Definitely dishes. Even if I had a dishwasher- I cannot stand touching other people's food and utensils.

Laundry! My bf folds t-shirts rather haphazardly, so I've banned him from touching our t-shirts. Now I have to do it. I hate loads of whites, too.

Cleaning the bathroom! Ours is white and we have a black lab named Max that sheds about three pounds of hair in there every morning. Combine that with the stickiness of the hairspray that I disperse every morning, it looks like about three rats have died in there by the end of the week. I get down on my hands and knees with a sponge and mop the crapola up. Two minutes later it's dirty again.

But, dear bf and I have a great system of cleaning. After finding Max hair in the microwave or stepping on a piece of rice next to the bed, he says "this place is a mess, we need to clean. what day works best for you?" I grumble a bit, and try and change the subject but he usually gets me to pick a day. Then he vacuums and cleans the kitchen. My duties include both bathrooms (uck, the toilets!!!!) and starting the laundry. I'm so glad that bf is a clean-freak because I'm not.

I'm in the process of moving and have to paint my entire apartment back to it's original white. I painted it all very dark colors, so it takes 3 to 4 coats. So, it's safe to say that my new least favorite chore is painting things white.

Last night, my fiance was watching This Old House and these people had a toilet that only flushes if you put the lid down! I know a woman must have invented that one! LOL

Ooh I just cleaned yesterday and my least favorite chore is the bathroom too. I don't mind the toliet or the sink.. it's the solid glass doors on the shower with all the hard water spots that drive me nuts! I spent 2 hours trying to get those darn spots off and could not get them off.

Anyone have any good ideas? I've tried everything from CLR to vinegar.
