What stupid thing that takes 5 minutes do you hate to do?

Tying shoes. I hate it so much that I've pretty much phased out most shoes with laces in favor of slip on shoes.

I love the bolded, because we give them to our dogs to clean out first, and nothing makes them happier!

Getting a duvet in the cover.

Absolute worst job ever.

Or I’ll put it on then a few minutes later will need to wash my hands. Repeat.

I could have written this. I have serious old lady hands and hate putting on hand lotion.

Another with dry old lady hands! Mine will crack and bleed, so eventually I have to do aquaphor and socks at night. I keep lotion in my car, but then my hands are all slimy on the wheel.

then you're using too much. Use less and just put it on the back of one hand, rub the backs of your hands together a bit before using the palms to finish the job. But using less is key.

That only takes you five minutes!? lol. I struggle with it for much longer than that

That's why I quit using duvets altogether and now use quilts. Easy peasy.

I don’t mind the five minutes to put duvet in cover because making the bed is a breeze with the duvet!!

I switched to quilts after my husband died. I do not have the patience to deal with duvet covers. My husband could do it in 3 minutes.

I hate taking out the trash. I don't know why but it irks me to no end. It is like the easiest thing in the world to do but it sends me into a serious conniption fit if I have to tie up a trash bag in a trash can and walk the bag to the garage and put it in the big green trash can. I don't know what my problem is but I definitely have one about taking out the trash.

Just make sure it’s all natural peanut butter because the kind with additives can kill them. Or so my vet tells me.

I don’t mind emptying the dishwasher, but I despise having to refill the rinse aid.
