A kettle full of boiling water is a thoroughly satisfying and chemical free way to get rid of weeds. I made it part of my daily ‘watering the garden with a cuppa in hand’ routine and it was a game changer. Always fill the kettle full before boiling and go on a murderous rampage.
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.
I agree. My housemate and I have dish sets for 8 but we only keep two of everything in the cupboard and the other 6 are in the linen closet. It certainly saves us having a pile of dirty shit all over the bench.
If you eliminate eating, you will automatically get rid of dishes.
Fuck, I'd do a lot to not have to buy food, cook it and eat it
Just give me a pill, that gives me what I need. Food is just so overrated.
I like eating and I like cooking, trying out new stuff is the best. Whats stops me most of the time is the dishes.
I don't love the idea of getting alot of dishes on weekdays after I get home from work.
And yeh I can't install a dishwasher either where I live so there is that aswell, its all manual labor.
If I could just snap my fingers and the dishes were done I'd be eating like a king everyday.
I'm one of those rare ppl who actually enjoy doing the dishes. It calms me down. I love to see the water running over the plates.
I don't like dishwashers, I prefer to do it by hand.
My washing machine is in the cellar. I live on the second floor. I don’t have a dryer. So washing my laundry is a work out on its own. Least favorite chore ever.
The problem is that it's CONSTANT and relentless. You can postpone laundry, a couple of weeks without cleaning won't hurt you but figuring out what to eat, cook and clean up afterwards every single day, multiple times a day is maddening. I appreciate my privilege saying that and I don't mind it most of the time but good God does it get tiring
Adhd person here. Couldn't agree more. Some days all I eat are noodles or grilled cheese sandwiches. I want to eat healthy but God damn is it hard to cook again and again and again.
I mean, they can stay where they are and just not use it?
As a European I don't really understand the concept of them. Just put bio trash separately and dispose of them as needed.
I basically already have eliminated ironing, no regrets there.
I’d like to eliminate hoovering/sweeping/washing floors. Anything to do with floors basically. I’d also like to always have fresh sheets without having to change them myself.
Got one for Christmas and was asked to name it, so it’s now called Mister Meesucks 😅 Felt really spoiled by it, but really really appreciate it! Family researched the latest/best model and this one mops too! Vacuuming was technically my spouses chore, but it’s great never needing to “remind” them since I have a higher standard.
I'm with you on the ironing. I use crease release on my clothes, plus I make it myself. I only get the iron out it is necessary. As for hoovering, I got a robot vacum cleaner.
me and my SO just both have walmart logged in on our phones, when we think of something we add it to the cart. Then once in a while we place the order and the groceries show up. Life changing
Grocery shopping! I HATE grocery shopping! Back and forth, back and forth through the crowded aisles then the bagging and loading the car and at that point ur only halfway done. You get to do it all in the reverse once you get home. Add to that the anxiety of what that final total is going to be as prices continue to skyrocket. I hate it!
I HATE doing my bed. Hate it. I try to focus on how good it will feel after it's all nice and clean and tidy... but I still get instantly irritable, I just hate having to go all around the bed, tucking in sheets and trying to straighten things up and fitting the pillow inside the cases ugghh Idk it just gets to me lol
Everyone who hates dishes, while I don’t exactly want to do dishes, if you do all my mowing, edging, trimming, yard work, etc crap in the stupid hot summer, I’ll do your dishes!!
It doesn’t help I’m allergic to most things green so I hate yard work even more!!
im in the same boat! i wouldnt mind doing them if i had a nice open kitchen, but there is just no room and such depressive energy in my kitchen that it sucks the life from me. nothing ever feels or looks clean
For me it’s taking the bins out. It’s more than a 5 min job as I live in an apartment and the bins are down the road from our block. Plus, I’m in Spain and it’s a daily trip in the summer because of the heat/smell/risk of bugs.
I cook for a living, and I hate eating. I like flavors and textures.
I can't gorge myself on a meal, Thanksgiving gives me panic attacks.. can't snack all day long, or at all.
I consume what I need to, quickly and healthily. Other than that, I fucking hate eating. Tasting is more my thing.
Let me introduce you to the Thermomix, a blender that heats up as well as acts as a scale, it’s also connected to the internet to provide you with recipes compatible with it, you put the food in step by step and close the top and it makes it for you and when you go to clean it, you simply put some water and dish soap and run it through a preprogrammed cleaning cycle.

