbing the stove, and I don’t avoid it at all. I do it promptly when asked and so thoroughly that it doesn’t need to be done again for a long time.

    Dishes would be the worst, though having a dishwasher it becomes emptying it. Still almost dishes.

    But leaving anything in the sink is just making your life more difficult and the dishes doubly so. Your sink will be useless because there’s things in it and washing anything means you have to dig out all the slimy dishes from the sink.

    Stinks and corridors and doorways need to be kept clear at all times, otherwise they become unusable.

    Most of the things I hate, I can automate.

    A dishwasher means I only have to wash knives now.

    A Roomba means I only have to vacuum the corners, stairs and under the table.

    Nobody really appreciates how much hand washing sucks, so I’ll mention washing machines too.

    Gardening sucks, but you can pick plants so that you really only have to do it once a year.

    My husband does dusting and windows, because he’s 40cm taller than me and I’d need a stool to do it. In return I do the mopping (with a steam mop, because the mop-bots all kinda suck)

    That just leaves hanging and folding laundry, which really isn’t so bad, and I don’t see a machine doing that (affordably) any time soon.

    Also hate dishes, have wife. It works out because I do the chores she can’t or hates, and vice versa.

    Before that, my solution was to turn dishes into dish. Use one plate, one fork, one cup for everything. Quick wipe for dry meals, wash when actually dirty.

    Plowing snownduring the winter.

    Here where I live we get tons of snow. Waking up extra early during winter only to go out and lift 100shovels of snow is the least tempting thing in the mornings. Does make foe a good workout session though 😅

    Raking leaves ranks up there. Rakes have to be one of the world’s most unreliable yet unquestioned inventions of all time.

    Yea doing dishes is the worst. Sometimes after being stuffed I just want to chill but I’m just making matters worse since it’s harder to clean if it dried already. I also have a dish washer but not everything can go inside, like pans and such. This means they are constantly dirty and in the sink until I need them again (basically) lol.

      Dishes and pans with dried on crud are the pits.

      I always try to soak everything before throwing them in the dishwasher, and even then it takes a pre-scrub to make sure they come out clean.

      Huh, whaddya mean? Pans go in the dishwasher just fine. Even nonstick stuff, these days.

      edit: Unless you mean cast iron or carbon steel can’t go in the dishwasher, yeah I get that!
