Most difficult thing to animate?

Just looking for personal anecdotes out of curiosity. Mine are, in order:

1. fingers and grabs
2. turning from back to side (either head or body or both)
3. walks or runs from different angles (hi, low, etc)

Anybody have any other tough moves that they dread or avoid?

Really not fond of walking or running either. It tends to come out looking more like ice skating. I haven't played around with bone locking, but that may help.

Oh yes definitely dancing! :D
Spiders and crabs.
I've had to animate juggling a couple of times and that's been difficult. I've never been really happy with it.
