Orphan's Paradox 

A child who's raised without nurturing love will behave aggressively towards others to the point of pushing away those who could give love to that child, thereby keeping the child in an unloving environment.
As an orphan I acted out because I wanted a family. No family would adopt me because I acted out. I was trapped in the orphan's paradox.

May Zues Paradox

It’s a term used in Burmese Politics in Myanmar. As long as a certain group of people is seating in the parliament, you are told that the only option you have is to vote for NLD which will be getting rid of them sooner or later. But they had already spoken out publicly that those unelected 25% people which is provided with seats in parliament according to the unjust constitution they said, are too crucial in this politics to be disposed and reconciliation with military faction is politically suggested method to avoid bloodshed as little as possible, which on the other hand neglects all the social class struggles and identity politics in the country.
Saw Maung : Hey Pineapple Bikini, I dont think I will be voting as long as the constitution is not amended.

Pineapple Bikini : Why do you say so ?

Saw Maung : Dude, we are facing May Zues Paradox.

Eric the Midget Paradox 

Noun: A phenomenon attributed to living things, usually persons, who suffer afflictions that would normally elicit sympathy and compassion, but as a consequence of repellent behavior instead attract denigration and/or hostility.

Derived from Eric the Midget of the Howard Stern Show.
"I just saw a blind guy beating his dog with his cane! He was a classic exemplar of the Eric the Midget Paradox!"

Idiot Paradox 

A theory that states that the more stupid a person is, the more intelligent they are likely to think they are. This is caused by their incredibly narrow perspective of the world making them think that they know a hell of a lot. For someone to understand that they are stupid requires a certain kind of enlightenment - that they know relatively little - that is unavailable to stupid people.

Therefore, it is impossible for a truly stupid person to be able to admit that they are stupid.
Did you read that book he just wrote? It's too bad the Idiot Paradox won't allow him to realize that it'd be better suited as a toilet paper dispenser.

unemployability paradox 

When every posting for a job in a given field requires several years of experience, making it impossible to get a job in that field unless you already have one.
Even Applebee's won't hire a bartender who hasn't worked somewhere else for at least 2 years. This is an impenetrable unemployability paradox!

L Paradox 

When you hookup at a girl's place and she has a used condom wrapper next to her bed. You not totally sure she a thot because you know she uses condoms, but with that logic you would conclude that every girl who did not have an empty condom wrapper next to their bed was a total hoe.
Yo I banged this girl last night, no wrapper next to the bed; she's either total freak or my future wife...damn that L Paradox

spammer's paradox

Spamming itself may be defined as the abuse of electronic messaging systems, cybernetic or otherwise (including junk faxing, for example), for the purpose of sending unsolicited bulk messages. In order for spamming to succeed, a disproportionately large quantity must be delivered successfully to its recipients, or there will be an insignificant return. Unfortunately for the spammer, it is exactly that large quantity that renders any individual piece of spam less effective: the moment a large enough number of the same piece of spam is sent, the message becomes identifiable as spam by anti-spamware, forcing the spammer to start from scratch with a new spam tactic. This is the so-called "spammer's paradox".
Good example: the mass E-mailing of online pharmacy advertising created a spammer's paradox in many large corporations because it only took two instances of the same spam reported to their IT departments for the spamblocker immediately to delete the rest.
