Object Oriented Programming

As a novice programmer and as someone who started learning programming with C, OOP just seems annoying to me. Seems as though it's easier to accomplish the same tasks without it. Is it actually necessary to learn it?

The examples are contrived to avoid distracting complexity. Real-world object use is always partly to hide some greater complexity, so to give and explain a genuine example would involve presenting a volume of incidental junk that just gets in the way. Try coming up with your own example and you'll see what I mean. (Or: prove me wrong--that would be cool.)
