Mandatum paradox 

this is a paradox which occurs when someone asks you to 'not be nice to them'. Here, if you do not behave nicely towards them, you are actually listening to them, and thus being nice. Whereas, if you don't listen to them, you'll be acting nice to them. And thus, there is no appropriate action to this command/request.
Dude, she asked me not to be nice to her, but that request makes no sense, isn't the mandatum paradox exactly about this?
