I always used to joke that I got into computers because I was bad at math, and wanted to tell the computer to do the math for me. Eventually I realized it wasn't a joke, and it really does piss me off to see a person have to do a computer's job-- especially on a regular basis. Of course xkcd#1319[0] still applies, and it may not always be worth it to automate, but it can make a huge daily difference in the lives of users.
