stopstacle

a stopstacle is an obstacle that will very likely not be overcome. It stops one from proceeding.

The fact that kale has to be washed, cut from the stem, massaged, and chopped is a total stopstacle for me. I just won't eat it, I'll stick with the pre-washed romaine in a bag.

slobstacle course

Surroundings that have become difficult to navigate because of excessive clutter.

I nearly tripped and broke my neck passing through the slobstacle course my kids left in the living room.

Snobstacle

Some asshat in a luxury car going under the speed limit in the fast lane like he/she owns the damn road, often seen changing lanes right in front of you without a turn signal, and guaranteed to honk angrily at you when you pass them.

Im late for work and all I need right now is to dodge past these fuckin' snobstacles clogging up the freeway!!!

shopstacle course

Any store display or meandering checkout line meant to control your movement throughout the building, and simultaneously try to sell you additional items before you leave. They are usually a nuisance, and border on being a fire hazard in the event of an emergency. Such as preventing a quick exit from a building. Sometimes the displays can be so large you can't see if there are any available registers open.

This store is such a shopstacle course! It has all kinds of floor displays blocking the aisles and I have to wander back and forth through a merchandise maze just to check out!
