The problem for me is in properly estimating the time it will take to automate a particular task. I often underestimate the time it takes to do it well enough to cover all the cases I would handle intuitively. Usually though I never regret it - once it is done. But at the time putting a day or two dent in my schedule makes me pretty cross.
