    I pick up and put away and wipe everything down with Clorox wipes. And put away laundry and gather up the dirty. We drop our laundry off at a laundromat & they do the washing & folding for us. xD It's just a major bitch getting it there cuz it's usually around 20 or 30 lbs and gotta try and stuff it in our cart and lug it down there.

    If I ever go to an EoFF meetup I want everyone to make sure they bring everything they need ironed, because apparently I'm the only person around who actually enjoys a bit of ironing. Go figure.

    I don't mind doing dishes as much as some people, especially if the sink is situated high enough that my height does not cause back hurtages from standing bent over for too long.

    I don't mind folding some laundry, but I hate shirts.

    It's kind of nice to have some place in the house where you can be a little messy.

    The only chore I really like doing is the dishes! I don't mind hoovering, kind of, but it requires a bit more effort. Any chore I can listen to music and zone out is fine by me

    Agreed! I've always been terribly messy in my bedroom. Every few months I'll clean it like mad, and it'll stay that way for a few weeks.*

    *this has not been applicable since moving in and sharing a bedroom with my SO
    SOs tend to change the messy/clean dynamic in interesting (read: annoying) ways.

    We have compromised in that he accepts my designated messy piles

    I cannot fold things, no matter how much I've tried to learn! And I can't iron. I make more creases and weird lines and it looks worse and worse the more I try.

    I can't make a bed either, like put the sheet on the duvet. I often get lost inside of it

    I clean quite a bit. I like things in drawers folded and organized, things on shelves alphabetized and organized by genre, surfaces wiped down and free of grime/dust, and the refrigerator free of any old food.

    I used to set aside some time every evening to clean, and a few hours over the weekend for house cleaning every week. This is probably overwhelming for a lot of people, but I like things neat damn it!!!

    Refuse to do: clean the toilet mostly because I don't poop much and I don't want to clean up after someone else's poop.

    I also don't particulary like organizing my clothes but I'll do it. I'm game for pretty much anything except the toilet.

    I love doing the dishes.

    And the laundry. And folding the laundry.

    I even enjoy vacuuming and wiping stuff down.


    But I do get in my moods when I just don't wanna. Like the last two weeks have been super stressful for me, but today most of my worries from the last couple weeks just went away. Much stressed relieved, and now I can enjoy my chores again.

    Jinx reminded me that shower cleaning is bloody awful


    In my student house the shower was blocking a bit and so I looked in the pipe and there was like enough hair to make 2 Sephex ponytails in the pipe and I have no idea how long it had been since it was last cleaned but omg I felt gross

    I don't mind general decluttering, as that always seems to have the most noticeable return on my investment of time. 5 minutes of picking things up can transform my room.

    Cleaning gets more annoying the more pony merch I have to move

    I HATE ironing. Every time I buy some new clothes and they say "do not iron", or they're the type that come out of the wash looking great, I have an orgasm - those are the best type of clothes.

    Cleaning is a way for me to de-stress and feel good. When I get done, I just sit back and go, "Ahhhhhh."

    That being said, I'm not a huge fan of cleaning the litter box. Shion is really good about it.
