Hanlon's Paradox

When someone is both stupid and malicious and you can't tell which is the dominant factor driving a behavior.

The boss just assigned Dickhead McGee to my team and I can't decide if he did it because he doesn't know that it's a terrible idea, or he just hates me and wants to see me suffer. It's a real Hanlon's Paradox.

Shitbox Paradox

When you constantly are having to constantly fix and rig an old car to run in order to appear as having an original running model.

I love being the only person in town with a 1970’s model Bronco, but I gotta hold some wires together so the ignition works… it’s just the Shitbox Paradox!
