Cleaning up around the house -- yeah, that's for the birds. Some of you crazies actually love to do household chores.

Most of us are not insane.

We posed a query on our social media channels that read as follows:

If you could pay someone to do one household chore for you so you would never have to do it again, what chore would you hire them for? 

As you can probably guess, the more down and dirty the chore, the more many of us don't want to do it.

We'll get to your top 10 list in a bit, but first, let's take a look at what kind of activities (that we really don't want to do) that keep us busy around the house the most.

According to a survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans were asked about the time spent doing household activities.

All total, respondents said they spend an average of just under two hours a day doing "all household activities." But in particular, here are the chores that take up the most time per day (in hours):

  • Food preparation and cleanup - 0.65
  • Interior cleaning - 0.37
  • Laundry - 0.18
  • Lawn and garden care - 0.17
  • Household management - 0.13
  • Interior maintenance, repair, and decoration - 0.06
  • Exterior maintenance, repair, and decoration - 0.06

Of course, this is just an average per day over seven days of maintaining a household. So, 14 hours a week sounds about right.

When it comes to our non-scientific survey of hard-working people of Acadiana, here are the top 10 chores that we wish we would never have to do again and could simply hire someone to do.