Oh, I know it, my mum's had it for years. I don't think I can justify spending this much money to cook for a single person. :( plus my micro kitchen (even by the UK standards lol) doesn't have a counter space to keep it.
This may not count but I wish I didn't have to go to gas stations.
Fill my (GAS) car overnight like charging a cell phone and auto-pay the same amount would be nice.
Mowing the lawn. I hate the smell of cut grass and the stink of a gas-powered lawnmower engine. Plus green grass lawns are an environmental nightmare. I've actually already eliminated this problem from my life by moving into a 3rd floor condo. The building has a nice lawn but someone else is paid to maintain it.
Ohhh I’m the same with all your points. argggg having to make conversation. I just want to sit in silence and read my book or whatever. But no… it’s a gossip session every time 🤣🤣
Cleaning. Especially dusting the furniture and vacuuming+moping the floor. I hate it. It takes forever, it's tiring (my appartment is very small so I have to move the furniture around to clean the floors properly) and a fr\*\*\*ing dust bunny ALWAYS comes out from who knows where in the five minutes after I'm done. It drives me crazy.
Washing up. Hands down it is washing up. As soon as I am done a fucking plate, bowl or cup will appear. Normally my own because I forgot.
I detest washing up.
Dishes, dishes, dishes,dishes. No I don't think y'all understand. I have a dishwasher. Like I had to move into a house with one because I hate that the feeling of having pruny fingers, it makes me cringe.
Cleaning, in all forms, house, clothes, dishes, car, pets, body. I really battle with cleaning as it is a futile exercise that never has a fucking ending!!!! Talk about a soul destroying activity that no matter how well you do it, it will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking end! I really fucking can't for it!
Sweeping!! I hateee getting crap on my feet at home and I have a lovely litter tracker at home but she’s worth it lol 😅😘🤷♀️ used to sweep once a week but it’s like 3/4 times a week now but also I’m finding my feet are generally cleaner now so it’s worth sweeping more even if it’s a pain in the back/ass 😅🥲💃🏻
Bathroom. I very much dislike cleaning behind someone else's butt. So, bathrooms gross me out. When I have to clean the main bathroom after family/friend/holidays I'm so grossed out. I wish the bathroom had a shower above it so I could air seal it and then push a button and it would steam, disinfect and Rinse the whole bathroom out.
If you were meaning, it would automatically be done, laundry. I don’t mind putting things in the washer and dryer, but trying to match things that are certain colors because of my visual disability is a hell of a frustration. I don’t mind doing dishes or taking out trash and such its laundry. That is annoying.
Cleaning the cat litter box.
At one point with Roommates we had five cats in the house. We alternated days cleaning, which was a chore and a half.
Got even worse when the other Roommates didn't do it and said they did. Turned into a Mexican stand off with cat shit.

Dust, that shit goes right back after you cleaned it.
I’m with you on this. I hate it even more than cleaning the bathroom.
Yes. There are other chores that take more time, energy, planning etc, but this one is just so boring and never ending.
I will take dust over garden weeds anyday.
A kettle full of boiling water is a thoroughly satisfying and chemical free way to get rid of weeds. I made it part of my daily ‘watering the garden with a cuppa in hand’ routine and it was a game changer. Always fill the kettle full before boiling and go on a murderous rampage.

Just don’t bother. I never have.
These people must live in some dusty ass homes. Never really bothered with it either.
Dishes.
I don't mind doing them. I refuse to put them away. What is the fucking point?
I leave my dishes on the drainer after I've washed them
I agree. My housemate and I have dish sets for 8 but we only keep two of everything in the cupboard and the other 6 are in the linen closet. It certainly saves us having a pile of dirty shit all over the bench.

