Having to put the toilet seat back down when I'm finished. I find it a waste of time and energy - first I have to bend down and lift it up then a few seconds later I'm bending down again to put the seat back down. Actually the wife and I share the chores I do the outside stuff and she does the inside stuff. The only chore I don't like is racking leafs. Cheers!

I do not like to dust. With three kids there used to be so much clutter - pens, calculators, papers, books etc. - on the furniture, it took more time to move all that stuff than it was worth. Then when it got cluttered again you couldn't even see the dusted furniture. I haven't done it for decades even though all the kids are grown and gone. I'd rather wear myself out cutting grass and pulling weeds in the tropical heat.
Repairs of all types. I'm not mechanically-inclined and have trouble with repairmen. I paid several hundred dollars to have all the sprinklers in my front yard fixed a couple years back. They guy came out and did the work- even had them running by messing with the box in the yard, so I thought they'd be good. After he left, I realized they didn't work when I used the main control panel. I contacted him repeatedly and he never returned my calls or came back. About a year after that, I hired a general handyman to help. He volunteered to fix it free if I slept with him. :/ Needless to say, that didn't happen. So... I recently decided if I could just get someone to teach me how to do it, I'd be golden. I took out an ad and made it quite clear that I was looking for a professional and would pay an hourly wage. The first response I got was a guy who volunteered to do it free if I wore pantyhose and the second one didn't discuss the work at all, but let me know he was a good-looking veteran. ... I give up. I'm throwing rocks in my yard and calling it good. Side note: I seriously considered messaging the pantyhose guy back and offering double if he wore the pantyhose instead, but I found it doubtful he'd appreciate my humor.
Pigs. Disgusting pigs. Don’t worry, I’m a man and I’m the opposite of mechanically inclined. If I were to do repair work myself it would be like an episode of Home Improvement. Fortunately I have friends and relatives who can pretty much handle any and all repairs. They’re much cheaper too. Usually some pizzas, beer, and $50 is perfect payment for them.
Basically I don't like cooking and cleaning. I let my husband do both of those because his cooking tastes better and he's also a little obsessive compulsive so he naturally keeps the house clean without me having to do any work. The only drawback is having to listen to my mother complain about how I'm being a lousy wife.
