One who designs or acts in a way that obstructs others, making it difficult or impossible to do what needs to be done. Frequently uses conflict of interest to obstruct others. Also known as an asshole or duh-weeb, and most likely proud of it.
When you have to drive six blocks just to go around the corner, it's a good sign that the engineer who planned the city's one-way streets was an obstructionist.
For more examples, see bureaucracy, committee mentality, legislator, attorney, and corporation.

A fundamental concept of Bistromathematics, as described in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, "a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself". Similar to, and easily confused with the related principle by which knowing that the answer is 42 precludes knowing the question.
42 is not a recipriversexcluson, because it really is the location of Stavromula Beta. What is precluded about 42 is knowing that Stavromula Beta is the question.
Yes, I am allowed to say so. In fact it's a necessity, because every publication of Hitchhiker is required, by yet another similarly related principle, to contradict all previous publications of it.

Ramen, as we know it, is an anemically Americanized version of a Japanese rip-off a Chinese gastronomical phenomenon known as lo mein. That means that, not only are the noodles pressed into a cake and dried, but both the noodles and the sauce are also purified of all useful nutrients. It amounts to strings of bleached flour steeped in warm brine.
OK, so we're convenience addicts, but we still don't have to settle for such flavorless, salty broth and mushy noodles.
Go to an oriental food store. Don't worry that that we look like guyjiin when we walk in. It can't be helped, so don't worry about it. Buy a few packages of Mi Bo.
Mi is a southeast Asian word, equivalent to the Chinese word mein, meaning "noodle". Bo is a southeast Asian word for moo, or cow, as if in English we said "moo" instead of borrowing the word "cow" from some other language to replace our word moo. Southeast Asians go ahead and say their word for cow when they talk about what they eat, instead of borrowing the word "beef" from yet another language to replace our word cow. How sensible of them.
So you go into the oriental food store and buys some packages of cow-flavored noodles. The packages look just like ramen noodle packages, so make sure you don't buy any Americanized brands like Smack or Top. Mama and Kung Fu are good brands.
If you don't recognize any brands, check by feel, what the flavor packet is like. Good flavor packets in truly oriental "ramen" packages will feel thicker and softer because they contain two or three different kinds of seasonings: A regular flavor packet, a flavored oil packet and possibly, a spice packet.
Dump the flavoring packets into half as much water as you're used to using for ramen while it's heating so you have a nice broth that will cook flavor into the noodles when you add them. Do some taste-testing while gradually adding the spice, so you don't find the final result toxic to your taste buds. Don't add the noodles until the water boils. Keep it boiling until the noodles are done.
If you want to be authentic, don't break the noodles. Some parts of Asia use chopsticks and some don't, so that's optional.
If you prefer convenience, break the noodles small enough to fit in your soup spoon.
Lift the noodles out of the broth and place them into a bowl and garnish it generously with bean sprouts, snow peas, and/or chopped onion to suit your taste. Then pour the boiling broth over it all.
When you're ready for another adventure, go back and buy some other flavor.
