I'm wondering if you mean you simply dislike the universe or can make no sense of it, or that logic only appears to work.
I am thinking here of The Captain Hook Affair by Humphrey Carpenter. Two children find themselves on a crooked world, where the inhabitants regard straight things as physically impossible. In attempting to demonstrate a straight line, one of them finds the physical limits of this world (the lumpy paper and crooked pencil) will not allow it. While straight exists conceptually, they were unable to demonstrate it.
