Hello guys, good morning. 
Today I just finished washing clothes, I washed them manually by hand. Because my mother didn't let me buy a washing machine, to save electricity, she said, as well as exercise so I could move a lot.
Yes, washing clothes, ironing and folding clothes are some boring jobs for me. But like it or not I have to do it, otherwise I won't have neat and clean clothes. I wash my mother's clothes too, and let my father and brother wash them themselves.
How about you, what a boring job for you?

Yes, vacuuming is boring too. But it must still be done so that our homes are clean.

If you have the money to buy a washing machine, I'd buy a washing machine. They are energy efficient these days, and they get your clothes cleaner that we can by hand. Of course, if you don't have the money, that's different. If you wash everything on cold water in the machine you save even more money, save electricity, and it's better for the environment. I just hate to think of you tiring your arms out if you don't have to. Considering your mother isn't the one who has to do the washing I think you should have a say. I'm sure your mother is a lovely woman who wants the best for you. You are kind to wash her clothes.
A boring job for me is dusting. Taking everything off the table, everything out of the credenza,spraying it down, wiping them down, then putting everything back in where it belongs. It is not nearly as bad as what you named though.

Yes, that's how my mother so far has not allowed me. Maybe one day, I will try again to talk to him. Hopefully it is allowed, so I don't have to be tired of washing with my hands.
Yes, dusting is also very tedious, unless we have a vacuum cleaner.

I like boring jobs as I can do these on auto-pilot.

@astutimeliana723 it is just a term I use when I'm so familiar with things that I can do it seamlessly. Like I'm on auto-pilot.

Hehe, for me sweeping and mopping is still better, because I have to move around. I get bored if I have to stay in place. LOL

@astutimeliana723 Try one day and you will surely change your mind about this job... particularly if you give back too much and you are obliged to cover.

@sallypup No, I don't have the tools, so I have to use manual grass clippers.

I also don't like mowing the grass, because I have to squat or bend over and it makes me sore. LOL

I've heard of some laundresses cheating, not doing their jobs well. They choose clothes that look clean, then just spray perfume, fold and iron them without washing them. So that makes me not want to wash my clothes to the laundry.

Folding clothes is definitely a boring job for me. I like washing clothes, or even ironing. But not about folding..
