What's a paradox/oxymoron in your daily life?

Free time. Since I only get paid if I work, there is no free time.

I’m smart, but I haven’t figured out (yet) how to make good money.

I’m perplexed by the fact that my whole house, no matter how much my wife and I clean and vacuum, collects hair of every kind, specifically from our dog, like a magnet. It’s not really a paradoxical saying, but it’s perplexing.

You’re like a fish out of water. (More of a simile I know).

I need a car to get to work but I need a job to keep my car. It seems like a pointless vicious cycle to me.

I’m a model and I dress in Target clothes most of the time :-P

When I have free time, I get antsy and want to go somewhere or get work done, but when I’m working, all I want is to rest and relax.

I am so sick of being a student, but I want to become a teacher.

ATM machines

@omfgTALIjustIMDu… just guessing here, but is the paradox/oxymoron you’re implying that ATM machines exist, and you don’t have any money?

@robmandu: you got it.

I love animals, have 4 (2 dogs, 2 cats) but am allergic.

Ah, then @omfgTALIjustIMDu, now that I think about it, perhaps my Question should’ve been about irony moreso than paradox. Specifically, situational irony or perhaps comic irony.

Your example helped me realize that. Hmmmm.

OTOH, by not referencing irony directly, at least we weren’t all subjected to this.

@robmandu: love the Alanis Morissette song. Especially the woman in the backseat wearing the green sweater.

I love to be right but I hate to argue.

@omfgTALIjustIMDu, you crack me up!

How about having an M.A. and working at a pizza place or Hobby Lobby. You can’t even teach high school, in Louisiana at least.
