Little, common things you have to do that annoy you

[mvd]

Here's mine: I love the washing part of a shower. But drying off is always a chore. It's just an uncomfortable feeling in between getting out of the shower and getting dry.

[Skittles]

1. I dislike flossing

I do it but I feel it is tedious

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Setting the alarm.

:hi:

[mvd]

3. That reminded me of another thing

Setting the time after electrical outages. Outages aren't all that uncommon here. :hi:

[LaurenG]

21. I thought I'd repeat myself I guess. Sorry!

[LaurenG]

22. It's worse when you have to turn it off

It's so annoying!:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. True!!!

:hi:

[skygazer]

4. Folding laundry

I don't really mind washing it, or hanging it, or putting it away. But folding it is pretty tedious. :shrug:

[Flaxbee]

27. see, I like folding laundry, but I don't like putting it away...

that last step annoys me. I even kinda like ironing. The putting-away thing is probably because we're in a small house now and I have little room to put anything away 'properly'.

5. Taking the trash down

I don't mind doing the other work, but, I hate taking the trash down, and tomorrow is another trash day.

[Arugula Latte]

6. The dishwaser. Load. Wash. Empty. Load. Wash. Empty. Repeat.

Repeat ad infinitum, until the day I die ...

So futile, so futile ... The dirty dishes ... They keep coming ... *straight jacket applied to body*

[Bunny]

7. Cleaning up the yard after the dog. And the litter box after the cat.

And the hamster cage after the hamster.

Thank god my kids are old enough to clean up after themselves.

8. Washing dishes.

I fucking HATE them. I would rather run a dishwasher ten times in a row than to wash something by hand. :grr: I know why this is---my mother used to throw huge dinner parties frequently, and guess who got stuck washing every blasted dish, fork, knife, etc., by hand because we didn't have a dishwasher??? Yep, my sister and I did. Everyone else sat in the living room, laughing it up and having a good time while the galley slaves washed dishes. God forbid my brother ever helped. :eyes: My sister and I can't STAND dishes to this day.

I'd rather scrub toilets and showers all day long than to do dishes. :P

[InvisibleTouch]

11. You and me both.

I'm not much of a housekeeper at the best of times, but the thing I hate more than anything else are dishes.

Ironically, I've gotten myself into the habit of doing them every night, come hell or high water, to the point where it's become automatic and no longer so much of a struggle - because the more they start piling up, the more horrendous the job looks to me, and the more excuses I find to put it off. I used to go for days and just rinse off the one or two items I needed at that particular moment - or, I just wouldn't eat, since eating generates dishes. Now I've even started to do them twice a day, so I'm not put off by a huge pile at the end of the day. It seems to help a bit.

9. Going to work

AND cleaning the litter box. Don't mind FOLDING clothes, but I am terrible at putting them away...Cleaning the fridge out is my least favorite of all...

[Kajsa]

10. Picking up after messy men!

I've got two human males here, who are masters of disasters.
Sometimes, every room in this house looks like
a hand grenade went off in it.

Nagging does no good, the relief is very temporary.

Some days I just throw all their stuff on their beds
and let them sort it out.

The two male kitties are the neatest guys in this household.

;-)

[NewWaveChick1981]

18. I have a real beef with this too.

:grr: There are two people who live in my house---my husband and me. Our two dogs are better housekeepers than my husband ever was or is. He walks out of his clothing and just leaves it in a pile on the floor wherever he happens to step out of it. :mad: If he opens a box of cookies or something, he leaves the little cardboard tear strips all over the house in little shrapnel piles when trash cans are less than a foot away. He has boxes and boxes of doodads and scraps of stuff and wonders why he can never find anything. And if he's misplaced something, I'm supposed to be the one who knows where it is. :grr: Screw that...

I will be the first person to admit that I'm not the world's neatest person. I don't mind a LITTLE clutter here and there, but hubby's a slob of the first magnitude. :grr: I'm extremely clean, though, and his lack of attention to such things drives me up the wall.

[Kajsa]

20. I hear you, NewWaveChick1981.

And believe me, I feel your pain!
:hug:

Isn't it mind boggling how we are suppose to know
where in the hell they put their stuff
when they throw everything around, everywhere?!?

:grr:

[auntAgonist]

12. groceries... it's just not easy

get in the car
go to the store
decide what product to buy
put it in the cart.

Take it out of the cart at the cash register
pay for the groceries
put them back IN the cart and wheel them to your car.

Put them in the trunk.

drive home, take them OUT of the trunk, into the house, out of the bags, repackage if necessary, put them in the fridge, the cupboard, the pantry etc.

THEN you have to cook!!!


I hate grocery shopping, can you tell?

:hi:
aA

[haf216]

24. I don't mind the shopping part,

it's the unloading of the car and putting the grocery away that I hate.

[LSK]

13. go to work?

:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

14. Cleaning a thick layer of dust off of a tall armoire...

when the stepstool isn't *quite* high enough for me to reach all the way back.

You'll never guess what I'm doing this morning.

[anarch]

15. everything

[Mutley]

16. Dusting.

Dust makes me sneeze. :(

[YankeyMCC]

17. Mowing the lawn

Maybe that's not little enough.

Shaving is pretty annoying too, one reason I try and work from home on Fridays is that is one less day I have to shave.

[ceile]

19. cooking

I hate it!

[taterguy]

23. Breathe auto exhaust

My bike rides would be so much more pleasant if I wasn't constantly sucking up fumes from lazy people in their steel cages

[johnnie]

25. Shaving

And taking a shower. I like to be clean, but it is a pain in the ass to me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. I love standing in the shower...it's the getting out that is so tiresome.

:hi:

[johnnie]

31. Well, yeah.

I guess I would agree with that, but also getting in. You have to turn the water on, wait for it to get the right temp., then undress and a get in the tub to either get blasted with hot water or blasted with cold. Once the temperature and your body start to relate, then it is easy sailing until you turn the water off and step out into the cold. And start the whole drying off..blah blah blah crap.

[Broken_Hero]

29. Dishes

but...not all dishes...washing silverware irrates me, its annoys me. Also, hanging up my wifes clothes...that annoys me, not that hanging them up is annoying, but I never hang them up "her perfect right way." :)

[AtomicKitten]

30. work

[1gobluedem]

32. Changing the sheets

And I do it religously every Saturday. I don't mind making the bed; I do it every day. But changing the sheets is a chore I can do without.

[SOteric]

33. That would be mine, too.

I love the feel of fresh, clean sheets, and I change them often. I just never really enjoy wrestling the darned things onto the bed.

[halobeam]

38. Yep... the bedding. Have kids with allergies

so I'm washing zipper cases for their mattress and comforter and pillow on top of the sheets and blankets, three times a week. :crazy:

[Debi]

34. Paying bills

I could do without that any day!! x(

[Ariana Celeste]

35. Honestly?

Taking the dog out that one last time before bed. I make the old man do it.

[kwassa]

36. Working

It is so annoying.

[scarlet_owl]

37. Going to the mailroom.

I wish my mailbox was in front of my house. Instead it's four blocks away.

[buddhamama]

39. making the beds

i don't know why it annoys me. scratch that, yes i do. because i am only going to climb back into it at night and mess it up again.
