What's the one household chore you absolutely hate to do? Laundry? Dishes? Dusting? Mopping?

I really hate scrubbing floors. my house has all white tiles and its summer season here in the philippines and theres house construction up my street that i have rolled up my carpets because of the dust. Lets just say i sweep the floors at least three times a day and i mop everyday just to keep it clean. the second would be dusting since i do get a lot of dust also on my furnitures, i've even resorted to wrapping some furniture in plastic lol.

The bathroom..men can't aim! They need laser guidance! And what is worse, they are in denial and don't care.

OMG.. I'm having an issue right now with my son and his "cleaning" of the bathroom. What kills me is, it is HIM and HIS FRIENDS that make it the most disgusting. Is it really that hard to figure out how to hit that toilet?

I think dusting is probably the one I hate to do. While I don't really like doing the other ones, I like having clean clothes, clean dishes and clean floors! I don't like dusting because it really acts up my allergies even when I'm careful and use a damp cloth so I'm not stirring up dust.

Cleaning-dusting-mopping. I hate it, really, I do. Perhaps it would be better if I had a bigger flat. The rooms are small and there are so much furniture etc. in, I have to move them every time I'm cleaning up. It seems, I have to do this again tomorrow...

I have to confess, if I were rich I'd definitely have a full time maid. I'd still love to cook but she/he can clean up and keep the house in shape! LOL Housekeeping is one of my lesser thrills in life too.

I usually don't mind cleaning the house, it's relaxing to do it sometimes, when it's just me and I can blast the radio with good music to listen too. I dispise ironing though. I put it off until the last minute, and cleaning out the oven, I can't stand to do that. I don't like it when my work piles up or being left to clean up after everyone else. I just like to make things clean and neat and then keep them that way. But that is in my dream world :)

Honestly I am a clean freak so cleaning the house doesn't bother me at all. However, my least favorite job is cleaning the toilet. Uggghhhhh. It's just dirty and nasty and wrong! Ewwwwww. Dusting makes me sneeze, but I'd rather dust a million things then clean one toilet!

Definately it would be cleaning the refrigerator. I loathe it. You have to empty it out. Then empty out the dishes of the mystery contents. Then wash shelves and drawers. Then put all the food back. Then wash the dishes that held the mystery foods.

Doing the kitty litter. Having to clean that out nightly is a royal pain the butt, not to mention the knees and back. All the others I can usually handle but that one I'd rather not if I can help it.

You did not include ironing!!! What the hel* is a cool iron? Once you plug it in there is no way it is cool. I will never ever understand this.
