I know EXACTLY what you are referring to.

A sewing machine that "needs" to be used, but drives me f-ing crazy because I have to come over and thread it and listen to my mother rant, scream about the bobbin, and then I have to put the damn thing away.

I think I'd rather have a root canal without anesthesia than hear the dreaded words "I need to hem your daddy's pants."
