by definition and implication already pejorative - something that one does not want to do but has to do. which means that in some people's opinion, tasks such as cleaning house, or cooking, or changing nappies, are much maligned when labelled such, since clearly some are very happy to, for example, cook, not just when fancy strikes, but every day. the notion of tedium and unwillingness does not seem to plague their concerns.
likewise other activities, say driving one's car, exercise, even sex, can certainly qualify as, and for some, will decidedly be regarded as, chores of a much odious nature.
any task can be an encumbrance, i suppose.
