Mine is washing dishes.

If left to my own devices, I will let dishes collect for a week in my kitchen sink.

Fortunately, I have a dishwasher. And a wife, but she doesn't enjoy doing dishes either, but at least it's a shared misery.

Most of the things I hate, I can automate.

A dishwasher means I only have to wash knives now.

A Roomba means I only have to vacuum the corners, stairs and under the table.

Nobody really appreciates how much hand washing sucks, so I'll mention washing machines too.

Gardening sucks, but you can pick plants so that you really only have to do it once a year.

My husband does dusting and windows, because he's 40cm taller than me and I'd need a stool to do it. In return I do the mopping (with a steam mop, because the mop-bots all kinda suck)

That just leaves hanging and folding laundry, which really isn't so bad, and I don't see a machine doing that (affordably) any time soon.
