Having a complex password that I use for everything allows it to be nonsensical. Mine is actually based off of a phrase (an idea inspired by XKCD) but the words have some dropped characters and it includes a name (so instead of correcthorsebatterystaple, think crrctChampbttrystple). I avoid making the simple password actual words as well, but it's simple enough that if I want to use the password at work but store it at home, I can memorize it easily for a day. I agree that we've hit peak ridiculousness though.
