1)Folding/Putting Away Laundry

3. ordering food over the phone. ordering in a restaurant? fine. calling a pizza place and ordering food? i hate it. i will go to incredible lengths to make someone else order. i don't understand it, either.

Hell yeah! In almost 6 years here at work I've only called in the lunch order 3 times. Once every two years? I can live with that!

It's not just food for me though. I hate it anytime I have to call someone I don't know.

i happily made business calls - cold calls, even - for three years at ncsa. but ordering food is beyond me, for whatever reason. i would rather go hungry than order food over the phone.

I hate to clean. Vacuuming, dusting, scrubbing - it's all horrid. I'm fine with organizing and tidying, mind you, and I like things to look like they have some sort of order, but OMG. I gladly chip in to have a cleaning woman work her magic every two weeks.

The food delivery thing - YES!!! For me, it's a relic of childhood shyness. I hate calling strangers on the phone. It's gotten a bit better in recent years, but if somebody else is around, I'll try to make them call.

I'm fine about folding laundry and emptying the dishwasher. And I'm sure I'll think of other things I hate to do later, but now I'm drawing a blank.

1. drive past the biggest feed lot in Texas (twice) - It's like having cow anuses stuffed up your nose.

2. play the contrabassoon - I'm actually physically too small to do it. Pain pain pain.

3. hike at Pisgah at any time during the summer - Is it possible to die from mosquito bites? 'Cause if I try that hike again, I might.

4. spend the night at the airport - less fun than it sounds

5. pile 3 cords of wood - and I almost certainly get to do it again this fall. yay!

For me it was in St. Louis, coming home from Carleton after my freshman year. I missed my connection because of weather, and didn't have money for a hotel, even with the discount they wanted to give me. So they gave me a toothbrush and blanket, and I camped at the airport. Major suck.

Numbers 1-3: Roadtrip straight from Montreal to Columbia, South Carolina with all four other members of my family and myself in one car with out ever stopping for more than food/gas/bathroom. It was something insane like 1800 miles and 23 hours and I will never in my life do that again. No, just, no.

Number 4: 2AM redeye flight from New York to Zurich on an old Swiss Air plane that still allows smoking, in the seat just in front of the restroom sitting next to a guy who spent the entire flight eating sinky cheese & various type of sausage.

Number 5: 1 hour taxi-ing on a runway in Belieze City in the near 100 degree heat (plus humidity & not breeze) in a tiny plane that had no AC.

re: #1-3. ... just. no. i would not wish that on you, i would not wish that on anyone. *shudder*
