Now before we start let me level with you, I have never been one to stay on top of my household chores. A mountain of dirty dishes, crumb-covered floors, and piles of pants are all common fixtures of my home. My busy work schedule means I struggle to find the time to keep my place clean. Sounds like a poor excuse? Perhaps you are right. The truth may be that I just hate doing certain chores!
This got me wondering what most people considered to be their least favorite chores. After quizzing my friends and researching online I have compiled this list of what I deem to be America’s 5 least favorite chores.
Number 5 - Changing the bed sheets
After 27 years I am no closer to mastering the technique.
Number 4 - Cleaning the bathroom
Only in at number 4 due to the fact it is not something that needs to be done too frequently. However, I challenge anyone to find me a person on earth who enjoys scrubbing a toilet.
Number 3 - Laundry
Hanging out your laundry to dry must be one of the most tedious tasks imaginable. Just when you think you are nearly done you reach the pile of socks at the bottom which must be pegged individually.
Number 2 - Vacuuming/Mopping
Noisy, time-consuming, and laborious. Vacuuming your home is a thankless task. I think it might be time to invest in a robotic vacuum!
Number 1 - Washing the dishes
The dreaded dishes just had to take the top spot! After enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal I normally only have eyes for my sofa. Giving them a quick rinse and putting it off until the next day always seems like the answer.
So there we have it, my complete list of the 5 worst household chores. Let’s all hope robots will soon be here to take care of these tedious tasks for good! They have already got the vacuuming down but as far as I know, there is no toilet scrubbing cyborg!
