Re: Which of these things would you rather not have to do?
I don't find any of those to be particularly onerous, tbh and some of them are obviously essential and not a chore at all (eating, bathing and so).
But I don't iron stuff, so for poll purposes, I'll vote for that.

I only voted for one option, commute, because that bores me to tears. Good thread idea.
Some of these options we don't really have a choice with.

Hoover, dust, commute. The latter can be a real pain. Hoovering and dusting are troublesome - I quite like cleaning but those two are unpleasant jobs, dust flying everywhere - and it never seems complete, a lot of work for relatively small (visual) result.
Ironing is therapeutic, and many of the others bring great pleasure. I'd be interested to see if anyone would rather not go to the toilet, eat, or sleep!

I sometimes find that it is a pain to have to sleep when I have books to read, music to make or listen to and so on.

Iron...if I could have voted for it 3 times I would have...I LOATHE ironing with a passion.

I commute on a motorbike, it's fun.

Certainly beats standing around on a platform because of the inevitable, endless delays.

Commuting's great- taking the train every day- gives me a chance to catch up on music and reading.
Not fond of ironing, not good at it too. Don't mind hoovering, I view it as a form of stretching-exercise.
Cleaning the bathroom can be a bitch though.

Re: Which of these things would you rather not have to do?
I assume that picking something would mean that, in this hypothetical fantasy world, things would be perfect without doing it. So, for instance, you pick sleep and you're just perfectly rested all the time; you pick commuting and you only have to walk down the road to get to work in the morning. In which case...
1. Ironing. I'm crap at it, yet I don't like creased clothes. To have crisp clothes for no effort would be magic.
2. Cleaning the bathroom. For obvious reasons, surely.
3. Haircuts. I don't particularly enjoy going to the barbers - can be alright, depending on how safe the barber is, but I always have an instinctive distrust ahead of going. Plus, if I could keep my hair and beard at a particular length all the time, I would. There's an optimum and I only ever let it stray from that out of not wanting to constantly go to the barbers!

Ironing
Wearing glasses
Shaving
Cleaning the bathroom is a pet hate as well along with making the bed.

I think I might be alone in saying that I find watching a man shave quite sexy...especially if they have only a towel wrapped around their waist whilst they're doing it.

The human body is ridiculous! If it were a car it would be a fucking Trabant.

all of them. i'd like to wake up fresh and naturally beautiful every morning, not have to work and have someone else do all the chores.
i wasn't born to live like this.

The poll assumes we already do all those things already.
