Question & Answers

Oklahoma Firefighter asked last issue’s readers this question: What chore do you absolutely hate doing?

Here is what they said:

w Richelle Treece, Bethel Acres: I’d have to say the goofy spin dial you have to use on the Lifepack to enter demographics. Never fails I spell something wrong and have to go back.

w Eldon Henderson, Ret. Enid: Painting my house. Preparing the surfaces, continually moving the ladders, and cleaning the brushes and rollers.

w Jeremy Goodrich, Yukon: Dusting … Damn, I hate that and so do my allergies.

w Michael Pettey, Fort Supply: Cleaning the bathroom.

w Tim Dorsch, Fairmont: Meeting the deadline for submitting an Oklahoma Firefighter article -- not the article itself, just meeting the deadline!

w Tony Lopez, Midwest City: The chores I dislike the most are dishes and laundry.

w Bre Horn, Marshall: I would have to say cleaning up the dog pen is my least favorite chore.

w Tom Marcum, Ret. Mooreland: Weed eating. It’s just a necessary evil.

w Bryan West, OSU-FST: Cleaning! However, I know it must be done.

w Kendall Wiliams, Tulsa: ABSOLUTELY 100% DISHES. I don’t know if I could hate anything more. Even though we hand wash everything at the station, at home, I literally try to fit everything in the dishwasher. I can’t go to bed with dishes left in the sink because it bugs me, so I just cram them all in the dishwasher!

w Darren Alexander, Cedar Country: Hose washing. And cleaning toilets.

w Mike “Rookie” Billingsley, Ret. Nichols Hills: Kitchen clean up!

w Eric Carranza, Springer: I absolutely hate doing all chores, but it is not the fact that I don’t like one particular thing. It’s the fact that I get cleaning ADD and I bounce from one thing to another, and the first thing I started on doesn’t get completely finished because I do 10 other things I see along the way. My wife calls it “there goes a rabbit syndrome.”

w Greg Lindsay, OKC: The chore I hate doing the most is the one I have to do when there is another that I want to do.

w Haley Thompson, OSFA Women’s Auxiliary: The chore that I hate doing is definitely dishes. They are the worst and they don’t ever stop!

w Donnie Bennett, OKC: Folding clothes! The washing part of the laundry process is easy, but the folding and putting them away portion can be a challenge.
