Friction has a nasty habit of wearing away surfaces. It can seize up engines if there is no lupricant. It can wear away your clothing and scrape away skin if you fall off your bike. It can cause a burn if when you hands slip while trying to hold a rope. Though friction can cause much trouble we also need it.
