this is a paradox which occurs when someone asks you to 'not be nice to them'. Here, if you do not behave nicely towards them, you are actually listening to them, and thus being nice. Whereas, if you don't listen to them, you'll be acting nice to them. And thus, there is no appropriate action to this command/request.
Dude, she asked me not to be nice to her, but that request makes no sense, isn't the mandatum paradox exactly about this?

Get the Mandatum paradoxmug. When the only way you can get a black persons respect is to be extremely cool and nice to them. Which, in return, they take advantage of the niceness and you're back where you started. This mainly applies to adults/teachers.
My principal was a good principal. He only went wrong when he started befriending everyone. All the black kids now saw him as a peer and not a figure of authority, thus taking advantage of him and causing him to get fired. The nigger paradox. If you don't befriend them, they dont respect you. When you do befriend them, they take advantage of you. It never works out.

Get the Gangsta's Paradoxmug. You fucking up history.
It'd be like going back in time and shooting yourself in the head, you'd die, but you wouldn't appear back in time to kill yourself, so you'd have to wait until after you said you'd do it to successfully kill yourself, right? Wrong, you still wouldn't have done it, so history resets, and if you are one retarded motherfucker, you will try it again until you stop buttfucking your grandmother in her prime back in the 1940's

Get the Zero paradoxmug. When you ask your friend to make a choice between 2 things that make no difference to you or your group and they say “I don’t mind” or “I don’t care, you choose”. This results in an argument trying to make them choose before someone eventually gets pissed off enough to make the choice for them.
Joe: “ Hey Liam do you want to play out wide or in the centre on pro clubs tonight?”
Liam: “I don’t care, I’ll play wherever after everyone else has chosen.”
Danny: “Oh shit you shouldn’t have asked him that, you’ve now entered ‘The Lawrence Paradox’.”
