I hate dishes. I think it has to do with having to do them everyday as a kid. I'd much rather even clean the toilet. Second that I don't want to do is clean out and organize the shed.

vacuuming and dusting cause I get sneezy and itching.
also ironing- it seems like such a waste of time because it gets re-wrinkled so fast.

I don't like cleaning up after all the animals.Dogs,cats,chickens,rabbit,guinea pigs,toads,tadpoles. I would be content with 1 cat and my 8 chickens. I would rather do the dishes(which I hate) than clean cages and pick up poo.

Oh I also really dislike scrubbing clean the top of my stove.Always say I am going to keep it tidy,but before you know it there is baked on *stuff*.

I'm like Dragonlaurel! I don't vacuum and I don't iron! Of course we won't have carpet in the house we are moving into. Hmm. Wonder why! I do own an iron now--didn't for about 15 years. I use it when I am sewing--for opening seams, etc. At least DH knew these things about me when we married!

I don't own an iron. Never will. Unless getting one at a garage sale and buy it with the intention of being a weapon cause it will never be plugged in. :lol:


I needed an iron about 5 times in life and borrowed Moms. Like to iron down the edge of the new laminate on the countertop. That kind of thing.

:yuckyuck

I had an iron that I used all the time when I was into making miniature quilts, sewing, etc. Then a neighbor gave me an old one of hers. Years later when our son got out of the Navy, he added his iron to the collection.

I finally donated two to the thrift shop. I wonder if they're still there? :D

nah, they were snapped up. anyone loves a good deal on any appliances.

I hit a local consignment store. WOW the junk in there was scary plus on all their appliances they had 'as is, no return' on breadmakers etc.

some looked nice but for the price it was so much of a crapshoot not a chance I was willing to take. You know that store when you walk in and say, woof, I am not buying a thing but have to look at everything? That was this store. Got nothing.

Ha! I thought I was the only one who hates doing the dishes! And so many people like any chores related to firewood, just like me! :celebrate

I would rather clean the droppings board in the chicken coop than do the dishes. Laundry is the 2nd least favorite.
