Awful domestic household chore poll..... [View all]

Which is the regular, pain-in-the-ass household chore that you dread doing the most? (and why, if you wish to go there)....

I just got done vacuuming - for me, it is the task most likely to produce a string of expletives as the cord gets caught, plug comes out of the wall, hose gets twisted, items get vacuumed up that should get vacuumed up...you get the idea.

My wife and I are both retired, and we've always shared all the tasks....so I could answer this will full experience of doing them all!
