 Is there a German world for the feeling you get when you're at home waiting for a delivery but you've got an errand to run and you feel in your guts the delivery man isn't going to show up today ; but at the same time you *know* that 5 minutes after you leave the delivery man will come knocking at the door? 
 Every single time😂 
 Schroëdingerlieferung maybe?

Since the delivery man is both here and not here at the same time; but you won't know for sure until you leave your home. 
 😂 Why German ? 
 Because the way German build new words is basically glue existing words together with "s" in between. So it's fairly easy (and fun) to coin new words.
