We all have that one household chore that we absolutely despise. Some people can’t stand vacuuming, while others dread scrubbing the toilet. But let’s be real: when it comes to laundry, I think we can all agree that it’s the worst task out there. I loathe it with the fervor of a thousand tantrum-throwing toddlers.
The endless cycle of laundry is a perpetual nightmare. Even when you think you’ve conquered the mountain of clothes in the basket, the garments you’re wearing become the next burden. It’s a never-ending loop! Unlike doing the dishes, where you can wash a plate and call it a day, laundry involves a multitude of steps: collecting, sorting, washing, drying, folding, and finally, putting everything away. It’s exhausting just thinking about it.
To illustrate the depth of my disdain for laundry, I’ve put together a list of 50 things I’d much rather do than face that mountain of clothes:
- Embark on a journey to Mars with 17 toddlers.
- Have a wacky comedian perform surgery on me.
- Relive my awkward middle school years.
- Give up chocolate for life.
- Swear off alcohol forever.
- Attend a political rally I don’t support.
- Take a dip in jalapeño juice.
- Grow up to resemble a cartoon character.
- Let my 4-year-old stylist give me a haircut.

I could keep going, but alas, the dryer just dinged. It’s time to fold clothes and feel a bit of my spirit wither away with every pair of pants I tackle.
