What household duty do you hate the most?
I loath loading and unloading the dishwasher. It's dreary work IMO...and monotonous...

to my husband when he retired and I didn't? Actually, no, it was doing the dishes. Only one of him, pretty reliable aim, and he spends a lot of time outside.
My thoughts are with you also. 
But for routine chores, I think it's folding laundry and putting clothes away. Same reasons, in two tedious stages.
Boy, I really do have a hard life. 
The sacrifices we make to keep our feline loved ones in comfort. I currently have an adult Siamese along with two kittens. The Siamese gets an attitude when the litter box is dirty and he will start peeing everywhere to express his dissatisfaction with his subordinate human. He even filed a grievance in LOLCatese with his paw print at the bottom of the letter.
It was supposed to say "sweeping", of course, but sometimes I feel like weeping instead!
in housework that others I knew did. I had some moments of smiling at piles of clean, folded clothes and linens, but just didn't stick.
I ultimately took far more satisfaction in tossing out the matching spice jars I admired in my friends' kitchens but couldn't be bothered to keep filled. Anyway, I like my varied tins and bottles from all over.
And later still I finally had a stroke of real good sense and got rid of everything in the kitchen that couldn't just get thrown in the dishwasher, including decorative items, only exception one oil painting that didn't get replaced by something ceramic. And I eye it now and then. Besides that, the only survivors are special sets of holiday/party tableware that rarely get brought up from the basement. I still brag about this brilliance, but not about how many decades it took to hit.
not "wry-dom."
no one needs more than 3 cooking spoons, or would it be 2? Hard to imagine.
Now me, I seldom bake, but I recently learned that I need some cake pan strips for when I do get inspired to make a cake because they'll cause it to bake more evenly, seemingly significant for some recipes. Who knew? No prob, though. They'll join our Santa Claus cookie jar and the giant pot I use for steaming tamales every five years or so in my basement pantry.
The giant-sized steamer, a couple sauce pans, and the really big crockpot, plus enough place settings for when company comes, or especially around the holidays when the whole extended family (usually around 14 to 16 strong) descends on me from out of town. But those are special occasion things. I keep telling myself I should just get plastic sporks and paper plates for company, but I can't quite bring myself to do it. 
paper and plastic might come after the party? 
We have newly married friends making their latest huge, adventurous adjustments in their 60s and 70s. He loves cloth napkins, for both their daily dining (he's very romantic) and for their frequent entertaining. She has a very different point of view. Of course we know which one remembers washing and ironing them in her past life.
someone gave me that tip at work
be careful if your bathroom is small - spray that stuff and get out, don't let children or pets go in while it's doing its magic 
But hand washing dishes is hard on my skin.
