You can just about do it by finger tips then you end up taking the battery out to retrieve various bulbs and screws.
Routing new outer cable on my Liteville...
Resealing the shower tray and bath with silicone. Argh.

Getting the CSU into the lowers without:
Pincing the edges of the seals
Going in on the wonk so one is in, one isn't, but there's no way to get the second in witout removing the first.
Oh and once, getting them in to discover you've gone in backwards.
Rebuilding lawnmower pull starters.
Boing
P-jay, been there, only noticed after fitting them to the bike!
Year-end accounts. VAT returns. Stuff like that.
While I sort of agree as there's always something to tidy up - doesn't you accounts system do your VAT for you?
Changing the duvet cover...
Outdoor gloss painting. Fricking hell.
Getting the hair out of the bath plughole - yuk!
Silicone seal jobs were a hated thing. Then I bought some really expensive sealant, stuff that was £13 a tube, on the advice of a builder mate. Was easier and cleaner to apply, and has not changed, or needed redoing after about 3 years.
Certainly proves that old adage of buy cheap buy twice.

Well, yes, but you've got to get all the data into the accounts system first.
You've seen Black Books?
Try white spirit for your smoothing your sealant rather than spit or water.
Try water based exterior gloss( price warning £50 for 2.5l) its a game changer.
I'm going so changing pedals as my most annoying job, should be easy but always seems to end up with some swearing.
Changing the inside bearing on a DT Swiss 240. It lasts for ages so by the time you actually need to replace it, it's stuck. Totally worth it considering how good the hubs are but it's still a pain in the cock.
The solution for olives and steel braided hoses is to use proper kevlar braided hoses, they're easy to fit olives on, and they're lighter. They just don't look as obviously different to plastic ones.
Housework.
Getting the hair out of the bath plughole - yuk!
That's an every day occurrence in the house of Funk. My job, yet I'm the only bald one.
Re: Shower tray. I used to hate that job then I found this stuff and haven't done it for years
Cleaning the oven. I get around it by paying a man to come round and do it for me 😀

^ That. There's no real difference in performance, it's all looks. I prefer the black hoses anyway!
They just don't look as obviously different to plastic ones.
But then no-one would know that I had braided hose, and what would be the point of that!
But just think, fit kevlar braids and you get to sneer at foolish people for fitting stainless! Come join me in my cult
Cleaning gutters, always have Rod Hull in mind..
I thought Rod Hulls demise was related to a TV aerial?
Bleeding brakes is my least favorite bike job.
Painting ceilings in civvy life
Tomorrow's job , golf mk4 one door lock and one window regulator to replace. On different doors.
I hate trim removal jobs
Yep, famous last words "Emu, hold this ladder".
Unblocking the washing machine because some bugger has left all sorts of crap in their pockets again despite being told what an absolute pain in the arrrse it is to sort out. Pretty sure that hell will involve long drawn out repetitions of this job while being forced to listen to Theresa May admitting to her fields of wheat incident
