What, if anything, are you actually OBLIGATED to do (aside from paying taxes, trying to obey the law kinds of answers) that you find objectionable? Are there any you enjoy?
I obligate myself to be a good example to my sons and their families. Sometimes I don't want to be the good example! Sometimes I just want to throw caution to the wind, and hope the wind is blowing in the opposite direction!

Yesterday my daughter made a substantial payment on an upcoming obligation I had. She is always doing things such as this just because she is a very giving person (and can afford it). I am obligated to be grateful and thankful, but would rather tell her to stop showering me with gifts as it makes me feel I need to reciprocate in kind.

The only obligation that I find objectionable (more accurately uncomfortable) is to socialize with people with whom I have nothing in common. I'm not very good at small talk. I refer to it as "talking about nothing" and I don't like it.
I might mention something about our local businesses....they know nothing about it. I might mention something about hockey or golf....they know nothing about it. I might mention something about taking courses at our senior center or happenings at city hall....they know nothing about it. I might mention something about reading, working out, eating healthy, walking, doing volunteer work....ditto! (Okay, I give up. I want to go now.) lol