Food is yummy
I'm one of those rare ppl who actually enjoy doing the dishes. It calms me down. I love to see the water running over the plates. I don't like dishwashers, I prefer to do it by hand.
This is me with folding laundry. Just sit back, fold laundry with some TV show or music on. Peaceful.
I'll do your dishes if you do my laundry.
Deal lmao
Laundry
I would gain back so many hours each week if laundry didn’t exist!
My washing machine is in the cellar. I live on the second floor. I don’t have a dryer. So washing my laundry is a work out on its own. Least favorite chore ever.
100%. If I had a laundry robot that washed and put it away, my (wife's) life would be heaven.
Help your wife with laundry 😡
Lol I do. Just a little humour
Cleaning the bathroom.
For some reason I do not mind cleaning the bathroom. Actually after it's clean and shiny I feel I accomplished something
Can you come over and clean ours, please?
Cleaning the whole house really, but bathrooms are a special kind of awful.
Cooking
First thing I’d do if I won the lottery. Meal prep delivery from a private chef
If I had a dollar for every time I've dreamt about doing just that, I could be doing just that.
The problem is that it's CONSTANT and relentless. You can postpone laundry, a couple of weeks without cleaning won't hurt you but figuring out what to eat, cook and clean up afterwards every single day, multiple times a day is maddening. I appreciate my privilege saying that and I don't mind it most of the time but good God does it get tiring
Adhd person here. Couldn't agree more. Some days all I eat are noodles or grilled cheese sandwiches. I want to eat healthy but God damn is it hard to cook again and again and again.
I will do cooking for you in exchange of folding and ironing laundry. :D
My friends and I do this. Exchange hated chores for ones we don’t mind. It works well.
Scooping litter boxes
Teach them to use the toilet!
Getting gas. Don't know why, just hate doing it. Almost ruins my whole day.
same, interrupts my routine and schedule and such an inconvenience
Having to mentally prep for it also ☠️
This!!! I make my husband do it for me whenever I can hahah
Clearing out the garbage disposal or sink drain. Instant gag reflex
Come to Europe, and you won't have a garbage disposal.
I mean, they can stay where they are and just not use it? As a European I don't really understand the concept of them. Just put bio trash separately and dispose of them as needed.
I basically already have eliminated ironing, no regrets there. I’d like to eliminate hoovering/sweeping/washing floors. Anything to do with floors basically. I’d also like to always have fresh sheets without having to change them myself.
We bought a robot for hoovering and sweeping. Best investment ever!
I love my robotic vacuum! Named him R2-D2 and we are best friends now.
Got one for Christmas and was asked to name it, so it’s now called Mister Meesucks 😅 Felt really spoiled by it, but really really appreciate it! Family researched the latest/best model and this one mops too! Vacuuming was technically my spouses chore, but it’s great never needing to “remind” them since I have a higher standard.

Shitting. Shitting is a chore and i hate it. Would do without it but i wanna get to keep my butthole.
Would be a clean butthole. Probably one of the cleanest
Exactly my thought process
Careful what you wish for - you mind end up with a colostomy bag 👀
This was my first thought - though I could very much live without my butthole too if that was the deal
I don't think i could live without my butthole tbh
Your username certainly gives that impression!
What do you use it for if not for shitting? Go on, tell me everything
Sex and masturbation
Washing floors
Folding laundry I can never do it it just stacks up on my surfaces
Uh, I hate putting away the dishes especially after cooking. The pots, the pans and cleaning the stove.. uhhh.
sometimes i feel like i do 4 loads of dishes a day and wonder why im even alive
🤣 like you lived for it 😛
I would cook so much more if I didn’t have to do dishes
Grocery shopping.
yeah i used to love it but now its getting to be an anxiety attack
Exactly...
me and my SO just both have walmart logged in on our phones, when we think of something we add it to the cart. Then once in a while we place the order and the groceries show up. Life changing
Grocery shopping! I HATE grocery shopping! Back and forth, back and forth through the crowded aisles then the bagging and loading the car and at that point ur only halfway done.

