Get the A Nelmes mug.When visiting a museum or gallery, you will encounter at least one Museum Nemesis. These are the people that you see over and over again that inconvenience you repeatedly during your visit. You can tell your Museum Nemesis by some of the following traits:
-They will prevent you from seeing displays by getting up close to them, blocking your view
-They often bump into you by stepping backwards without looking. They will rarely apologise or even make eye contact after doing so
-You will never lose them. Even when you think you've lost them, they'll turn up at the next display you wish to look at
-When visiting the museum cafe they will be in front of you in the queue. They will almost certainly take the item you wanted, and it will be the last one
You museum nemesis can often be defeated by an 'accidental' tripping down some stairs. Museum stairs are often made from marble or other very hard stone.

Get the nemesis mug.A lightly-trafficked cross street that always holds you up with a red light - often one which takes FOREVER to turn green.
I'd have made it on time to my waxing were it not for my nemestreet. Willoughby Avenue parked me for what seemed like five minutes and not one car or pedestrian crossed the intersection!

Get the nemestreet mug.Plural form of nemesis, meanig enemies or rivals. Can also be used after "arch-", meaning that someone/something is your worst enemy.
Not to be confused with "nemesi", which is not an actual word.

Get the Nemeses mug.When a person thinks a facetious statement is a genuine representation of a rival ideology due to their own limited worldview.
Named for the Greek figure Nemesis, who lured Narcissus to the pool where he drowned himself trying to be with his own reflection. A counter to Poe's Law.

Asshole: “Look! This gay person on Twitter says that straight people should be made into cat food! The gay agenda is real and violent!”
Reasonable Human Being: “Dude, they’re obviously joking. Calm down.”
Asshole: “…Well, how was I supposed to know? Maybe this person is joking, but most gays say things like this and they mean it!”
Reasonable Human Being: “Have you ever met a gay person? Or are you pulling some Nemesis Law bullshit?”
