What's been said and shopping for bike shoes. Why are they all so ugly?
Cleaning the oven.
Switch it to Pyrolytic, leave to simmer, come back later and sweep the ash out 8)
I hate changing our whole-house water filters; scrabbling at the back of a kitchen corner cupboard, always spills water, silicone grease, pah!
Anal glands.
Cleaning Venetian blinds, terrible job. On the other hand, if it wasn't for blinds it would be curtains for us all 🙂

Cleaning the oven. Especially when you always put it off so its a once yearly job. Horrible chemicals, newspaper on the floor, gloves, dripping mankiness, racks won't fit in the sink, and if you turn it on so the light works, the fan blows the sticking fumes into your face...
Still depends on the car and how it’s designed; my Octavia light units just need a plastic cover removed, the bulb swapped over, cover replaced, takes a couple of minutes.
My old Puma, on the other hand, required a large Torq wrench to undo the bolts holding the grill in place and headlamp retaining straps in place, then removing the grill, drain tubes from the light unit, and wiring, then a ridiculous amount of time wiggling the entire light unit out of the car, take apart the unit swap bulb, reverse process, meaning roughly forty-five minutes to change a sidelight bulb!
My current car's a Fabia, must be a Skoda thing like the little tab for car park tickets 😀
Top tip: Halfords.Buy bulbs or wiper blades and a spotty teenager will fit it for you for an extra couple of quid.
I used to do that [i]waaay[/i] back when they first introduced it. Didn't take long for them to issue a big blue book with a list of every car and what jobs you could and could not do. I remember one car had the instructions for replacing an indicator bulb, the second line was 'remove the engine mount!'. We weren't allowed to change wiper blades on a Chrysler Voyager, turns out they are clipped on as usual but you then have to crimp the fitting to stop them falling out, all due to the blades being curved for some odd reason.
Cleaning dog egg from the soles of shoes. Why is it you always step in it wearing your shoes with the most intricate treads?

+1 for oven cleaning.
I'll add pretty much anything involving caring for my daughter's rabbits. Needless to say, the regular cage cleaning falls to me, cue me standing in the garden hosing and scrubbing at 9 o'clock at night. They're pretty ripe by two days post-cleaning and ****ing rancid by day three.
Seriously, if you ever feel that your life has become a bit anodyne and predictable, buy a pair of house rabbits. You'll be clinging to the ragged edge of your sanity in no time.
