For me the biggest complaint I usually have is keeping the yard mowed and weeded on a regular basis. It's a fairly big yard and I have mild grass allergies, so it's unpleasant every time. But it's worse if I procrastinate doing it and then have to really hack through it later.

Though it can also be annoying when you think you've got everything under control for once and then suddenly you get a bad storm and the roof springs a leak or the basement floods. Especially if you've got other stuff going on and are too busy to really want to deal with it, but you have to anyway because ignoring stuff like that only makes everything worse.

I got to a point where I just pay some guy in the neighborhood to cut my grass. My yard isn't huge, but it is an old property with older trees, so the ground tends to be rougher than yards in more modern houses.

So far I've had to replace a roof, the windows and the furnace/AC unit. Only 'major' thing left is the siding at this point. (knock on copious wood)
