Things you don't like doing.... But have to

macca28, 3 February, 2013 at 11:05 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 41

I'm out and about with work tomorrow and know I have no petrol in my car. I hate hate hate getting petrol. There is no reason why, I just don't like doing it. I've asked H if he fancies going for me and promised to wash up after dinner if he does.... I also hate doing this but it's better than getting petrol!!

So what essential things do you hate doing?

    Cleaning the bathroom. I get myself into a dreadful catch 22 where I don't do it, so its gets grotty and then I don't want to do it even more because of the state of it.

    Putting laundry away. Too many clothes, not enough space or clothes hangers!

    I hate getting petrol too! I also hate cleaning the bath, the shower screen won't open outwards so you have to get in the bath and get wet feet whilst cleaning, it's such a pain.

    our new house has one of those. Rage inducing. Why on earth would they be designed that way?!

    Going to have my eyebrows waxed, its not the having them done, its the getting am appointment part I don't like. The longer I leave it, the less I want to do it but more I need to.

    Emptying the rabbits litter box. Every other day in the winter - made worse by everyday in the summer! Makes me feel so good afterwards it being all clean again for them - but my god, its a horrible feeling looking at it and having to scoop it into a bag. No idea why though - its a 2 second job, and it doesnt even smell and they're so well behaved and only pee in it.

    OH wont and never has done it. Twas one of the conditions of me getting the rabbits that I do all cleaning out. He'll occassionally feed them when I'm ill or super duper lazy, but thats it.

    I hate getting petrol too. I don't know how I've got away with never running out - my needle often goes dangerously low because I always put off having to fill up for as long as possible.

    The other job I really hate is emptying the dishwasher. It winds me up that some things are completely dry when I take them out and others are not. Tupperware is the worst.

    Similarly to a lot of these I hate getting petrol for no rational reason. I hate food shopping then coming home and having to put it all away, also washing my hair as it's such a faff to blowdry then straighten!

    I hate housework in general. I hate that it takes up so much time and by the time I have finished it all it all needs doing again.

    Same with washing.

    I hate going to the hairdressers. It takes ages, and I hate the forced conversation. I also don't really like people messing with my hair. I put off going until it looks so bad that I have to make an appointment!

    Hahaha I read the thread title and immediately thought "definitely hate filling up with diesel". I just can't stand it. I wish there were a way of paying online and then the van was miraculously full again!

    My main ones are....

    - Putting out the bin

    - Putting Petrol in

    - Cleaning windows

    - Getting out of bed

    - Food shopping

    - Taking make up off

    - Ironing (and I really only do this when I have to- summer is annoying cause I have to iron my work shirts, get away with just using the straighteners in the winter cause I wear a jumper!)

    I am turning in to a slob!

    Also cooking dinner when I'm in on my own. I can't be bothered to make a meal for one but quite enjoy cooking when it's not just for me.

    Why all the hate for filling up the car? I quite like it! Except the amount it now costs...

    My biggest hate is getting out of bed so early every morning. And emptying the bins.

    Things I hate doing are:

    Having to make phone calls. I used to hate this so much when I was younger that I made my sister call my friends for me.

    Dealing with finances. Partly linked to the phone call thing but I am useless at cashing cheques and online banking.

    Marking - Work related task which I put off so much then hate myself for leaving it all to the last minute. When will I learn?

    I do like tidying, putting petrol in the car, drying my hair and all the other things people mentioned.

    Like many of you I don't like putting things away... food shopping, emptying dishwasher, putting away laundry.

    I don't like breastfeeding... which upsets me as I always thought I would enjoy it and it would be a lovely bonding experience. It's been the opposite, painful or at least rather uncomfortable. Changing nappies I don't really mind (even though he hates it and screams!) but I actively dislike breastfeeding my child and dread feeding time and that makes me sad.

    It's so much more convenient to just stick on a pair of tights ?
    That's the method i've adopted.

    Washing up,

    Cooking for one,

    Going to work,

    Washing, drying and straightening my hair,

    Gardening (This one doesn't strictly count as I hate it so much that I'd rather pay someone else to do it),

    Getting up early,

    Laundry,

    Speaking to people I don't know on the phone.

    Biggest one: Being a grown up.

    Um I didnt think I had too many things but reading everyone elses I agree with most!

    • lunch making - ugh
    • window cleaning
    • doing the dishes / putting away dishes
    • washing / putting away washing
    • gardening - I just dont do it. I should start though as our gardening is disgusting mess, we are the gypsies of our row. I genuinely dont know how to garden!
    • household bills / paperwork - I deal with paperwork all day long, I dont want to do it at home but OH is sh!te at it so Ive no choice.
