Frequently, when I discover some mundane simple household task that has been ignored and left undone, I think to myself, "apparently, I'm the only one at my house who knows how to (insert task here)."

Today, I was the only one who knows how to change lightbulbs (husband's bathroom -- three were out!) and change the toilet paper roll (daughter's bathroom).

What are the things for which my fellow GC'ers are the only ones with a special skill set?

My boyfriend's the only one in our house who knows how to change lightbulbs. :-/ Well, I know how, but even with a stepladder, I can't reach the ceiling. Sometimes I wonder if I had him move in solely because the house was getting too dark...

For me, vacuuming and scooping litter boxes.

I'm the only person at my house who knows how to put dishes in the dishwasher & hand-wash pots/pans/coffee tumblers.

I'm also the only person in my house who knows how to light a candle.

Laundry
Dog's medications
Picking up the mail

clean the litter box

But, get down with your bad self!

NEXT TO THE COMMODE!! Obviously, these things don't fix or clean themselves!!

Well, my wife would tell you that I think I'm the only one who knows how to load a dishwasher, which is why I come behind her or others and re-load it, or at best fight the urge.

I re-load the dishwasher because I'm apparently the only person in the who actually knows how to load a dishwasher. ;)

I also seem to be the only one who knows how to take the recycling out when the bin is overflowing.
