Exercise you dread most.

Treadmill running.

i'll put in a minor vote for bench press too. it doesn't come near the level of hate i feel for lunges, or even squats. but it's way up there on my what's-even-the-point list.

for me, all that happens when you bench press is: you bench press, and then for three days your boobs hurt. and then for a couple of days they don't hurt, and then it's time to do bench press again.

I do not do any form of exercise I hate, there are always alternatives. I never liked for example squats. There are periods where I find them tolerable, but most of the time, I replace them with other exercises.
I also hate stationary bikes (I actually do not like much bikes in general), so I walk/run/swim.

Squats!!!!!

burpees and overhead press.

Have finally upped the overhead press consistently to 15kg! come on! 15kg! my brain tells me that is nothing cos I leg press 80kg.

I know, smaller muscle group, but come on shoulders! pull it together! haha

I don't hate OHP but so feel your pain, it's by far my worse lift and although I'm making progress it's very slow progress. Have you thought of getting some fractional plates, my children bought me some for Christmas, a set of 0.25kg and a set of 0.5kg. Means you can up the weight just 0.5kg at a time instead of 2.5kg.

Currently I use the machines in the gym rather than free weights (keep meaning to start and then stuff happens like too many people in the gym/mate not free to coach/spot etc) and go up by 5kg each time. But there is a 2.5kg option which I may try next time.

Anything single legged. I hate lunges and step ups and my current programme has gone and combined them!

1- Running... hate it... but I do it once a week anyway
2- Planks... pure torture
3- Dead lifts... so beneficial but yet so undesirable
4- Barbell Squats... by far the most intimating of all the exercises I've done.

burpees
