Sean Problems

When everything you touch turns to shit. No matter the time of day, occasion or task at hand. Something will go catastrophically wrong.

I bought a new car and within ten minutes all hell broke loose and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas Tree. Can’t even get a new car without Sean Problems cropping up.

Man Problems

(n.): not being able to find food items that are right there and easily found by anyone lacking a Y-chromosome.

My husband can't ever find the mustard in the fridge. I can't blame him, though, since he's just suffering from man problems.

Meta-Problems

Problems that are generated by the failed or clumsy attempts to solve a previous, more basic problem. They are the "second-order" crises, complications, and unintended consequences that arise from the solution itself. Solving the original problem often makes the meta-problem worse, creating a vicious cycle. You can't fix them with the same thinking that created them; you need to step back and rethink the entire approach.

Meta-Problems Example: The original problem is urban crime. A solution is aggressive "stop-and-frisk" policing. The Meta-Problem created is the devastating erosion of community trust in law enforcement, leading to less cooperation, more violence, and a deeper legitimacy crisis. The "solution" has now spawned a worse, more complex problem.

Mental Problems

Unless it isn't the result of a mental problem but rather it's easier for your to presuppose mental problem than it is 'you deserve to be murdered for knowingly and willingly immiserating people and that was happening to that guy in explicit terms by the people around him claiming he has memtal problems IN SPITE OF THE FACT that the clinicians said he DOESN'T.' Additionally, this doesn't immiserate you. THIS remediates MY problem and what I do if it doesn't will be immiserate you.

Hym "I mean, as a Catholic conservative, there are only 3 possibile explanations to you. 1. Mental Problems. 2. Evil. And 3. (in the case of Israel Palestine for example) KILLING Evil. So, the clinician said he DOESN'T and his coworkers say he DOES. BOY DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR! So, to say that anyone does what that guy did must have mental problems would be 'denying the antecedent.' It sounds to me like everyone around him was insisting that he had mental problems he didn't actually have and that day he had finally had enough so he killed them all. And the passengers were just collateral damage. We are fighting a war that YOU PEOPLE instigate and refuse to end and WHEN YOU LOSE (In the form of child murder or plane crash) the war you started the people involved are going to pretend to be bystanders and they are going to escape the accountability your pretend to care so much about."

Chaotic Bus Problems

When one person get's thrown under the bus, and the rest get thrown under as well. Also great for describing total clusterfucks, Epic Fails, and other disastrous related problems.

Girl: "Jeff just threw everyone under the bus, we're all fired"

Guy: "Are you kidding me?! The kitchen was just on fire too, and there's slugs in the ice machine again!! Never ending chaotic bus problems in this bitch!!"

Fat World Problems

Minor irritating things associated with being fat that seem trivial.

Jimmy: It sucks they closed my favorite buffet just because a few people got food poisioning. It was right between my home and work too.
Dave: Sounds like some serious fat world problems.
