"I would rather [unpleasant task] than [other unpleasant task]" (TMI possible)

In My Humble Opinion
1

Inspired by the chores you loathe thread. Complete the title sentence: what unpleasant things would YOU rather do?

As for me, I would rather get a pap smear than go to the dentist. I realize that YMMV, in that there are many insensitive gynecologists who make exams a living hell, but I get all mine done at Planned Parenthood, and the lady who did my last one was awesome. She distracted me by talking about other things, was very gentle and concerned for my well-being, and I didn’t even have to put my feet in stirrups (they were placed flat on a platform that slid out from the actual exam table). My dentist is good, and does the best she can, but it’s always a more uncomfortable experience.

Also, the pap took something like two minutes, whereas a cleaning at the dentist typically takes an interminable period of time. Perhaps I’ll feel differently if I ever do sedation dentistry, or get a really crappy gynecologist, but for now, that’s my answer.