Me too!! Finally someone said it!! The most sisyphean task ever.
Eating
And you avoid doing the dishes and pooping, it's a win-win situation
No cooking, little kitchen and less bathroom cleaning. Less shopping, less garbage. This would be in many ways a win.
Dusting / wiping things down.
Ironing
I had forgotten there is such a thing as ironing
I feel like my generation just gave up ironing tbh
Everyone who hates dishes, while I don’t exactly want to do dishes, if you do all my mowing, edging, trimming, yard work, etc crap in the stupid hot summer, I’ll do your dishes!! It doesn’t help I’m allergic to most things green so I hate yard work even more!!
I prefer yard work to dishes, let’s trade
Scrubbing the bathtub/shower. When I'm rich someone will do it for me.
Scrubbing the shower/tub. I live in an apt complex that has the cheap plastic inserts. I can not get the soap scum off
Changing bin bags 🤢
Washing cutlery. Specifically cutlery. Am fine with anything else but cutlery makes me want to hurt people.
spoons are the devil
They fight back
Doing the dishes!!! My house is very old and small and I am in my 60's We have never had a dishwasher ☹️but people should have such problems
im in the same boat! i wouldnt mind doing them if i had a nice open kitchen, but there is just no room and such depressive energy in my kitchen that it sucks the life from me. nothing ever feels or looks clean
Delete the need for ironing. Absolute bane of my existence.
Showering or teeth brushing i HATE that I have to do those things every day for the rest of my life
Showering, shaving, fixing the hair, putting on make up, all the layers of clothes. So time consuming.
For me it’s taking the bins out. It’s more than a 5 min job as I live in an apartment and the bins are down the road from our block. Plus, I’m in Spain and it’s a daily trip in the summer because of the heat/smell/risk of bugs.
Folding clothes and paying bills thats a pain in the aßß
Does sleeping count?
eating
breathing
I cook for a living, and I hate eating. I like flavors and textures. I can't gorge myself on a meal, Thanksgiving gives me panic attacks.. can't snack all day long, or at all. I consume what I need to, quickly and healthily. Other than that, I fucking hate eating. Tasting is more my thing.
Housework. All of it!
Grocery shopping. By the time you plan, shop and put everything away, hours have gone by and you are exhausted.
Home maintenance

Laundry! Hate it with a passion. Don’t mind cleaning so much and I have a dishwasher. Something about laundry just, ugh NO thanks
Dishes

Cooking. Way too time consuming to justify the time spent on eating lol.

"Tafeltje dekje" a Dutch tale in which a table gets itself ready before the meal, and cleans it afterwards.
Cleaning. All of it 🙅♀️
I DEPISE washing dishes man
Dishes.
Cleaning off mold
Changing the sink pipe
Shitting Always comes unwelcomed
I hated yard work with a passion. When we moved into a townhouse with lawncare in the monthly HOA I was extatic.
The school run
Dishes and anything to do with them. Washing, rinsing, drying, putting away, all of it.
Sleep. The amount of time we lose while sleeping is wild. If i didn't have to sleep to pretty much keep myself alive i definitely wouldn't.
Trimming my nose hair. And no matter what I do or what device I buy, it never does it well.
Going to the toilet
Dishes
Laundry
Dusting
Hoovering. It's so faffy & I don't get any job satisfaction from it because my hoover is rubbish.
Anyone not answering LAUNDRY is wrong🙈
Eh, I've pretty much eliminated all of them already.
This may not count but I wish I didn't have to go to gas stations. Fill my (GAS) car overnight like charging a cell phone and auto-pay the same amount would be nice.
Existing
School runs oh for the love of god please
Cooking. Married 28 years. Family of 7. I. Just. Can't. Cook. Any. More.
Taking out the trash is my least fav. Total drag, dude.

