I had a discussion with a friend recently and during that discussion, one comment was "Fitted sheets are really both the best and the worst", of course referencing them as awesome when put on a mattress and the worst when you're trying to fold them.

What else do we have that would qualify for being awesome, but also the worst in a different context?

Genitals. Both male and female. (Generally) awesome when in use but a maintenance nightmare otherwise. Reasons for being the worse (some depending on gender) include: initiating takeoff visibly and without reason, leakages, being very fragile, requiring more packaging than any other body part and others

Can make humans; also hurts like hell for no apparently functional reason every month.

Funny thing I heard is that it's like a punishment for not getting pregnant (by the body). Post pregnancy my wife said she had periods but without the pain, like the body was saying 'I'm happy for now.'

Well, I sure am happy I put the nsfw tag on this post now. Thanks for the awesome reply.

I was just going to say a blowjob with pop rocks, so yeah, his reply had more thought behind it.

All fun 'n games till ya pop!

To be fair it was the NSFW tag that gave me the idea. I went "why would this have an NSFW tag? .... Ooooh!"

Not to mention how much more cleaning they need compared to, say, the legs and arms.
