Get the Parannoying mug.noun /ˈpærəˌnoʊm/
Etymology:
From para- (“beside, beyond”) + -nome (evoking metronome, gnome, and norm)
A principle, condition, or agent in which each individual acknowledges a shared rule but claims personal exemption from it. The rule persists, but its authority dissolves through universal exceptionality. The paranome is the norm that no one fully obeys; each participant bends it inward, ticking to their own logic while still orbiting its presence.

You can't truly reason with anybody, because they never see themselves as wrong, clearly their own exception to the rule. Society is one tangled chaotic mess of a silent paranome.