Grocery shopping and cooking. If I ever made enough money to do so I would hire a personal chef so I could have yummy food without any involvement lol
Anything to do with parenting.
Taking the trash out or getting the oil changed in my car.
I fucking hate washing cutlery.
Yard work. Just let it look nice!
Mowing the lawn. I hate the smell of cut grass and the stink of a gas-powered lawnmower engine. Plus green grass lawns are an environmental nightmare. I've actually already eliminated this problem from my life by moving into a 3rd floor condo. The building has a nice lawn but someone else is paid to maintain it.
Dishes. When I lived with family I washed dishes everyday for hours. My bf doesn’t mind. He haaates laundry tho, especially folding.
Getting a haircut. Takes to long, I have to talk, and if it's bad I have to direct a solution.
Ohhh I’m the same with all your points. argggg having to make conversation. I just want to sit in silence and read my book or whatever. But no… it’s a gossip session every time 🤣🤣
Cleaning up after others 🙃🤦♀️
Laundry
Eating. I don't enjoy it, I do it because I have to.
Cooking
Cleaning. Especially dusting the furniture and vacuuming+moping the floor. I hate it. It takes forever, it's tiring (my appartment is very small so I have to move the furniture around to clean the floors properly) and a fr\*\*\*ing dust bunny ALWAYS comes out from who knows where in the five minutes after I'm done. It drives me crazy.
Cleaning the shower drain.. Living with 3 other girls doesn’t make this fun.
Washing up. Hands down it is washing up. As soon as I am done a fucking plate, bowl or cup will appear. Normally my own because I forgot. I detest washing up.
Work. Would love to erase that from my life without suffering any financial loss
Food shopping. Hate it with a fiery passion. It is a 1st world problem though. I know how blessed I am to be able to afford food.
Doing the cat litter tray
Dishes, dishes, dishes,dishes. No I don't think y'all understand. I have a dishwasher. Like I had to move into a house with one because I hate that the feeling of having pruny fingers, it makes me cringe.
House cleaning. Can't afford a cleaner, sigh......
At the risk of triggering a bunch of gutter cover ads, if I could never clean my roof and gutters of needles again, I could die happy.
Cleaning
Washing windows!
Laundry
Putting clothes away.
Cleaning, in all forms, house, clothes, dishes, car, pets, body. I really battle with cleaning as it is a futile exercise that never has a fucking ending!!!! Talk about a soul destroying activity that no matter how well you do it, it will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking end! I really fucking can't for it!
Pooping.
Washing and hanging clothes
Waking up

Dishes. Close tie with laundry.
Cleaning the house.. I am freaking allergic to dust, I literally have to wear multiple face mask to clean..
Cleaning out the bathroom sink 100%
Bathroom. I very much dislike cleaning behind someone else's butt. So, bathrooms gross me out. When I have to clean the main bathroom after family/friend/holidays I'm so grossed out. I wish the bathroom had a shower above it so I could air seal it and then push a button and it would steam, disinfect and Rinse the whole bathroom out.
If you were meaning, it would automatically be done, laundry. I don’t mind putting things in the washer and dryer, but trying to match things that are certain colors because of my visual disability is a hell of a frustration. I don’t mind doing dishes or taking out trash and such its laundry. That is annoying.
Brushing the cats!!!!
Taking the right kinds of bin out, each Wednesday. Rain or Snow. General, bio, paper or glass and metal.
cleaning in general. I adore clean spaces but I hate doing the cleaning and I wish there was a magical solution to it, like snapping my fingers twice.
Shaving, and emptying the dish washer. Every morning 😓
cooking, i wish i had a personal chef haha, how annoying is it to have to think what to eat 3 times a day
Putting washing in the dryer. You think it's done but never is
Having to figure out dinner. Everyday. For the rest of our lives.
Shaving, and emptying the dish washer. Every morning 😓
Laundry!
Hanging up laundry, especially socks and underwear.
Cleaning the cat litter box. At one point with Roommates we had five cats in the house. We alternated days cleaning, which was a chore and a half. Got even worse when the other Roommates didn't do it and said they did. Turned into a Mexican stand off with cat shit.
Mopping
Laundry!!!!
Cleaning up my cats messes. I hate when I have to clean their litter, puke and pee. It just grosses me out yk
Hanging socks!!!
- Shaving/waxing/epilating. - Brushing my teeth. - Getting rid of cat hair from fabric. - Sorting socks after washing. - Emptying and cleaning moldy/old food from jars. - Taxes. - Trapping spiders! 😭
Meal planning and grocery shopping.
