** It's a RunningGag that, right before they hurtle down a giant hill on a sled or wagon at high speeds, Hobbes will jump off at the last second to avoid the inevitable catastrophic crash ending that always results.
** One story arc had Calvin asking Hobbes to dig for worms and slugs with him. Hobbes asks him why they would do that, and quickly skedaddles when Calvin says he wants to dare each other to eat them. Calvin is [[HoistByHisOwnPetard then stuck having to uphold his end of the dare]] when he tries it on Susie and she doesn't run away screaming at the idea like he'd hoped.
** One Rosalyn babysitting story had Calvin bust out his Stupendous Man alias to attack her. The moment Calvin pulls the costume out, Hobbes decides to just head straight to bed immediately rather than wait for Rosalyn to inevitably send them to bed early as punishment once Calvin's caught.
--->'''Hobbes:''' I'm going to get in bed now and avoid the rush.
** In one strip, Calvin decides he's had enough of school for the day and decides to pack up and head back home in the middle of class. One DeathGlare from his teacher is enough to send Calvin back to his desk (although reluctantly).

*** At the climax of the Horus Heresy, Perturabo was essentially left to run the Siege of the Emperor's Palace by himself while his fellow Traitor Primarchs were occupied either pursuing their own objectives, busy elsewhere or [[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil steadily losing their minds]] and as such not really contributing to the actual objective. When Horus decreed that the Iron Warriors would be spread throughout the occupying force while Mortarion took over their prepared positions, Perturabo's patience - never a long fuse at the best of times - finally ran out and he told Horus where to stick it, gathered his troops, and quit the siege entirely.
