Derived from the quandary presented when defecating in a public bathroom and the toilet paper roll appears to be soaked in urine. The question of whether to wipe one's ass with a potentially befouled toilet paper or spend the day as a shit ass presents an existential crisis known as the Shitter's Dilemma so named by Plato in 351 B.C.
In practical usage since the time of Shakespeare it has come to mean any hard choice one faces.

My kids really needed food but I wanted the new Xbox, it was a real shitter's dilemma.

The uncomfortable but ultimate acceptance of another dude farting at a the urinal while you're in the bathroom. You can't claim that it's an inappropriate place to fart, so you just gotta deal with it.
I was faced with the prisoner's dilemma right before my big interview at the company's headquarters.

The chinaman's dilemma is wether or not it would be wise to capture and consume all of the shrimp in the world if one was able to. The dilemma is between the choice of instant and immense gratification (eating all the shrimp) or factoring in the long run and sustaining the shrimp population, resulting in eating less shrimp but for a longer time.
I have this whole pizza all to myself and I can eat it all tonight or save some for tomorrow. This is a real chinamans dilemma.
