Dishes, Dishes, Dishes. But that's not what I hate the most, it's what I hate to clean the most.

Floors :p What a pain in the ass to clean. Tho I'm sure bathrooms are way more atrocious than floors...

In general though, I hate homework more than anything else in the world. :mad:

Easy......I hate sorting and folding the whites!!! I try not to be to picky, but I just can't help myself. The socks have to match to a tee....the exact coloring, you know how some can get a little dingey looking or some have a little more stretch, I cant mix em, this simple process will take me an hour. :shrug:

I don't mind doing dishes too much. It's soothing at times....Just me and the dishes. :laugh: And I can take my anger out of them too, if they're really dirty. :p Plus, I get paid to do it a lot. :laugh:

I HATE to mop. I'll clean the toilet, dust, sweep, etc. But I loathe mopping. Maybe it's 'cuz you SHOULD move everything off the floor before you mop it, and that in itself is a huge pain in my ass.

So that's what I hate to clean the most....

But right now, what I hate the most is....finding out that I have to work tomorrow when I thought I was going to be off! :mad:

Please pass me some cheese to go with my wine....

:nod: Oh yeah, I'm like that too. And my hubbie, bless his heart, is WONDERFUL about throwing clothes into the washing machine and then into the dryer. But that's where his help usually stops. And it seems that he's washing clothes EVERY DAY lately, so you can imagine what my laundry room floor looks like right now...piles of clean white socks....crap. :rolleyes:

Barf. Dishes are so dirty and gross. And your hands get all wet. (well, I wear gloves, but still) and your left arm gets all tired from holding the stuff while you scrub it with your right hand...*bleah!* Although, it's probably not so many people's least favorite, because they have dishwashers. I don't have one.
I really like doing laundry, though... :)

I have a dishwasher.... But I've never used it, stupid I know... I actually prefer to wash by hand and I don't dislike washing dishes really..

I do however hate laundry, now more than ever as I'm looking at a good 7 washerloads of clothes I need to wash tonight.... :(

I friggin HATE washing clothes and then putting them away. Most of the time, I'll just leave them in there for like 2, sometimes 3 days. My dad says "Hey, are you gonna do a two day wash?" :lol: We hardly eat at home, so washing dishes is rare too. LOL Cleaning the bathroom is okay, especially since I turn the radio on and jam out.

When I finally have one again, I will never ever complain about having to do laundry!

Cleaning is soothing to me. When I get REALLY mad, I start cleaning and sometimes I won't even realize it!

But I do hate folding laundry. I have to be in the mood. When I am tired or after work, I just leave clothes in the dryer. One by one I take what I need out and it's just terrible!!

I hate everything else and avoid it if I can. I'm thinking about that Pringles can that stayed under my bed for an entire semester about a year ago. :lol: :cool: I hate cleaning the bathroom, too, but it has to be done at some point.

Making beds! I have always hated that. Don't mind dishes too much. Not wild about laundry, either. Vacuuming's not a problem-has to be done everyday because of the cats so it doesn't get ahead of me. Now today I cleaned the refrigerator-that's not a pleasant job either..

on the laundry theme..I hate ironing! We also live out of a laundry basket and only when it gets too big to shove under the table (it's only a small one, not a big dining one!) do I make a point of getting out the iron and doing a spot of work..yes, thats a pet peeve, other cleaning dosn't bother me much, altho I'm not too fussed on doing the oven either.

Me too cuz it's constant..."it's nevahending"...

Bathroom grout. eeewwwww.

One chore I secretly kind of like doing is laundry. I have no idea why either.

I hate it when tall people stand in front of me at rock shows. I always get a 7 footer right smack in front of me. HATE IT!!!

totally. But I submit, my apartment is too small, and has too little closet/shelf space (I only have one closet!) for me to possibly keep it in order. I call it..."the shifting mess"...and don't even get me started about all the stupid paper that's everywhere. Could I get more mail? could I have more receipts? GOSH!!!

I really hate housework. Period. My dream is to have a housekeeper.

In the real world, I hate cleaning the bathroom, especially the tub/shower. My most favourite appliance everrrrr is my dishwasher!! Looooooove my dishwasher.

And I hate the little jobs that are so important - cleaning the baseboards, or the bathroom grout, etc.

I'm always shocked when people regularly dust things. I'm like "oh yeah, dusting" :rolleyes: Not to say I don't ever dust, but....As my mom always said...housework is boring. cleaning is anal.... :lol: :lol: (not the best role model, there....) I've many times noticed that people clean things in situations that I would never think about. Or maybe think about once in awhile. But they are totally into it! I always feel bad...like I should've known that, or thought about how important it is to clean that way... :lol:

Oh god, I have never heard of Little Nelly Neat! Pure evil. Ahh, your mom had a psycho mom too, I knew we had some common thread going on. :laugh: My grandmother ironed everything too (well not underwear but sheets and such). She dusted, vacumed every day. There was never a thing left out anywhere, no clutter at all. She was barely human. The sad thing is now that she's had her stroke she would rather eat junk than dirty her kitchen making herself some food because it is hard for her to clean up like she knows she "should". Very sad. :distress:

My grandmother was a cleanfreak (no hair, no dust, no cobwebs.) My mother was a terrible housekeeper (I think she went on strike to piss my dad off before I was born & never cleaned again.) I ended up somewhere in the middle. Not obsessive, but I like things relatively neat.

I hate cleaning the stove. I'm a messy cook, so there's always food and/or grease on it. I try to do a quick wipe after I cook each time but it just doesn't happen.

You know what causes a lot of the dust build-up in your home? TVs. The screen works as a magnet for dust. If you wash your screen with lemon oil, it will *greatly* reduce the dust build up in your house. :nod:
