The commute. It only takes about 30-35 minutes one way, but both there and back is taking your life into your hands. Or, more aptly, putting your life in the hands of the drooling, dain-bramaged masses out there that are - for some unknown reason - considered functional enough to drive a couple tons of metal around other living beings.
People are stupid. People in cars are even more stupid. Mr. Walker and Mr. Wheeler anyone? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_Mania)
You know... it's taken me the better part of 45 minutes to try to answer this.
To be blunt, I don't have a part of my daily routine I dislike. It's all routine... It's gotta get done, so it gets done. This isn't something I think about, or consider, liking or disliking.
Routine is just routine. I do it by rote and don't give it a second thought.
Cleaning, 70-80% of which are not my own messes - only so I can do it all again the next day. I don't get weekends off, and very little aid from the other occupants. (Actually, they take everything I do for granted, since I'm essentially the live-in 'help'. They don't pay me, either. Bastards, all of them. Afterall, why do a damn thing when you can wait and let the OCD neat nut do it for you for free?)
One day I will have enough measure of wealth that I'll never have to clean anything ever again -- and someone can clean up after my ass for a change. Twenty years of service and counting... if I don't get a chance to retire after another five, I'm gonna be pissed.
showering, and the hair drying after. I *know* it needs to be done, but such a repetitive waste of time, cause it needs to be done every...freekin...day. Eating has to be done all the time too, but at least there's variety in that :-P
getting out of the shower. i used to be able to shower and everything in five minutes. now i spend ten convincing myself that i have to leave the shower. then there's the 45-minute daily "don't call in sick to work" argument with myself. that's rather tedious.
Wakeing up and staying that way. Then there's wrestleing my medicines that I take every morning. That's 9 bottles to open, remove pill, close bottlea, put the bottles away in my own anal rententive lables faceing out properly and set in oreder to be ataken order, once all the pills are out, get a drink, take the pills, fight wakeing up the kids, fighting them to get moving, dressed, book bags backed up, brushed hair and teeth, leave each other the hell alone, helping them decide what clothes to wear, get the Dude's shoes on and buckled or tied, etc.... I hate hate HATE mornings. Except on the days I really like them.

That's the main reason why I want to destroy civilization: so I never have to shave again.
