You have seen shop attendants expecting you to be grateful for their being so kind to pay attention and serve you - instead of minding their own business. And of course you have been given appointments: "we'll come to fix your problem in 4 weeks, any time between 8 am and 5 pm".
Perhaps you have have been to a café, ordered a pancake with jam and have been told that before 4 o'clock you can have it only with sugar. And you may have tried again, asking for an omelette instead, and been told that you cannot order it before noon (never mind it's 11:45).
But then, one day, you put 1 € in an automatic vending machine in a lonely metro station and when it doesn't work, you get your 1 € back. Transferred directly to your bank account.
That day, you know that the question has become: when will the next paradox hit you again in this Neverland of our imagination?
