* [[https://notalwaysright.com/putting-the-agony-in-protagonist/323675/ This mother-in-law]] relates a story where on one Black Friday, while she's on her way to shop, she a) got cussed out by a neighbour, b) there was a stabbing at the gas station she visited, and c) she witnesses a bad car wreck. What qualifies her story as this trope is the fact that she paints herself as the victim in all those stories when a) she had woken up the neighbour at 3:00 AM to help jumpstart her car because she hadn't turn off her dome light, b) she was four cars away from the stabbing, and c) she neglected to call 911 at the car wreck because [[SkewedPriorities she didn't want to miss the Black Friday sales]]. As it turned out, the stabbing victim survived, as did the everyone in the wreck, [[TheyJustDontGetIt but the mother-in-law is unable to understand that the story isn't about her]].
-->'''Submitter:''' "[[LetMeGetThisStraight So...]] you woke your elderly neighbor because you didn't turn off your dome light, someone else got stabbed nowhere near you, another person lost their car and possibly more... and ''you'' had a bad morning?"\\
'''Mother-In-Law:''' "Yes! Who else would have so many bad things happen to them in one day?"

* [[https://notalwaysright.com/what-a-bloody-nuisance-2/287135/ This motorist]] hassles the submitter – a tow-truck driver changing his BMW's tire – to hurry up, refuses to move his car to make the tire change easier because it would "ruin the tire," then [[SmugSnake smugly]] tells the submitter he'll get the submitter fired for swearing... when said swearing was because the submitter had badly skinned his knuckles due to the lack of distance between the car and the curb. The submitter responded by [[MaliciousCompliance fulfilling the motorist's request to hurry up by prioritizing changing the tire over bandaging his fingers]], thus getting blood all over the car.

Then when the submitter tells her he can't do that, she ''pushes him off the boat'' ([[LaserGuidedKarma in the process getting herself covered in sauce from the submitter's burrito]]).
