What is something you do weekly (or regularly) that you hate doing?

Tommy-G · 11-14-2022, 10:26 AM

I dont know why its a big deal but my wife vacumns the entire house every Saturday (at least) but leave the master bedroom for me to vacumn and I dread it.
Same with changing the sheets. I sleep so much better on clean sheets but I HATE changing them.

Laundry.

2000cs · 11-14-2022, 10:34 AM

Ironing, but I quit that after retiring.
Mowing and edging, because it aggravates allergies.

But I generally like life and find pleasure in tasks well done.

Alfisti · 11-14-2022, 10:44 AM

Weekends in general at this time of year. When baseball is on it's great as i get out of the house with the kids and help coach etc but this time of year is just mired in the mrs trying to find something for us to do and it always blows, kids get restless, wife is confused/can't plan ahead/flustered etc so i wander about the house directionless for two days until it is all done.

Washing, drying & polishing the G31….it just takes so long to do it

wtwo3 · 11-14-2022, 11:27 AM

Work

Thankfully nothing - gotta find the purpose or meaning in the mundane in order to live a fulfilled life. Somehow I'm pretty good at making most everything feel like fun or play.

There are several things I do regularly that I dislike (cleaning out cat boxes for 7 cats, for instance), but only ONE thing I hate, and that's driving in traffic. Thankfully I only work 3 days a week for my side chick job, and only 20 days a year for my main job, so I have to deal with it less than the average person, but I still HATE it with a passion.

If I could gift one thing to the world to make a positive change it'd be to make it exponentially harder to get a license. It'd take so many cars off the road, and everything would be better because of it.

I'm with the guys that don't like laundry or changing the bed sheets. Laundry is 3 times a week for me.

PS - and agree the bed is so much nicer to sleep in with clean sheets.

Can't think of anything other than making lunch for the next day.

dreamingat30fps · 11-14-2022, 01:02 PM

I hate making the bed, luckily I probably don't do it every week. Whenever I see the sheets are off the bed I hide, usually my gf will do it, sometimes she spots me though and I have to help.

Other than that not that many things I hate weekly. I hate taking out the garbage when it's overly stuffed. I hate taking the dogs for a walk, usually they just go in the back yard, but when it's raining a lot or my gf just decides they should go for a "real" walk. One of them is a total savage and we have to pray we don't run into anyone else because he goes full tasmanian devil. The other one wont do that but she pulls like crazy. She's super nice thought and in NC I will bring her with me to the yard (not fenced in) off leash and no problem. The other one is a bad influence though.

S55_M3 · 11-14-2022, 01:24 PM

my wife....

UncleWede · 11-14-2022, 02:03 PM

First Saturday of the month: the chicken coop.

These days first I try to cover exposed skin on arms/legs with lime before I head in there. I've started wearing a mask and goggles too. I always find some chicken-fleas sucking on my life blood by the end of the chore, sometimes a bunch of them. Which means I need a nice steak to refresh the blood supply for dinner. . .

Anybody who has 7 cats gets my vote of approval. And I'm also with you on that hate for bad drivers.

XutvJet · 11-14-2022, 03:23 PM

Figuring out dinner for the family. My wife and I know how to cook tons of things, but it's hard to get motivated to cook many nights because the day was already draining.

Samurai of 2day · 11-17-2022, 11:56 PM

Shaving.
My career field requires me to shave almost every day and not only is it an expensive chore that causes me to have to clean sinks to avoid clogging, but has taken a toll on my skin over the past couple decades.
