problemtunity 

An offer presented to an employee, usually by a manager, which is an unwanted task outside the scope of the employee's normal job function that will cause much confusion and anxiety and never reward him the recognition he deserves anyway.

"Ron, are you busy? I need your help with something...I have a problemtunity, if you will..."

problemtunity 

The combination of the words "problem" and "opportunity", and a reminder that problems are opportunities.

Intuitively , the graduate student sensed that getting a new next door neighbor who smokes was a PROBLEMTUNITY, but wasn't sure why. In the next few days and weeks he realized that seeing how fucked-up his neighbor was, addicted to nicotine and unable to quit smoking, and that man's other problemtunities, let the graduate student see how blessed he was to be healthy and living correctly. The opportunity the problemtunity presented him with is a chance to spend more time studying, because to prevent his new neighbor's cigarette smoke from entering his apartment through its main door he puts a blanket at the base of the door, and to not need to stick parts of the blanket in the cracks on the side of the door more than once-a-day, he stays at home more, dedicates more time to study, and is getting better grades.

probletunity 

An opportunity that arises when a problem has to be solved. The opportunity may give rise to benefits that are unrelated to the problem being solved.

The rising cost of gasoline creates a market for alternative energy sources. This creates an probletunity for developing and marketing electrically powered hybrid vehicles to replace cars totally reliant on petrol and diesel. This will save on co2 emissions, which contribute to the greenhouse effect, and thus may reduce global warming.

Problitunity 

It's not an problem, it's an opportunity to overcome adversity. Instead of being a victim, you need to take a negative statement and turn it into a positive sounding passive aggressive statement.

I have the problitunity to repair this stupid amp.

Problem-tunity 

An opportunity can lie within a problem. Problem solving can have a very positive and unexpected outcome.

TURN A PROBLEM INTO AN OPPORTUNITY, resulting in improvement or advancement. A PROBLEM IS REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY. It's like the saying, "The solution lies within the problem." A person shouldn't fear, neglect, or ignore problems because the very ACT of addressing them can open new doors and allow one to grow.

Example #1
Someone at a business meeting is complaining about mistakes made by the receptionist when taking down messages. The problem-tunity here is to take some positive action: perhaps submit some protocal that can be used as a company model and/or part of training. It would take the complainer and turn them into a positive employee in the eyes of management.

Example #2
A Bully at school is trying to con a Kid out of lunch money. The Kid usually hides or goes out of their way to avoid the Bully. Problem = Bully focusing on the Kid and creating shame or embarassment. Opportunity = Kid using the attention from the Bully creatively to befriend them and become allies.
