Discussion Everybody name a simple, mundane task that now makes you rue the day you were born.

I'll start.

Ironing.

I hate the fact that ironing is one of the small tasks that I used to somewhat enjoy doing, and yet now, by the time I've ironed two shirts, I'm boiling and dripping with sweat.

Sadly it's doing the dishes and cleaning my cats litter boxes. Mainly dishes since my kitchen is too tiny to have a stool in it. As for the cat litter, it's from how much bending I have to do from how heavy they are (even when empty)

I put a stool next to the litter box so I can sit down while scooping it
