  Wiping down the dust off the furniture.  After wiping, the dust is back on again... and I just end up spreading it around...even when I use a damp cloth.  I also don't like having to lift things off the furniture to dust and wipe.

I think Lil Me was looking into some office elves, Gophie.....perhaps she could give you a better lead.

    Window washing.

Oh, and Lil Me just reminded me about vacumn.  I don't like emptying mine out...so dusty.

Haven't found any office elves yet.

Are you looking in the right places?
Title: Re: What is your least favourite chore?
Post by: Lil Me on Oct 02 08 12:03
I guess not.
 Have you seen any?

No. Maybe you should write to Santa Claus and see if he's got one to spare.

I think I may have a solution to your office foibles Lil Me.  You need to get a gerbil.  They EAT paper.  As for the vacuum prob....I think dust bunnies eat that stuff.  

  (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/8.gif) ok.....now we have another waste problem.  [FONT color=#b9b9b9]*I'll keep working on it.[/FONT]

Oh yea, forgot about the ol toilet.....a definite yuk task.  

  Cleaning out the fridge is a bit of a nuisance too.

I think that I might be the only one here who doesn't mind cleaning the toilet.    (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Thinking/1.gif) I like cleaning the bathroom.

  What are some chores that you like doing?

  For me, my fav is laundry.

I like vacuuming and ironing.  I think I like vacuuming, because it seems to be one of those things that has big, instant results from very little effort.  I may like ironing for the same reason.....not sure.

I know what you mean about seeing instant results from vacumming.  I'm always amazed with how much dust/dirt it sucks up after a week.

  With laundry, I like watching the laundry swoosh in the washer...I lift it up just to watch sometimes... and I like the fresh smell after I hang it outside.

Toilet and ironing. The bane of my existence!

anything to do with bathroom cleaning.

I'll keep vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom because I'm repulsed by the consequences of letting these jobs slide...
 
 but the clean laundry will build up into large mountains before I summon the urge to fold it.
 Ditto filing, taking recycling on the bottle depot, emptying the dishwasher...

You know, I have never ironed. Any khakis etc, I let the dryer iron them. As for dress clothes, the dry cleaners dry them. But most days I am in a t-shirt and jeans so no ironing required for me. I wouldn't even know how to do it. I would most likely burn down my home!

Same here Van.  I haven't ironed for YEARS and don't plan to.  

  It doesn't bother me if my dress shirt is a tad bit wrinkly... I just wear a vest over it. :)

I know how to iron but Im far too lazy.

I instead do the dryer thing like Van.
