From No. 10 through No. 6, Idaho Dad lists the 10 worst household chores as:

10. Dusting. I just can’t get excited about dusting. Vacuuming, yes, wiping shelves with a rag, no. Maybe it’s because the vacuum is a power tool and we all know that men love to have machines doing their work for them. Besides, dusting involves rearranging perfectly placed objects and knick-knacks. Anyone with even an ounce of OCD knows how frustrating this can be.

9. Clearing clutter. I’ve learned to dislike this only through daily repetition and the perception that it never gets any better. Will the clutter ever be gone? No, of course it won’t. Clutter abhors a vacuum.

8. Folding laundry. I’m good at cleaning the clothes, but my enthusiasm wanes once it’s out of the dryer. Again with the machines. Laundry, however, is a great excuse to binge-watch something on Netflix. Second only to folding it is putting it all away. You just know the kids are going to dump that neatly folded pile onto the floor of their closet.

7. Cleaning bathtubs and showers. I don’t mind cleaning toilets. It’s immediate and satisfying. Tubs and showers, on the other hand, seem like they should just clean themselves. They get a daily rinsing with soap and hot water when someone use them. Why should I have to do more?

6. Clearing out the refrigerator. Every few weeks, the fridge gets too crowded and I have to sort through the leftovers. There’s nothing good about lifting up the corner of a container of three-week old tuna casserole. Or discovering that a bowl of strawberry Jell-O has been knocked over and the contents are now pooled at the bottom of the fridge behind the veggie drawer. It also pains me to mentally add up all the money wasted on rotten food. Find out the remaining 5 here.

Question: Do you agree with Idaho Dad's list?
