Mrs sexual finally had it with the Xmas tree being up. It’s too big, scratchy, fragile, while still being heavy and bs to store. You have to vacuum after setup AND after tear down. Wtf. Burt jr. Set it up this year and had to band aid some baleing wire and what not for some limbs. Anyone want a 15’ tree I bought 20 years ago?

What are your most hated chores/tasks?

Cleaning the cat's litter box. Most of my life I have had indoor/outdoor cats and then because I get into relationships end up saddled with imprisoned furballs who seem to have a knack for distributing litter all over the house The Great Escape style even though the little bastards don't even have pockets.

I like washing dishes :shrug:
It's a very meditative activity and if you ever worked as a dish washer any household load is a joke.

cleaning out the gutters, besides the possibility of death, it's dirty and smelly and hurts the knees

I had to use a ladder to get the top two pieces of the tree. No helmet, no safety harness, it’s scary.

But like real, I shake climbing up on the roof.

I'm not even bad on a ladder or scared of heights, but I loving hate ladders that raise me more than 3 feet because I've worked in factories too long and watched too many OSHA videos

according to OSHA ladders should be 3 feet above where you get off

How often do you empty it? Mine gets super loud if I leave it too long. When it's empty it's pretty quiet though

Also, Burt, while you're here, how do mods figure out who permabanned users are when they rereg (so you can ban them again)? Is it their writing style, their favorite topics...?

Follow the light with just your eyes.

Okay, now stick your arms straight out and close your eyes. Now, without opening your eyes, touch your nose with your right hand. Okay, now your left.

Now recite the alphabet backwards.

gently caress, I just cleaned the roof of my shed and gutters on New Years and it was awful.

My house has gutter guards and I've never looked in the gutters proper. I'm like 60% sure one section of them has a hornet nest in it.

- changing seals, fixing taps. Real simple but ultimately just paying a dude with a truck full of rubber seals of all sizes is easier, albeit fuckin expensive. I just redid a bunch of leaky seals and I’m pissed about how many times I had to turn the water off and on to test seals on poo poo.

- painting. hosed. For idiots. Somehow less simple than basic plumbing tasks despite just being putting paint on a fuckin thing, wtf

- digging holes. Love every part of gardening except this. gently caress digging holes.

- cleaning the toilet. Self explanatory for the most part but this task also has an extra layer of making me wonder if my poor diet choices, despite only manifesting in bizarrely places toilet stains for the moment might kill me sooner than I expect

- church. Questionable as to if this counts as a chore but imo it does and it sucks

- jerking off. Not as good as sex, makes a mess which needs to be cleaned up aka ANOTHER CHORE

We’ve got a gas fireplace in our bedroom, and we had buzzzzzzz for a year. I had an exterminator climb a ladder.

One of the things I specified looking for a house was that I didn't want a fireplace. It seems like a whole lot of hassle constantly for something you'll use like 3-4 times a year max (because it's such a huge hassle).

Man gently caress plumbing. I had a flapper leaking last week, which like...okay cheap and easy to fix. My shower head valve blew and the increased water pressure is great feeling but it makes a loving mess so that has to get fixed. The bathtub faucet knob is that disgusting plastic fake crystal builder's grade bullshit and the faceplate cracked and broke off so that should get replaced. And then Thursday my kitchen faucet started dripping (it has a lovely low-flow head loc-tite'd to the spigot that's been broken for over a year and it's finally going) so now I get to replace a loving faucet.

Using loc-tite makes you a stupid idiot jackass. Buy plumbing fixtures that are better quality than bottom tier builder's grade and install them properly and you won't need loc-tite you loving cretins.

I had a low emission California approved locking door wood fireplace installed in the basement. It cold here. The other two are natural gas and low emissions as well. We never run most, just the basement during winter.
