What's the most 'obnoxious' task you've had to do in a video game?

Like Right now I'm playing Pokemon Legends ZA, I want to be done with the living dex (A living dex is having one of every pokemon in game, including evolution stages) but there's one factor of the DLC stopping me. Special Scans for the Wormhole Mechanic. Basically to even be able to scan for one of these special Zones you have to farm for 'points' to be able to run a scan. This is endgame content designed to be 'repeated' but it's very grindy. On it's own it's harmless, but combined with all the things that make it what it is, it's very obnoxious.

I found Mario to be pretty annoying.

I am not sure which was the worst, but I am sure it was something about having to rapidly hit a bunch of keys to make something work.

I am reminded of an old coin op game, where hitting the button rapidly meany your character would run faster...that became grueling in time. And another that had a track ball that would pinch you skin at times.

The task that made me give up on Dead Space was a slide down a hill where it was like, run, duck, jump, fire a grapnel, duck, slide, jump, move left, hold your breath....

I just dont want to have to remember so many keyboard commands anymore. Give me simple stuff. Run, jump, shoot...that's enough.
