"Schroedingers silence" is a situation where on an online chat, the chat partner suddenly becomes silent, as if ignoring. But in fact, it is quite impossible to know if the partner is the latter, or simply away from the keyboard.
These situations can only be one or the other, as soon as the Schroedingers silence is opened, E.G. having a second partner check if he will get an answer when chatting with the first partner: If no answer is given back, the Schroedingers silence has been open, and one can conclude that the partner is indeed AFK. However if the partner do answer, the Schroedingers silence has been opened aswell, and one can now conclude that the partner is ignoring.

When you are so broke that you incur penalties causing you to become more broke, thus incurring more penalties.
You are in Schroedinger's situation when you don't have the money to fix a broken taillight, so the cops give you a ticket. You pay the ticket, thereby incurring an overdraft charge. And so on.

When you try to plug in a USB it is in a superposition as long as you have plugged it in once. That's the reason why you always have to rotate a USB twice to actually plug it in.
1: I hate it when I can't plug in USB-sticks!
2: That's a very common problem, it's called Schroedinger's USB.
