Trauma

[MadeOfApples]

Household tasks?

None.

I took care of the developmentally disabled and worked in a nursing home so excrements are nothing. Cleaning up the after effects of coprophagia is HIGHLY traumatizing.

As for traumatic household chores, I once found a deceased kitten under my closest floorboards as a child.

plunging toilets is pretty horrible, but replacing the chain on the flush handle is pretty bad too, because even if you KNOW that the water up there is clean, ;ooooo

I've had to do it so much on the Jet Flush back home that it really doesn't phase me anymore. I just hate having to do it when the house it cold 'cause that toilet water just gets icy.

I guess cleaning out the fridge is traumatizing, because we always get such a backlog of leftovers at home and eventually they just get nasty and moldy and stinky and it's just gross.

[Tavrobel]

It was so gross to look at and the water kept splashing on my HANDS.

The most traumatizing event for me was helping my dad out in the yard and then getting struck by a chain on a saw that broke and snapped off and flew at me. It hurt.

I changed a diaper once.

You brave souls

This is reason #47 on the list of why I am not having children ever ever.

[Fate Fatale]

Probably unclogging a toilet that I myself did not clog. Grossest. thing. ever.

[fairweather]

Burying a dead body in the back yard. Wait, perhaps I've said too much.

In all seriousness however, I have no trouble with household tasks, besides the fact that they are tasks and I don't feel like doing them because I'm lazy.

Yup. This.

If you think unclogging a toilet is traumatizing, I'd hate to see how you react once you have children, Jessibell.

Me too! Good thing I'm only having one child! I'm terrified to have to learn how to change diapers.

You know that one child is probably going to have to be changed from time to time, right? :P

And yes, if you were getting water on you, you're doing it wrong. :P

Cleaning up liquid cat poo wasn't an experience I relished.

[Markus. D]

Cleaning a tiny shower-sized avery with Bird Crap all over.

[Raebus]

Dear god, that must have been horrific. I've cleaned up (Someone put it everywhere withins a girls toilets where I work) so yeah, I've had to do worse things than unclogging a toilet.

My favorite is whilst unclogging a toilet, and you think it is unclogged so you flush it, but nooo, it isn't unclogged. Instead, it overflows full with its lovely contents all over the floor...:XXXX

[Lawr]

This is only your first time?

I hate it when that happens.

I'm agreeing with Roto and Tav here, you were doing it wrong jess, the water shouldn't splash on you it should be a gentle swell in the bowl not an underwater eruption! Still it can be pretty traumatising I agree, depends on if people had been to the toilet when it was blocked and then you had to do it.

In my own experiences the most traumatising thing I think I ever did was when spending a couple of days at a friends house where no one had done washing up or cleaned the kitchen for around a month due to an argument, me and my friend got sick of it and decided to just do it. This decision was a big mistake, by the time we'd finished cleaning things up we'd thrown most of their kitchenware straight in to the neighbours skip (with permission ofcourse) and thrown up a dozen times, I ended up in the garden pressure washing the pots on patio because we refused to touch them. It was that disgusting that I swore that if I ever lived with any of my friends it would be none of the boys I knew and if I had to I'd sleep with the girls to keep them happy regardless of my personal preferences or relationship status, just so long as they kept tidying. I'm now considering moving out with my best mate from highschool, he however understands how much I am obsessive about having a clean kitchen and no mouldy plates, cups or glasses and definitely no pans!

As for changing diapers? I've changed a couple, poopy ones are horrible I can't bring myself to do them but I've done a couple of wet ones, the first time I ever done one though I had to laugh my nephew actually checked the nappy was going to stay on before he got up, he was like 1...my nephew had no faith in my nappy changing skills because he rightfully understood I don't do that!

Plunging toilets is easy. Now, maggoty trash explosions suck.
