The complete inability to think or speak that some people get when their phone call is answered by someone other than the person they tried to ring.
They seem so stunned by the fact that someone they called might momentarily be away from their desk, that they had never thought of a way to deal with such an eventuality.

Get the Pound Paralysis mug.An overwhelming feeling which prevents you from getting your chores done because there are too many of them. You don't know where to begin and what to get out of the way first. You stare at your 'to do' list unable to decide which burdensome task you should do first.
Similar to choice paralysis only the problem here isn't what flavour ice cream you want to wolf down but a number of boring tasks that have to get done so you can go back to enjoying life.

I wanted to go for a long walk to clear my head but instead found myself looking at my very long list of chores, unable to move a muscle. I was clearly suffering from a serious case of chore paralysis.

Get the Chore paralysis mug.A Sleep Paralysis Demon is when you're sleeping, then startled into a half-awake state, in which a scary creature, (often gargoyle-like), has you in its grasp. Usually from behind. You can feel its body against your and its claws digging into your skin. You are frozen. Perhaps frozen in fear. But not necessarily, since I've tried to fight them off, but I'm still frozen. Your partially awake mind, wonders how it got in your room. You will assume through the window. As they are often hawk-like, or Doberman-like, you figure they just crashed through the window. If it's man, it's scarier, because he's usually squeezing your jewels.
If you stay cool, and keep reaching for your rational mind, logic will win out, and the fear will dissipate rather quickly, and you'll wake up. On the other hand, if you're the emotional type and given to weird beliefs, as you start thawing you flip your sh*t and start screaming. This is the "Night Terror" part of it.

Sleep Paralysis Demon: "So I was at the dealership shopping for a car today. I felt there was something a little off about the salesman. Nothing major, just quiet baldy weird. That night he's in my dream and he's got zero respect for body space. Every time I ask him something he walks up nearly face to face to me as he explains things. I can nearly taste the tofu on his breath. Next thing I know he's spooning me in bed with his hand in a vice grip around my nads. I was frozen stiff as I tried to eek out, "I'll buy the car. First thing in the morning. I promise."
