Paradox-Patricek Paper 1: A Study on the Inconclusiveness of Inconvenience

By: Dr. Patrice P. Bottomsworth, Chief Conundrumer of the Committee of Conundrums

This seminal paper explores the concept of the Inconclusiveness of Inconvenience, a phenomenon observed in the unlikeliest of places: the waiting room at the DMV.

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the relationship between the length of time one spends waiting in line and the degree of frustration one experiences.

Our research suggests that the longer one waits, the more likely they are to experience a state of utter despair and/or existential dread.

This is a major breakthrough in the field of Inconvenience Studies and has far-reaching implications for the field of Human Suffering.

Introduction

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a never-ending line at the DMV, wondering if the universe has gone mad?

We have.
