Normal Things You Hate Doing.

Folding the laundry

I don't mind that at all.......in fact I even, half way, fold the clothes I throw into the clothes basket.
I figure it's easier to keep them wrinkle free that way.
I have never been one to just throw my clothes into a pile.

Yes but commercial produce is treated with pesticide and from the farm to the supermarket, who knows what it's been dragged through.

Not to mention all the dirty hands pawing through the produce at the store...

I think I recall a doctor talking about the need to supplement vitamin B12 on a vegan diet. I think he mentioned in theory be done by eating unwashed vegetables. Although he hastened to suggest it would be better to wash the vegetables, and just take a vitamin B12 supplement.

I also hate folding laundry. With a lot of stuff, I just take the big pile out of the dryer, and shove into wherever it goes. Not efficient use of space, but at least it cuts one thing out of my life I hate doing.

I also like doing this with hand towels just to minimize handling of them. I have slightly germaphobic moments with hand towels, since I use them to dry my hands after washing them just before I eat or (in the last year) touch my face. So the less I handle towels, the happier I am. Even though, logically, I wash my hands thoroughly, and I will use those towels to dry my hands later on...

^ I wash my hands constantly, even before covid, which means my hand towels get very damp, so I usually have two going at once.

I hate washing dishes, always have and always will! Though it was my main chore as a child, I also don't like to dust the bottoms of the furniture now that I am a tall adult. Little people in your life can come in handy once in a while!!

Going to the toilet especially for a shit, though how i could possibly pay someone to do that for me i have no idea.

I take it you've not tried colonic irrigation.

Raking leaves. After awhile they get stuck in the tines, and you have to keep pulling them out. I have a large yard with oak trees so it takes forever.

Getting up to pee in the middle of the night. The trip to the bathroom is long and fraught with peril.

I agree with painting such a bitch! I was painting my bedroom a few years back and everything just kept going wrong from the type of primer I needed because of the caulk I had to use to the store giving me 3 gallons of the same color when I wanted 2 gallons of the color for the walla and one for the trim I ended up doing white on the trim and it looked better than what I was going to do! Folding clothes is a COLOSSAL PAIN IN THE ASS! ai fold socks underwear pajama pants sheets (yes even fitted!) towels and pillow cases and blankets all fine I SUCK AT FOLDING SHIRTS I just can't do it freehand I had to finally break down and buy a flip fold off of amazon I love the thing 1 2 3 done! Everything put away and neat in a drawer. That being said I still loathe doing it!

I wash as I go so it doesnt (as often) stack up

I guess painting would actually be higher on my dislike category than making-up the bed.

But folding laundry doesn't bother me...AT ALL. I do get constant "reward/reinforcement" from it, as I see my empty hangers repopulate...and I may be facing the dread of making the bed with new sheets then or later on. THAT isn't really an aspect of folding the laundry, because as soon as putting them in their places, I'm very rewarded at beholding how they REVERT from being laundry, back to being clothes!!! Do they become clothes again as soon as they're folded, or do they have to be in their place first?

And when do clothes become laundry in the first place?

If I did that, my hands would be PAINFULLY CRACKING *EVERYWHERE*. I tried that for only a week in middle-March last year and I ended up with fissures and some blood, and it wasn't even "deep winter" when the humidity deficit is even worse. (I tried a humidifier about 30 years ago, but it actually started wrecking the house by frost/ice building up by the very smallest entrances of outside air, so I had to stop. And induced humidity is NEVER as effective as "natural" humidity in keeping my hands intact, and I didn't accomplish much.)

My skin produces a pretty major DEFICIT of natural oils, even if I eat fatty food...but eating my vegetables helps SOME.

RationalLunacy, a JUB member back in the 00s, really HATED that annual job!!!

A pee-trip doesn't disrupt me and I'll fall right back to sleep. I treat it as something where I'll **BE CAREFUL** and yet try my best not to wake up more than 70%. I've been able to adapt this to any night I'm having insomnia. I'll go and pee, and treat it as something I don't want to be totally alert for. Often I'll then go to bed and I'll go to sleep!

I "borrowed" my dad's leaf blower a few years ago. Suffice it to say that we both know that he's never getting it back!

I hate cleaning to bathroom shower/tub. kind of my own fault as I tend to procrastinate and cleaning that part of my apartment

 

[Rickrock]

I dislike whipping off everything I buy with a sterilization wipe before I put it away.

 

[Rickrock]

^ It was supposed to be wiping.

I hear you-- that's one of the worst chores out there! I wish someone would invent a clean bomb. You just throw it in the bathroom, and BAM! Everything-- the bathtub, the shower tiles, the toilet, the lavatory, the mirror-- are all sparkling clean and spotless.
