The Battery Conservation Paradox

The decision faced when prompted with a low battery on a device such as a phone or ipod you wish to use later. Brought on by the fear that by going through the energy-consuming act of turning off the device you may actually use the last of the battery you are trying to conserve.

As Jenny needed her phone to call a cab later but had minimal battery left, she was faced with the Battery Conservation Paradox. Did she dare attempt to turn off her phone lest it die completely?

The Elevator Paradox

So this is a way to confuse everyone around you in an elevator when you walk in.
When you walk in an elevator, you do not turn around to face the door and continute to stare at the back of the Elevator.
To achieve maximum confusion, you walk out facing the same way untill the people in the elevator can no longer see you.

Me: *walks into an elevator, doesn't turn to look at the door*
Guy 1: Whats he doing, why is it making me unnerved.
Guy 2: Careful! He's creating The Elevator Paradox, just let him be and he'll go away... uncomfortably..

the Johnson Paradox

The Johnson Paradox is a phenomenon where a group of people love and support an individual, despite that individual lying repeatedly and showing the utmost corruption and hypocrisy in their daily life.

The individual might also be completely in contempt of their supporters and morally destitute, but the supporters cannot see the individual for what they are and support them regardless.

Reasonable Person 1: "So he lied to everyone and was forced out of office by his own party, yet when he returned yesterday, he was met with thunderous applause?"
Reasonable Person 2: "It's the Johnson Paradox in effect."

LEAF Paradox

The strategy of trying to achieve the improved mental wellbeing of students through the imposition of rigorous academic load, tireless material-reading, restless assignments, and endless essays.

Teacher: We are living through difficult times, so don't forget to have some off-screen time purely dedicated to relaxing and doing nothing. Also, until the next class, read the chapter, submit the weekly essay, complete the quiz and try to answer all the questions I will post.
Student: Thanks for this LEAF Paradox, I am gonna drown myself in the kitchen sink instead.

DonGivAFuk Paradox

The DonGivAFuk Paradox is when someone simply doesn't give a fuck about your statement, opinion, or anything you have to say. One way to tell if your in this paradox just ask them if they give a fuck. If they say no your in the DonGivAFuk Paradox.

(DestyXV) "You sit in gen till you get iron armor!"
(ThunderStorw) "DonGivAFuk."
(DestyXV) "Well I do!"
(ThunderStorw) "DonGivAFuk!"
This is a DonGivAFuk Paradox
