Be honest? 😅
Washing dishes is more annoying.
Here’s why most people secretly agree:
- 🧼 It’s wet, messy, and never-ending.
Food stuck on plates, greasy pans, soggy sponges… and somehow the sink is full again 5 minutes later. - 🕒 It feels more urgent.
Dirty dishes smell, attract bugs, and block the sink. You have to deal with them now. - 😖 It’s sensory torture.
Cold water, slimy leftovers, clanking plates, splashes on your clothes. Folding laundry at least stays dry and clean. - 📉 Zero sense of completion.
You wash everything… then someone makes tea. Boom. New cup, new spoon, new plate.
Meanwhile, folding laundry is annoying too — but:
- It’s dry
- You can watch TV or listen to music
- It doesn’t smell
- It can be postponed without consequences
- And it actually feels satisfying when it’s done
So yes…
👉 Washing dishes wins the “most annoying chore” award. 🏆
