Worst Chores Ever (and animals too!)

[dwkjohn]

Today, i had to rake the bottom of our 1 acre lake for big concrete blocks. I spent about 5 hours on it and only found 12 of 17. Not fun. I lost my crocs 5 times in the almost knee-deep mud. And got bit by a snapping turtle.

Share your worst chores. They can get pretty bad.

Eh, most of my chores involve trivial things like laundry and dishes. Some of my best chores involve garden work, playground cleanup, eaves troughs, and launching pigeon eggs from a high altitude.

Some of these will not have to be done when I move out, unless I move into similar settings. For example, an apartment building removes the garden work, but not the egg launching.

Eh, chores are pretty trivial. There's always the laundry and dishes o do, along with cooking but they aren't that bad. As for the worst chore I've ever done... I think that would be weeding the yard. This involves ripping out dandelions from their roots throughout a wide expanse of land. Dull, but strangely satisfying at the same time.

Chores?  This is stuff I'd do regardless.  Take out my trash, clean the dishes I dirty, wash my laundry.  A chore to me would be something unexpected happening like the roof sprung a leak and I'd have to go seal it up.  Granted I've never had to do this but it's an example.  Mowing lawn?  I don't consider it a chore since I put on my music and just do the job.

[Salanewt]

What I might do if I do live in a place with a lawn is to replace it with moss. Not very good to walk on because it dies easily, but I would not have to cut it.

Interesting chore: Weeding a jungle.

Sorry, but if i grow up and have to rake bricks out of a lake, then my life just sucks. Other regular chores i don't care about. I don't really see the big deal about dandelions and weeds. From a beekeeper's perspective, I say plant more weeds. I like 'em. I agree with Kain, just listen to music.

[Charon]

I don't hate doing chores as I get around to them on my own schedule (especially if its my own things) but if I'm told to do them... AAAUGH

[Salanewt]

Ditto! Well, I don't mind cooking so much, but other chores can get annoying if I am reminded that they need to be done.

Good music helps, but I have to be careful that I don't daydream or dance instead of work.

[Atrius (He/They)]

I'm with Charon, chores never bother me, it was constantly being reminded by parents when I already knew that annoyed me.  "Yes Mom, the garbage truck comes every Tuesday, thank you for reminding me at breakfast Monday morning..."   and the always popular:  "Sorry I can't unload the dishwasher right now, or did you want me to reload it with the clean dishes I put away earlier first?"

[dwkjohn]

I have a big problem with day dreaming. There are so many things  more interesting to think about. Sometimes i sneak inside to check here to see what i missed before gong back outside.

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

To me, I would imagine one of the most common chores that would seem annoying would be:

Cleaning up after someone who is too lazy to clean up for themselves almost everyday.

This is not necessarily something I do,(unless you count the dishes on the counter.. every now and then,,, but..), this can get quite old after time. Dishes on counters can lead to an ant problem. Etc. (I am actually describing my (older) brother, who seems to be the messiest in the family.. but anyway.)

[Rolina]

Chores actually are really deceptive ways of teaching.  What they really do is teach you how to do these things yourselves when you move out.  Someone who paid attention doing their chores won't mix colors in the wash, or will know more efficient ways of cleaning dishes, etc.

This is the same with my brother. execpt its my room he messes up and I am made to clean it... makes me so mad!

Completely agree. You'd be surprised by how many kids don't know how to run a washer in my area. lol

Yeah, kids, just remember that the difference between girls shirts and guy's shirts is the side the buttons are on! Lol.

[Rolina]

Not just that, but for the love of God, don't mix your whites and your reds.  Especially you boys, you'll regret it for a very long time.

[Salanewt]

There is something wrong with pink? I never seem to have problems with dyes mixing. Well, there was this one time down in Florida when my grandmother's underwear mixed with my shorts, but that was because the water had more chlorine than the water I normally have access to. Luckily, they were both brown.

[Rolina]

Nothing wrong with it, but do you want it to be the only color you get to wear?

[Aile~♥]

Were Zelos Wilder a real person, I'm sure he wouldn't mind...

And you pull concrete bricks out of a lake on a daily basis? That must suck.

[dwkjohn]

Yeah. I just got in from getting 5 more. Still have 3 left.
