We don't iron stuff so not a problem and I don't mind most jobs (actually like cooking) but bins and bin juice along with duvet covers for some reason are the shittest jobs
Dog piss/crap/sick clean-up, but hey, I don't have children, so that must be a useful training camp for dealing with the body-waste of others in the house.
I don't mind doing the lot to be honest, but my favourite is cooking and least favourite is sorting to recycling and the bins, even though that is my main job when it comes to womens work! Ffs
I do all the ironing in my house, have done since I left home, hate putting new duvet covers on.
There is a technique for doing them, god knows how I'd even begin to describe it but it involves turning the cover inside out and doing a kind of Scandinavian flick.
Ironing I don't mind, it's the volume of it that annoys me. And the lack of a flat surface near where the ironing board is
Don't mind washing up, abhor drying up when there is not enough room on the drying rack. Soggy tea towels.
Lived in a shared house a few times and then it was definitely the bathroom. The clogged up drain Lived with one person that put used toilet paper in the bin instead of the toilet, that was pretty nasty after a few days.

A Scandinavian flick might work with beans, but not sure about duvets.
My marriage was built on tradition. I did the blue jobs my wife the pink jobs.
Tragically I lost my wife to cancer at a really young age and with three youngish kids I found out the ugly truth about pink jobs. They are many, they are constant, time consuming, boring, repetitive, essential - and bloody hard work. Furthermore they pretty much go unnoticed and unappreciated.
You can always leave the blue jobs - cutting the grass, cleaning the car, the decorating etc. Diametrically opposed to this however .. the feeding of kids, hoovering, washing, cooking, cleaning, tidying, washing up, changing beds, ironing and sorting the children out has to be done without delay - and its all without end - it’s like painting the Forth bloody bridge.
I know the outrageous statement above could get me drummed out of the ‘Men’s Club’, but honestly guys it is the undeniable truth. I shudder to think that I used to come home from work, lay on the settee and wait for my dinner. I have (over the years) paid my penance.
If you have a similar arrangement to the one I had, buy some flowers, take her out and most importantly, say thankyou. You can (metaphorically speaking) doff your hat to your lucky, lucky stars.
I must be the lazy bstd the wife says I am I rarely do any of the above
I cook occasionaly, I fill the dish washer incorrectly, I put them away incorrectly ,
I put the bins out when I am home on a Tues , and I pick the dog shit up from the run in the garden every morning I am home unless I have less than four hrs kip till I have to leave again for work

Least Favourite... Washing Up or putting the clothes out on the line, both seem to take an age
Worst - Changing the duvet / Cleaning the oven
Give the most satisfaction afterwards - Cleaning the oven / de-weeding the patio!
I rarely even bother putting my clothes in the cupboard and just live straight from the dry clothes on the balcony.
