Paying The Bills. I hate the process of opening and reading the statements, the mental exercise of subtracting amounts off of my bank balance, and the physical act of writing out the checks. All other paperwork, especially anything with forms to be filled in, is almost as bad.
Vacuuming. I have serious chronic health problems, and vacuuming even (the smallish amount of exposed carpet in) my little 490 sq. ft. apartment can wear me out. (Special note to S. Claus, E. Bunny and/or T. Fairy: Please, please bring me a Roomba, please.)
(Although, if it weren't for the physical toll that vacuuming taking out of me, my second item would be cleaning the toilet. There's a certain nasty quality to the grimy dust (who here was it that coined the word "grust" for just such stuff?) on the exterior porcelain surfaces that has a special ickiness all its own.)

Paperwork and dusting! Oh, and can I add "shaving my legs" too?

Cleaning baseboards and animal hygiene. i was going to swish that the blinds would dust themselves, but when bonbons chose animal hygiene, I realized that the blinds at least hold still while you clean them!
I am picturing my big dog and little dog taking showers--with little shower caps and loofahs.

I find a lot of satisfaction in cleaning bathrooms (not decluttering, but the scrubbing down stuff)
It can go from icky to shiny and sparkly relatively quickly, and it makes me feel accomplished. Until the next male walks into the bathroom and everything ends up undone with one trip to the toilet.

Floors and countertops. I could put everything else there and they would take care of it.

I love doing laundry and I don't mind washing dishes at all. I hate yardwork and (I better pick this because I mentined it already in Listzilla ) vacuuming the stairs.

Paperwork and clutter. I can manage laundry and dishes, and I can vacuum,sweep and mop by myself. But those pesky papers!
