The Anarchic Governments Paradox is the idea that the governments/nations/violent monopolies of the world, exist within their own anarchy - while governments proclaim themselves as the heroes who have defeated the evils of anarchy, they themselves live within it.
Jessie's love life is as messed up as the Anarchic Governments Paradox.
True dat.

Arriving in a waiting room to find worthwhile reading material, only to be interrupted shortly after when your appointment is running unusually on time.
Did you see Jay Leno's new street rod in the latest Wheels magazine?
No, I didn't get up to that part. Dentist was running on time. Damn waiting room paradox.

derived from the frustrations of Hannah and Kristin, two first year college students living in the dorms and surviving on bland dorm food and the popular Easy Mac by Kraft foods.
Refers to the frustrating situation one encounters when attempting to satisfy hunger and craving with the Easy Mac snack.
The Paradox: One can eat one packet of Kraft Easy Mac and still be a little bit hungry and craving more of the cheesy and delightful snack, yet if one prepares two packets in hopes of avoiding this hunger and craving at the end of his snack, he finds himself fully overwhelmed by the cheesiness of the snack that the craving seemingly dwindles even before one packet has been devoured.
Either be left wanting more. Or disgusted too soon. You just can't win with the Easy.

The phenomenon of a celebrity, most notably Weird Al Yankovic, who grows more popular the geekier he gets.
Another example would be Seth Green who is/was a co-star on geek shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Family Guy and went on to co-creating and participating in Robot Chicken, one of the geekiest shows in human history, while becoming in many people's eyes cooler and cooler.
Weird Al's song and video for White and Nerdy were both extremely popular but also chock full of geek references, it's quite the Weird Al Paradox.

When your bladder is empty until you are in a situation where you cannot use the restroom at which point your bladder is so full you have to urinate worse than you ever have. Also applies to getting comfortable in bed.
Didn't have to pee until I got a mile down the road and the empty bladder paradox hit me and I felt like I was gonna pee my pants.
Got hit with the empty bladder paradox as soon as I got comfortable in bed.
If you carry in multiple bags or packages from your car to your house your motivation is that you’re too lazy to make multiple trips but if you carry fewer bags or packages and make multiple trips your motivation is that you are too lazy to carry everything at once. They are opposite solutions both motivated by laziness.
Frankie was too tired to make more than one trip from Christmas shopping and decided to pile up everything and brin it in at once while Erin was too tired to grab everything and took things in one at a time fulfilling spinelli’s Package paradox
For those that blame a person's influence, other than someone's own intuition, on a 'perceived enemy,' hold that conflict personally within. Where the claimant only sees something familiar to loathe/attack/hate when the influence or its premise is actually influential on themselves (directly or indirectly).
A person claiming a group of people have influence on an individual when the person claiming influence is obviously affected by many apparent groups or factors is an example of Projected Personal Paradox.
