Most chores are unpleasant - it's pretty much the definition. But what jobs have you had to do that are thoroughly unpleasant?
By "had to do" I mean they fall upon you as the person responsible for doing it and you can't justify the cost or get anybody else to help.
We have an old freezer in the garage which I use to store bulk ordered meat from the butcher. I noticed a grim smell in the garage yesterday and on further investigation discovered the freezer had thawed out and the meat has started to rot. No flies fortunately, but it absolutely stinks. My task is to empty it into bags and then into my trailer so I can take it to the local dump. I'm probably going to vomit at some point. Why couldn't this have happened in winter when the garage was probably cold enough to keep it from stinking?

We have a lower ground floor, in which there is a bog which has a sanipump attached to it, to pump waste upto ground level.
Couple of days after we moved in, it bust. So I dismantled it and cleaned it out. WIth a hosepipe. Still bust, and then I replaced it form an eyewatering amount of money.
That was a truly shit job
My feedback thread is here.
The same day my wife came home with our new baby daughter and I had to explain what had happened to her dog while she'd been in hospital. Unpleasant on so many levels.
So, to those AIing cows regularly, you have my sympathies.
The deed is done. I tied a cloth around my nose and mouth then removed the freezer trays onto the driveway. There was a lot of liquid slushing around. Flies were there within seconds and the stench was horrendous. I dumped everything into those heavy duty garden refuse sacks, twisted them tightly and put them in my trailer. The chaps at the tip didn't even raise an eyebrow at the smell, it was already pretty grim next to the household waste skip.
Worst bit was the vacuum packed trays which were now all floppy with fluid and gas. A whole chicken had blown up inside the bag like a balloon, and it weighed almost nothing. I even struggle to get it into the bag because it was so floppy.
Then I had to dispose of the fluids. There must have been a couple of litres of blood and goo. I decided to dig a deep hole in a scrubby area of my garden which we'll be converting to a driveway in the near future. Once the hole was deep I poured the slush into it, covered with the loose soil and watered it down to try and lock in the smell. I just have to finish cleaning up the freezer a bit to get rid of the smell in the short term. Long term it's obviously getting chucked away but I need to find a chance to move it out.
I've rinsed the trailer down but also need to clean my driveway which still smells a bit bad.
Our new neighbours moved in today. They haven't met my wife yet, so probably think I was disposing of her body! On which point, I don't think I'll ever bother killing someone because the body disposal is just too disgusting.
Somehow I managed to calm her down while clearing the mess up, and her, without adding double my body weight in puke but that kinda scene stays with you.

I've done the exact same thing, getting rid of an old chest freezer which died in the garage with a load of meat and stuff in it.
We took the freezer, once emptied and cleaned up a bit, to the tip in the back of my dad's old Cortina estate. I'm not sure the council rubbish tip would accept something like that nowadays?

Did you drive away sharpish before they opened it?
It's not the shitty end so shouldn't be an unpleasant job, but someone had obviously been putting toilet cleaner in the cistern for decades.... Two by two my hands were dyed blue. and stunk like a public toilet for a few hours afterwards
