* [[spoiler:Holidays/Vacations]] Humans stuff a small a small proportion of their possessions into bags and boxes, possibly damaging them in the process. They then leave their home, which they have designed to suit their needs, and go and live in a different building where they can't where anything is, and are separated from the majority of their belongings. The humans are often not suited to the climate and terrain the new building is situated in, and they often find themselves unable to communicate with the local residents of the area.
