50 Things I'd Rather Do Than Laundry

We all have that one chore we hate doing. Some people hate vacuuming. Some hate scrubbing the toilet. I’d venture to say most of you agree with me when I say that laundry is the worst chore in the entire universe, and I hate it with the passion of a thousand angry toddlers.

The thing about laundry is that, unless you and your family are forming a nudist colony, it’s never 100% finished. Sure, all the laundry in the basket could be washed and dried, but the clothes that you’re wearing while washing and drying are now in need of washing, as well as the clothes everyone else in the house has been wearing while you washed and dried.

Laundry isn’t a simple task either — like when you do dishes, you wash the dish and then you’re done. With laundry, there are like a million steps. You have to find it all, then sort it all, then wash it all, then dry it all, then fold it all, then put it all away. So many steps for a chore that’s never done.

Because I want you to understand just how deep my hatred for laundry goes, I’ve compiled a list of 50 things I would rather do than laundry.
