    This one might seem to be a bit silly, but for the last few years I’ve made my girlfriend’s breakfast every day and she’s packed my lunch.

    She has a hard time getting up, so it helps her to have a fresh coffee and whatnot ready for her. She in turn makes my sandwich for lunch because even though I like eating it, I don’t like touching the lunch meat.

    So while we’re doing the same amount of work, we’re doing a job for each other that the other doesn’t really enjoy. It also irrationality suggests tastes better, because it was made with the other person in mind, not as a chore we have to do for ourselves.
