What things are both the best and the worst at the same time? (infosec.pub)

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?

Having a job

Also, being unemployed.

Personally I found being unemployed was way, way worse

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Being unemployed is fine, it's more the whole 'lack of income' thing that sucks, and it's just a shame the two are so often connected.

I agree. But it still fits in the category. Can't beat being able to run errands at any time during the day or sleeping until midday the whole week. Too bad it comes with financial and psychological stress and anxiety

It is. The hardest job is trying to find a job.
