Mine is washing dishes.

If left to my own devices, I will let dishes collect for a week in my kitchen sink.

Fortunately, I have a dishwasher. And a wife, but she doesn’t enjoy doing dishes either, but at least it’s a shared misery.

    Raking leaves ranks up there. Rakes have to be one of the world’s most unreliable yet unquestioned inventions of all time.

      sympathies; we have to rake relatively quickly due to the large number of trees and the constant rain (PNW). If you leave it on the ground it’ll kill anything underneath, and if you leave it on the sidewalks or road it quickly becomes treacherously slippery slime piles. I look at it like: fuck, again, I just fucking raked, goddamnit, but if I don’t it’ll be even worse, fuck.

      Then don’t. Your local small mammals and insects will thank you.

      Please don’t rake leaves unless necessary, it’s harmful to wildlife and biodiversity. Or if you do use them as mulch for gardening.

        I wish it were this simple. Depending on where one lives here, different forms of yard work are legally encouraged.

          Hence the “unless necessary”.

          And I’m guessing this is the US. It’s quite a hilarious double standard that the land of the free forces you to keep your yard in a certain way lol.

            While I agree, for any outsider reading this, it’s less about government mandated yard work and more about the fact that we keep allowing HOAs to exist.
