I think context is important. If it's a bank password, I don't mind coming up with something complex. If it's for something that requires me to have an account, but I don't care at all whether or not someone else gains access to the account, I have no problem using a much simpler password and would be rather annoyed if I had to do something more complex.

Then you might as well do the RMS thing and set your password to be blank :). Passwords are currently a necessary evil. My hope is that we will ditch them sooner or later. For now, use a password manager to prevent really bad things that will result from what you are doing.
