What chore do you loath? For me plumbing. Not only inceedibly frustrating, i am getting too old to get my head under a sink and contort my body to get at the fixtures. I did a lot of swearing tonight.

I loathe all chores. By definition. Otherwise, they would be "hobbies"... and I don't have any hobbies.

Plumbing requires too much skill to call a chore IMO.

I hate folding laundry.

Get a pair of wireless earbuds to listen to your favorite music or podcast and every chore then becomes a hobby. I gave a pair of Apple airpods to a friend and it changed her life; she never leaves home without them.

Plumbing seems more like a repair job rather than a chore.

I'd take that trade

I don't mind doing the dishes, though I'd rather they not sit overnight with food on the plate. I'd rather do that than unload the dishwasher afterward.

Been doing that this past week.
Seems a lot worse than previous years given recent rains.
The only thing worse is cleaning out my backyard fountain which contains wildlife excrement.

I'm with you. Dishes are therapeutic, laundry feels tedious

I don't mind putting away laundry as long as I know where everything goes.

Didn't like it when young and bending over was easy, like it even less now.

Tried renting goats one time to deal with weeds. Don't recommend.

may be they eat more than just weeds, and leave behind round stuff?

I find it burdensome to don a sport coat or even operate a pencil unassisted. Isn't that footman work anyway?

Their poop is genuinely disgusting and yeah, they will eat just about everything including the plants you actually care about.

They're more suited for large empty lots than for backyards.
