The Toilet Cleaners Paradox

If you are the best at cleaning toilets, you will never be promoted to taking out the trash. Incompetent people can rise while those that do the dirty but critical work will remain stuck.... cleaning the toilets.
It appears i suffer from the toilet cleaners paradox as I can't progress in my career while others more forward.

Paradoxical Domino Effect

The idea that introducing or accepting a single paradox means introducing and accepting an infinite amount of subsequent other paradoxes, because of the first paradox.

The main take away here is you don't want to introduce any paradoxes to a line of reasoning or any model, because you'll have to also by proxy also accept an infinite amount of other paradoxes that are thus created by the first one as a consequence.
Paradoxical Domino Effect Example #1: God exists therefore any other god could also exist. Since God exists so could faeries, werewolves, vampires, Big Foot, and The Loch Ness monster. Since faeries could exist as a consequence of this, magic also must exist since they use magic.

Paradoxical Domino Effect Example #2: Going back in time is possible; therefore, you can go back in time and kill your own grandpa so you couldn't be born. Since you can't be born you must not exist. Since you no longer exist... wait what if going back in time is actually just a copy of the past you are going into? So there must be infinite pasts you can go into. Since there are infinite pasts you can go into...

Cookie Paradox

The terrible realization that the chocolate chips in your cookie are, in fact raisins. Yet, you continue to consume the cookie simply because it's a cookie, even though its not the cookie you want.

An overwhelming disappointment when you realize you've set high expectations based on the appearance of an item.
Beth: Hey are you still dating Landon??

Mica: Yeah, but he's a total Cookie Paradox. His dick is tiny.

Beth: Oh but he's so attractive and funny, what are you gonna do?
Mica: Well, I'm obviously going to fool around with him until I find something better.

Campbell's Paradox

Campbell's paradox states that the word "dad" is both at the peak of kinky and devoid of kinky connotation simultaneously. Philosophers and ethicists typically use the common term "daddy" as an anchor, since "daddy" is known to have non-zero and non-absolute kinky connotation. Thus, the scale of kinkiness goes dad < daddy < dad.
"On a scale from dad to dad, how bad was that girl you were with last night?"
"Excuse me?"
