subway sandwich ordeal 

When you encounter a situation with an unnecessarily large number of options to choose from, and all you really wanted is something that just works... what kind of bread, what kind of cheese, condiments, meat.... sigh! (Where I come from, bread=white sliced bread)...

Bonus points when used with cloud computing!

Refer to "Funniest Milk Ad Ever! (Australian)" on youtube for further illustration.

Phobic denotation ordeal

The curious and unpleasant yet unsurprising and common experience of looking up a person's name (perhaps your own) on Urban Dictionary and finding that the results become more and more

A) disgustingly homophobic (gaynotation)
B) shaming of fat people (fatnotation)
C) slut shaming (whorenotation)
D) racist (racenotation)

as you scroll down or go past the first page.

Option A occurs mostly with typically male names. When occurring with typically female names, it tends to be that the definitions are about male homosexuals anyway.

Option B and C occur mostly with typically female names.

Option D occurs mostly with typically male names, for some reason.
1. Francis is "some fag"
3. Sarah is a "dyke" and also a "noun" (Thanks for the clarification! Nothing gets past you, homophobes.)
4. Ashley is "usually a fatass"
5. Karen is a "hoebag"
6. Mario is a "Jew bitch cock"

I just went through a lot of phobic denotation ordeals looking up good examples for you people. I'm too disgusted to look up more.

Ordealism 

When too many people are involved in a decision which involves all persons engaging in an activity, and it becomes too difficult to decide where to go, or how to execute the plan.
We were all supposed to go out, but noone could agree on which restaurant, who would ride with who, there was so much ordealism that some of us lost interest in even going.
