What chore do you like the most and dislike?

Post Reply New Topic

I love sweeping with a broom. No idea why. I also love almost anything that has to do with organizing. I despise doing dishes because for some reason it grosses me out like nothing else can. O_o

I hate washing dishes, wiping the table, cleaning up spilled (non-dry) food or other messes, cleaning the bathroom or kitchen, dealing with rubbish. All these activities make me gag and want to throw up (sight and smell). I can wash my own dishes and I do it instantly after I finished eating but other people's? Never.

I can vacuum and do "dry" chores except removing dead insects. I need to pluck up the courage to vacuum one up and when I do I imagine it being sucked up through under my hand. *shudder* I hate it. Without a vacuum cleaner it can take up to an hour for me to remove a dead fly. For some reason I suck at vacuuming though. I can't tell the difference at all between a vacuumed carpet and an un-vacuumed one, but vacuuming in general doesn't bother me. I'm hopeless at cooking but I enjoy cooking for myself.

favourite: cooking, as long as i can be creative and don't have to plan ahead

least favourite: everything else, especially... yard work (i would be content to be in a flat with no lawn for the rest of my adult life), and seasonal stuff like cleaning out cupboards or washing windows and such

What chores?

My favorite chore is cooking if it counts, if not, well then doing homework.
I dislike doing the dishes, because of the texture of random food on the dishes and because I am too meticulous, I can take way to long to do them when I rather do something else.

I love doing te laundry, but I hate cleaning the dishes.

Assembling furnitures from Ikea.

Not much of a daily chore, but it's the one I like the most.

I love doing yard work like weedwhacking and getting behind a mower cutting the grass. I also love planting veggies and trees and getting out on my backhoe loader removing stumps and clearing weeds with the backhoe part. Anything that is done outdoors I love to do. Wished I had a part time job that was outdoors.

I really don't mind doing anything in the house because none of my chores come across as boring like when I was in the workplace. Just got through with doing my laundry. I'm OK with doing the dishes as long as I wash them when I have a few, not a sink full. I very seldom let the sink get full of dishes because that is when I don't like it.

I didn't have any chores either when I was 16 either. Just homework when I got home from school.

I've have a washer and dryer for years. But, I use to have to drive to the laundry mat and do my laundry. I felt like my washer and dryer has paid for themselves at least 3 or 4 times just in savings by not going to the laundry mat which was getting quite expensive.

I like cooking, does that count as a chore? I cook lunch and dinner for six people every day, and I don't mind at all. I do hate being interrupted when I'm trying to cook several different things at once and really concentrating, though.

I hate washing dishes, like several of the people above - it's just disgusting. These days it is one of "my chores", though, and I'm developing a system I don't mind as much. Even worse would be any chores where I might need to use pencils, chalk, handle dry paper, styrofoam or cardboard, because touching, hearing, or even thinking about them makes me shiver and cringe. Also, checking the voicemail, if that counts - I dread that.

My absolute least favorite chore is mowing the lawn. I hate it so much. What's worse is that my yard has tons of mole hills, so I end up running them over and i get a face full of dirt. I also dislike vacuuming and sweeping (vacuums are annoyingly loud to me )

My favorite would have to be doing laundry and taking out the trash. I always like the feeling of taking out the trash. I've always liked the feeling of getting rid of stuff.

Another chore is that I always have to clean the shower. I hate getting bleach or Comet on my hands

I hate folding clothes and sweeping because I find it really hard probably due to poor fine motor skills. My favourite chores are probably organizing things such as putting away groceries, organizing books and DVD's and organizing my closet by type of garment and colour.

I hate cleaning up a really big mess. Clutter is overwhelming. But chores where I can focus on details, like scrubbing out the groove between the sink and the counter, are kinda zen.

You "suck" at vacuuming! I'd rather let the vacuum suck.

But seriously, I hate vacuuming because it seems like if I even touch a vacuum cleaner it either clogs or the belt breaks or it starts making a weird noise, or the bag is full or has a tear in it.
And if I try to remove a "dead" bug, it turns out it was just asleep. As soon as I touch it with the broom, it starts wiggling its legs. I know in my head it's probably just a reflex, but still...

For some reason, even though it's strenuous, I enjoy cutting the grass. I like the way cut grass smells and I feel like I've really done something when I've finished.

I'm not that good at cooking, although what I do cook tastes good. I can only cook one dish at a time or else I get distracted by too much going on. And if I leave the kitchen for more than 5 minutes while I'm cooking something, forget it. Because I've forgotten it and it will burn.

I am not much into chores.
Cooking (rarely) - Ambivalent. I like trying new stuff, trying to balance the taste. I hate too complicated meals or that takes too long. I have problems with time organization. And I hate cutting onions.
Doing the dishes - I hate too dirty dishes or dirty sponges. With too much fat on dishes I don't feel the difference between clean and dirty dishes, which I don't like.
Mowing grass - I don't mind that, I just don't like our lawn mower, it has small grass catcher. And it's electric and cables are a bit annoying (itseems not enough productive work for me, especially when only when small area needs to be done). And I also hates mowing overgrown grass.
Gardening - I like planting herbs. Generally I don't mind planting and seeding except tiny stuff like lettuce. Watering is ok too. But I hate weeding. Typical result of me weeding is half of weed remaining intact and patch all messy. (overdrawing a bit)
Cutting wood - ok
Feeding animals - ok (except aggressive rabbits)
Vacuum cleaning - ok, I don't like vacuum cleaning my room, but that's because i need to tidy it up first.
Tidying up - I don't like it. It feels good when it goes well, but I usually get stuck soon, getting lost in all those things. I sometimes have hard time deciding which things should i keep and which throw away.
