Derived from the quandary presented when defecating in a public bathroom and the toilet paper roll appears to be soaked in urine. The question of whether to wipe one's ass with a potentially befouled toilet paper or spend the day as a shit ass presents an existential crisis known as the Shitter's Dilemma so named by Plato in 351 B.C.
In practical usage since the time of Shakespeare it has come to mean any hard choice one faces.
My kids really needed food but I wanted the new Xbox, it was a real shitter's dilemma.

"To wipe, or not to wipe? That is the Shitter's Dilemma—Whether 'tis better to wipe my filthy asshole with this, Or to take an ass full of foul debris for a fortnight long." --Hamwallet Act 3, Scene 1
