Question:
Ugh... I have to go make my hated weekly trip to the landfill. Those of you who live in areas where you can just put your rubbish bins on the curb should count yourselves lucky. I live in rural Alaska and we've got no trash collectors so I try to go once a week to prevent the rubbish from taking over.
It's so disgusting. You have to load your trash bins into the back of the truck, then drive to the landfill... there are tons of bald eagles and ravens and seagulls EVERYWHERE, all screaming and dive-bombing you and picking at trash...I'm always afraid they'll attack me or poo on me. YUCK!!
Plus there's garbage juice that flows freely at the landfill, and you have to be careful to roll up your trouser cuffs or else they'll get contaminated with rubbish goo. Then you have to get back in your truck and flee the landfill as quickly as you can. I think that the folks who work at the landfill should all get raises and medals for doing such important (yet smelly) work.
UGH... the landfill closes in one hour so I have to get going soon. Yuck. Most disgusting chore EVER. I wish I had a husband so that he could go take the rubbish instead of me.
So what are your most hated chores? I normally like doing laundry but my stupid cheap landlord has a COIN OPERATED laundry instead of having W/D in the units. It costs $1.75 to wash and $1.75 to dry! I wish I had my own washer/dryer so that I could do laundry whenever I like. Can you tell I'm in a whiny mood?
I guess I should be grateful that it's only me and my cats...if I had a family then the rubbish would pile up exponentially and I'd have a much worse time with rubbish management.

Answer:
Eep. I don't think you sound whiney @ all. Going to the landfill sounds positively NASTY!!!!!!!!!!
Me, I hate cleaning the bathroom. I have virtually no counterspace whatsoever in my tiny bathroom. So all my toiletries are basically balancing on the edge of the sink, and on the back of the toilet. I tried to find some of those "corner shelves" but I couldn't find any. I ended up getting a shower rack & nailing it to the wall, lol. But still, once every couple weeks I take everything off the sink and the back of the toilet, & scrub. My cats will also knock down my bottles off the sink, and I won't notice it until next cleaning time, when I sweep & mop the floor. Such a pain. And I can't believe how much gunk accumulates between my bottles!!! Where the heck does that crap come from???
Oh! Another chore that irks me...shredding up my junk mail. I really should invest in another shredder. This one takes like 3 pages @ a time, and I get SO MUCH junk mail that just accumulates...ugh.

Answer:
Blech, Linnea!!! That does sound like one heck of a nasty chore!!

As for me, my most hated chores include laundry and emptying the dishwasher. The reason being that with 2 small children and a husband, these things are never done for longer than a few hours at a time.

Answer:
This is a tough question, so many could tie for number one. I will give the blue ribbon of dread to scrubbing the gas stove grates. Yellow plastic gloves, steel wool....just Arrgh.

Answer:
When I lived alone I LOVED to do my laundry...now, not so much! The Mr. always leaves stuff in his pockets Last week it was gum. Now the inside of the dryer is covered in melted, sticky, fuzz-covered gum. I would buy a new dryer but it would cut into the perfume budget. That's a big HELL NO!
Why didn't I cherish the single life? Oh dear God WHY?

Answer:
I think cleaning out the fridge is my most dreaded chore ... it's always an adventure!

I recall seeing a segment on one or other of the Newsmagazine type shows back 15-20 years ago on TV. Seems this guy in the NorthEast put himself on every catalog mailing list he could and as the poor USPS mail carrier delivered them in winter, he used them to fuel his Franklin stove for heat. He claimed to have saved over $90/month in heating costs, and this was early 1990s dollars...So, maybe junk mail could be a blessing, if it were delivered in sufficient quantity?

Answer:
I hate laundry. I would normally love laundry, but it is a f***ing nightmare now. I don't have a washer and dryer, and that was okay until DH2B started working every available hour of the week and can no longer give me a lift. Now I have to carry the huge bin of laundry down to the laundromat, where I must line up for a washer and dryer. There is nobody working at this laundromat so I have to scour the neighbourhood for a depanneur (corner store) who will give me change. Thank God my dep on the corner is usually really good about it if he has enough. On top of this, the laundromat is very crowded with one table about the size of a postage stamp to fold clothes on. The floor is never swept or mopped and I am a klutz so I usually end up dropping something between the washer and the dryer and then it gets all dirty. I dropped one of DH2B's shirts today, but was so annoyed with the whole experience that I just popped in the dryer anyway. When he notices that he has a nice gray stain on the arm of his favourite blue teeshirt I will just feign innocence.

Answer:
With 5 inside cats it has to be changing the litter boxes. Ugh..

Answer:
Cleaning the fishtanks for me, one fresh, one salty...
Oh, and staining the deck... But we usually wait until Summer and make a party of it!
