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?

    The Internet

    On the positive side, it allows you to contact people that you would have never interacted with otherwise

    On the negative side, it allows people to contact you that you never would have interacted with otherwise

    I love and hate sleep. Sleep feels good in the morning but trying to motivate myself to go to sleep is a challenge

    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

    Pooping: one the one hand it feels pretty great. The sensation itself is nice as well as the relief. On the other hand, now you’ve got poop on your butthole that’s got to go.

      Interesting, would you mind elaborating a bit? What do you see as the good parts? What do you see as the bad parts?

        Not OP but: you have to eat but most of the best foods make you fat or are bad for you in some other way.

        When you’re hungry food is delicious and if it’s hard to get at your body won’t let up about it.

        But, when you eat ordinary food it complains about a lack of quality or taste.

        And then when you eat great food it stops talking about the sensation after a single dish. (There’s some professional point taste reaches where it’s too long and it just stops being great).

        Heckin long drama story!

          Thanks for explaining. Hadn’t actually thought about it until you said it, and now I can’t stop thinking about it.

          I love everything about food, and I love all food. Cheap food, expensive food, fast food, food I prepared myself, all cuisines. All food is amazing to me. I plan my vacations around how many meals I can eat and how many places I want to try. I want to travel the world and eat every food.

          Except now I’m trying to lose weight, and food is my enemy. Portion control is so hard. 😭 Though I find it’s much easier when I prepare food at home.

    The cheap sugar donuts at grocery stores that scratch my throat just right. Sugar donuts from coffee shops that are higher quality aren’t as good.

    So…sex on an SSRI.

    Pro: I can effortlessly last over an hour. Basically edging without trying.

    Con: It’s simply impossible to finish sometimes and I just have to say it was good enough and stop. Or the mix of chemicals in my brain just don’t let me start for whatever reason. The times I can finish, I have to take over and go extra intense on myself to peak the mountain. If my partner tries, they can’t get me there.
