What things are both the best and the worst at the same time?

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.

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.
