Dishes. I would absolutely cook even more. We do not have a full dishwasher, just a tiny one. I would use cast iron even more often as well. We have a ton of dishes as it is.
When I did have a full sized dishwasher, it wasn't as bad, although you still cannot put a lot in there.

Or, or, or... truly least favorite is anything crawlspace related. Guess it's a toss-up between the crawlspace and the dishes.

This is not including garden chores, of course. Such as weeding

That's a hard question.  Milking cows, weeding, dishes, gathering firewood and laundry are all great ones.  It's too hard to pick.

Maybe dishes, I to would cook more and be more creative with cooking if dishes weren't a thing.  We have no dish washer -- I'm the primary dishwasher.  But in return I don't have to milk as much.

DISHES! I could handle any other chore better if I didn't have dishes hanging over my head.

Laundry, Id love if the cleaning gnomes would just make fresh folded clothes appear in my drawers. We have been doing our laundry by hand for the last 2 years and it isn't for the faint of heart. I think we have two baskets a day with our house hold. And the gosh darn rain has forced all the drying to be done indoors.

Dishes…

I used to enjoy cooking, but after raising kids with major food sensitivities as a single mum(AU spelling 😉) that became less fun as well…

And as I had two ‘dishwashers’, but both of which were permanently broken (ie. my sons), dishes were always the end of day tedious chore!

+1 for dishes. Even though we have a dishwasher for the crockery, I don't like to put most of my cookware in there. I do like cooking, but apparently the job isn't done until the dishes are clean....
I can ignore most chores for quite a long time, but eventually I run out of pans.

Finding these comments interesting!

I have little problem with dishes (do by hand), laundry, toilet cleaning, or cooking..... but can't STAND floor/furniture/wall&window cleaning!  With increasing age, just even worse what with chasing dust bunnies under beds and bookcases.... grrrr.

No contest. . .dusting.  I was advised early on that as a new handspinner (of yarns) that the first rule was "thou shalt not touch dust"  reason being that once it's been touched and there are fingerprints, something has to be done about it, eating into spinning time.  Boo, hiss. . .

Asking or telling my husband or children to do *anything* is the worst chore

Our solution to that was to have the poorest indoor lighting in the county!   :-)

My grandmother's furniture all had crochet doily so she did not have to dust.
