I detest ironing and vacuuming the mostest. Soon as it's done it needs to be done again...totally pointless constant work. I can't stand emptying the dishwasher either for some reason, and my pet peeve currently is that the water bottle ALWAYS runs out when I'm the only one there so I have to change the bottle. Such a small thing but endlessly irritating.

Mopping floors and Ironing ! I just can't keep up with ironing, by the time I finished I am then way behind with the washing, LOL !! and mopping floors I just don't do, DH has to do and does as he can't stand dirty floors - luckily for me. Just takes me soooo long. He is also useless at filling the dishwasher so I actually enjoy moving it all to the right place or just filling it myself, so nice not to have a sink full of dishes !

Laundry is the worst!!! First there's the sorting, then the actual washing (easy enough) then the remembering to take it out in time and hanging it up, taking it down, folding and ironing and putting it away................. Just too much work!!
