!!Tropes pertaining to Thomas' works:
* PrematureAggravation: The "jack story", popularised by him. A travelling salesman gets a flat tire on a country road, and he starts walking along the road looking for a house to borrow a jack from. He gets increasingly aggravated during the troublesome journey, and starts imagining various reasons he's going to get rejected--they don't have a jack, he looks too suspicious, etc.--and after he finally reaches a house and knocks, as soon as the door is opened he just shouts "Keep your damn jack!" and storms off.
