Somethings can be hassle (una molestia): legal hassles (problemas legales) bureaucratic hassles (las molestias burocráticas), and tax returns (declaraciones fiscales) are a hassle.
Somethings might be “no hassle” (no hay problema) and sometimes doing something is “not worth the hassle (no vale la pena), that is not worth the effort.
