Tasks that bore you

[Cyanista]

Lately I've been doing the same old things over and over again until every ounce of interest I may have once had is utterly wrung out - pretty tiresome, actually.
One of these chores is washing the same old dishes evry stinkin' day. (I've been washing the whole family's dishes since I was chosen for the job when I was nine or something) :wtf: don't get me wrong, I'm grateful I'm at least supplied with the proper cleaning products (a sponge as opposed to a rag, per se) but c'mon, it's gettin' beyond old.

Anywho, what tasks have become tedious for you? Your honest answer here, please

I know the feeling; ever since my mom and I moved, I've been the one assigned with doing the dishes. We put so much seasoning on our food that cleaning them should be on an episode of Dirty Jobs

But seriously, I also hate cleaning the dishes. I also hate the fact that I have to mow the lawn once a week, and have for a long time. I also have to walk over to my Aunt's house to pick stuff up for her all the time.

Getting up in the morning.

I find general cleaning to be a bore, even with Queen on in the background to entertain me. Filling in application forms for jobs, as well...always the same information, yet always in different places, and it's not like they read the bit about why you want the job etc, so it seems pointless to have it there...

As terrible as it may sound, speaking to people at work that I dislike with a passion. Every.Single.Day.

I know it's part of my job, but it sucks. Sometimes I'll be in a situation where I'm talking to someone and I'm thinking, "I just want to smack you in the face. You know it, and I know it. Please, just leave."

It may not sound like a task, but believe me, it is.

My entire daily ritual bores me... get up, get ready, go to work, work for 8 hours, go home, get a bit of me time, sleep. Rince and repeat... it's a bore... unfortunately that is life and you've gotta work if you want money :S

Anything repetitive does me in.

I can't stand shit that has no variety, like knitting, for example. I find it to be so dull and only useful when time consuming is necessary. The only interesting thing about it is the goal at the end, and it's a relief when you finish (or I'd imagine so. I've never gotten through an entire scarf). I like to watch things be created in different ways. That's why I prefer to sew. It's not just about the destination, it's the journey as well.

Sewing vs knitting is just a small example though.

My job.

I'll be fine for ages and then one day just be sitting there thinking, 'It's the same old shitty thing every day. When the hell will it all end!' Though I guess I'd be out of work if it did end.

It is the longest job I've ever had and I guess I'm just not one for staying in the same spot for too long, which is why I get antsy every now and then and sometimes really dread going into work.

But eventually I get out of that mood and get over it and realise that it's better than nothing. >.<

Facebook. What a terribly dull site. I check only when I get notifications on someone messaging me, so I can reply. Staying in touch is the only reason I have an account. There's nothing on that site for me otherwise.

My god, that did bore me. Get some spice in you girl. That's called .. in a rut.

I try to keep my life interesting for myself as I can, though I am humble about it for the most part (at least I think, only friends can vouch). Though all within the constraints of my pay check of course.

The things that bore me/annoy me though are..

1) My dad constantly reminding me to go to Church when he comes to town; as well as trying to see how I manage my money. (he's a cpa)

2) Where I live, people are always constantly asking me "when are ya'll having kids". That's not only annoying, but intrusive. Bores me.. due to it's repeated.

3) When someone gets a tattoo because of society, instead of getting a tattoo of something very meaningful to them. Tattoos are art to me.. have it mean something to you, even if you don't tell other folks what it means.

4) Agoraphobics. I have a few friends who are insistent to always host parties at their house. They never leave their house. The only way I can see them is by joining them, and then they turn their nose up when you don't come or leave early.

5) Gossipers. I have to deal with them in the work place, and after work too. It's sad that they will only talk to you if you look like your listening or give a shit.

6) Politics. It's exasperating hearing about politics or the news today. I do not care anymore. That is my stance.

7) Cable Television and Satelite - I got away from television as a whole due the commercials and ads. Now the ads are commuting to even my Xbox. Wtf? Though the main reason I hate television is because:

A) Reality Television
B) Repetitive News
C) Celebrity Gossip
D) Laugh Track Sitcoms

I have quite a few more.. but I feel at this point, I'm bitching .

Laundry. I don't mind the washing, but putting laundry away, folding them, hanging them up...what a chore. I don't mind doing dishes, sweeping, mopping the floors, vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms, etc... but there's something about putting laundry away that just irritates me. Especially when my husband dumps a 2nd or 3rd or 4th load on the bed while I'm still working on putting away the 1st load, and my son jumping on the piles that I've already done and messing the clothes up...30 minutes later, I start to wonder if I'll ever get it done.

Work

Need i say more.

I hate making the same thing for dinner over and over again. Stir-fry is one of these dishes. No matter what I try to throw in to make things interesting, it's still pretty boring.

 

[Bambi]

emptying the washing machine, its all the fafing about, hanging it all out to dry then having to put it away later. i refuse to iron, i draw the line at that. just, doing the washing is such a horrible necessity. i wish i could just throw away my clothes and buy new ones every day so i didnt have to bother doing it.

certain conversations bore me, like when some ones trying to go into detail about how websites work, or how thier stereo works or what the buttons in their cars do and why.... and it just goes on and on to the point i end up saying, this is really boring me now

Work

Need i say more.

I no longer have that problem

am housewife

Dish-washing, I find it to be particularly monotonous and I especially loathe when my family members leave a nice pile of dishes and cups for me to wash. I mean, I've been doing it since I was like 12 years old so you figure I should be used to it. I like to joke that I could be a professional dish washer I do it so much at my house. Laundry isn't so tedious for me, that's something I've been doing since middle-school. I actually find the whole act of loading up the washing machine and then drying clothes to be ... therapeutic but dish-washing? Oh man, I don't like it. Especially when you have to scrub dried food and those remnants of crust or whatever at the bottom of frying skillets and pots---no way. But I guess it's alright.

Job-hunting is also tedious and monotonous. I find myself just automatically putting in the same information on my applications. The whole process is just so methodical and annoying. "First name, Last name, age, date of birth, etc." So I agree with Fleur about that bit. Let's see what else? Getting up in the morning because I'm like a zombie, don't talk to me, don't laugh at me, don't ask me how I slept. As a matter of fact don't even make eye contact with me within the first five-ten minutes of me waking up. I loathe morning rituals. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

Making my bed oh my god this repetitive shit. Especially when the bed is against a wall and you get to lean over and squish the sheets in between the wall and the mattress and make it all uneven and wrinkly

 

[Tyler Breeze]

I'm on the same boat as Squid. My whole day is just boring these days. I'm not being ungrateful, but it would be nice to have some change every once in a while. But until then I'm chillin.

Shopping

I can't stand that repetitive bullshit. Women's clothing is unrealistic as hell, and it's hard enough finding something I like, but it has to fit properly as well - which it rarely does.

I absolutely hate this aswell for the exact same reasons. For starters il always put the sheet on the wrong way so it doesnt fit by the time i do get it on the corner in the wall the sheet is wanting to pop off. Then after all that you still have the duvet cover to put on. Pillow cases are the only bit that is easy

Pretty much this. I work in a stationary store and we get the most vapid, petty customers you can imagine. Haggling over the price of a 49p pencil springs to mind. We also get 'regulars' who just come in to talk to the staff. I've had customers pouring their soul out to me while I'm stacking hole punchers and as much as I want to be accommodating and friendly I have an inner George Carlin screaming "shut the f**k up, shut the f**k up!!"
