Most loved and hated chores

Okay, this may not strictly be on-topic...

Oh wait, I am the mod here. I can do this :)

The last entry on grocery shopping caused me to wonder: what are your most hated chores (and why), and what are the chores you actually like (and why)?

Most hated: Ironing. I only do so when I absolutely must - otherwise, I try and hang clothing fresh from the dryer, let it steam in the bathroom while I shower, or use a steamer. I also am quite adept at conning my father into ironing the tops that require it :) Dusting. Bah, so pointless as dust just accumulates right away again. For this, I try to use the vacumm attachment on tabletops, lamps, and curtains. MOPPING! I have an irrational hate for this chore. I refuse to do it at home! Luckily, when I had my own place, the roomie didn't mind it and at home, I'll do the other stuff as long as someone else mops.

Likes: I usually enjoy grocery shopping. The things I dislike about it are when I return and the family bitches because they forgot to add to the list (I only ask everyone at least 3x times before I go if there's anything I forgot). Grr. Or, if I have to go at a different time than usual. I love having my routine and knowing how empty the store can be at the right time so I can shop at my own pace. Laundry is another chore I enjoy. It can be pretty mindless so it's perfect for thinking things over or listening to music. Plus, I love the feel/smell of freshly laundered clothes!

Who know I had so many opinions on chores, lol.
