ventaThe other evening I was sorting out some washing. Oh yes, I know how to live. Thus I ended up doing two of my least favourite domestic tasks.
I don't, in general, enjoy housework. But I appreciate that the floor won't vacuum itself, the rubbish won't walk itself out on the correct day and even - despite much hoping on my part - the flat surfaces won't dust themselves. I have to intervene. Perennially unpopular tasks like scrubbing the toilet are, while not my idea of fun, something I don't mind taking them on. Cleaning the cooker tends to get neglected, but sooner or later one of us will get round to it.
My pet hates are pairing socks, and putting duvets into duvet covers. Sadly, these are coupled with an equal hatred of wearing odd socks, and a fondness for kipping under a king-size duvet. Yes, I know there are various strategies to avoid having to pair socks like clipping them together in the wash (which doesn't work) and buying all-identical socks (which I will do, just as soon as I wear out all the varieties I own). I'm not after helpful ideas, I just want a nice healthy whinge.
If I am ever in the position to afford a small fraction of a cleaner, I'd like them to match my socks into duos and change my bed for me.
Which particular minor household tasks do you hate irrationally ?

Date: 2007-10-04 01:22 pm (UTC)I have never in my life cleaned a toilet. I just can't. I can't think of it. I can't understand how anyone could do it. I wouldn't mind if I could do it with some kind of disposable widget that you just dropped down the toilet afterwards, but the idea of taking the brush out into my nice (psychologically) clean bathroom is unbearable to me. On the few occasions that my mother visits she sometimes does it for me, and I cope with that by simply not acknowledging that it's happening.
I'm mental, you know.
