-Temporal narcissism is often seen when people regrettably remember that they can't rewind the movie they're watching at the movie theater when they couldn't make out what was said.
-Example of temporal narcissism: Driving home from work today, I got really indignant after remembering I couldn't pause the radio while I ordered dinner at the drive-through window.

By poetic extension, it is used the way Americans say "crapshoot' or "the luck of the draw' or lottery or 'numbers game'

The song "La Vida Es Una Tómbola" by Marisol and another version, for Diego Maradona, by Manu Chao is the most famous example. (Life is a raffle)
There's a line in "Evita" that goes: "She won't help the hungry once a month at your tómbolas / she'll simply take control as / you disappear" (It's from "The Actress Hasn't Learned the Lines").
