What Scenes give you most trouble?

I have major problems getting technical information across without it entering infodump territory.

Having read (and for the most part enjoyed) some hard sci-fi where infodumps make are a significant part of the book, I am very aware of trying to keep infodumps out of my work. Being a history nerd it is very easy to fall into infodumps and I am certain that were I to willingly fall into infodump territory my poor readers would be bored out of their minds.

Decision making, which isn't forced or horribly stilted is something I'm always trying to get into my writing... with limited success...
 
Exposition scenes are a bit difficult for me, which is why I try my hardest to either spread it out or leave little hints of it instead of piling it all into one scene.
