Pharmacy, especially the compounding pharmacy that has no drive thru. I have to lug everyone in, get caught behind some old that is confused about something, people are hacking, there is confusion over multiple insurances or one med isn't ready.
Dropping amazon returns at fed ex. It takes 3 seconds. But the way the parking lot is and the store, I can't see anything. If my oldest is with me I will send her in; but if not I have to lug everyone in.
Gas. I hate pumping gas and usually my husband fills my car up for me, but when I have to do it myself...ugh. I really don't have a reason why, I just can't stand it.
Oh this one is awful too! H always fusses because I never have gas. I just hate stopping.

Oh my god, yes to the post office, the ups store...any place that requires me to carry large packages, stand in a long line, and keep my children near me with only my words. I love so much that you can now pay for print postage at home and send stuff off with your home mail carrier.
OMG the post office. I avoid the post office at all costs. I also dislike last minute shopping for that thing I need for dinner but forgot on my normal shopping trip.

Grocery delivery service has changed my life. I will gladly pay for any service that means someone brings stuff to my door instead of me having to cart two kids around.

Get out of here with your fancy pants grocery delivery. We don't have such things our here in the ninth circle of hell.

I just might make this my cause, to fight for grocery delivery service for all the people. If you ever relocate, make whether or not they have grocery delivery your #1 requirement.

Pharmacy. Or really any errand where I have both kids and I cannot contain at least one in a cart. I actually don't mind the grocery store, but my MIL works at ours and will take her break if she sees the boys in the store and let them have a snack in the store break room. Only downside is when I have to push the freaking car cart with no kids in it and look like a psycho.
I love my oil change place. It's a 2 car place, very open with a big window to the payment/waiting area inside. I don't even get my kids out. We sit in the van while they change the pil, I pop in, pay and we're out in 15 minutes tops. It rarely takes more than 10.
I don't mind most errands if my kids aren't in crappy moods. Then every errand is the most annoying.
Pretty much anything that involves taking all three kids in and out of the car in cold and rainy weather. It only happens for a short time here, but I loathe it.
lattelady5 I explained to dh last night that I would rather take both kids for a 2 hour car repair than stand in line at the post office. After the last car appointment I called him from, he could hear the kids in the background and called me a saint. I don't think he will ever send me to the post office with his packages again. It got even better when I realized one was USP, not USPS. Off to another line. It was awesome.
Grocery shopping is quickly falling off my list of things I like doing. Yesterday dd1 grabbed a tube of sunscreen and proceeded to squirt it all over her hands and wipe it on her shirt. I was so mad. Confession: I told her I was making her pay for it by taking it out of her Sunday School money. She understands she gets a dollar to put in the basket and I told her I get to keep it for 3 weeks to pay for it. Sacrilegious maybe, but she understands. (This wasn't her first offense, last week she squirted hand sanitizer out of those little travel bottles by the check out.)
