* For FridgeHorror, [[https://notalwaysright.com/waiting-for-nothing-while-taking-nothing/322662/ this old woman]] flies off the handle over nothing and screams bloody murder at employees, with her husband mentioning that it's because she doesn't always take her medication. But more concerning is that her husband thinks her outbursts are ''funny'', leading many commenters to wonder if he's abusing her by not getting her to take her meds. The theatre staff are told to call the police if they show up again, but so far as the story mentions, they don't see them.

* When [[https://notalwaysright.com/levels-of-service-are-bi-poles-apart/56531/ this patient]] went to hospital for PCOS, but the doctor gets hung up on a diagnosis of bipolar disorder... which, [[FailedASpotCheck as mentioned in the patient's file]], was a misdiagnosis. When the patient tries to point this out, the doctor doesn't believe them, and tries to have bipolar medication injected into them by force, the patient manages to demand a patient advocate. He seems to comply, but later, when the patient and their husband ask a nurse, the doctor seems to have "forgotten" the request. Thankfully, the nurse doesn't, and the advocate helps them lodge a complaint about the doctor, and make sure that they're treated correctly from then on.

* [[http://notalwaysright.com/learning/teaching-them-an-important-lesson-on-drugs This]] substitute teacher comes to class while high and attacks an Asian student after the student tells him not to call him a "ching-chong". Security has to drag the substitute teacher out of the classroom, and the end implies that this happens often. What's worse is that the submitter who called for security said that the receptionist and the security officers acted as if they thought ''it was a prank'' until they saw the substitute assaulting the student, firsthand. Even worse, the replacement substitute teacher's remarks imply this [[InferredHolocaust isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened]].

* After [[https://notalwaysright.com/well-bet-shes-a-ton-of-fun-on-facebook-these-days/320524/ an attempt to force mandatory prayer]] is declined by the OP (an atheist), the OP's sarcastic prayer to Satan gets interrupted by being ''punched in the face'', and is suspended, despite having done nothing wrong, and in fact trying to be accommodating for those who were praying by quietly doing things with the time.

*** [[KickTheSonOfABitch And it starts playing the moment she gets arrested.]]

* This story is titled "'''[[https://notalwaysright.com/nope/188605/ NOPE.]]'''" for a reason, as this submitter doesn't dodge a bullet; she dodges an ''artillery shell''. The submitter – a pizza delivery girl – finds herself accosted by two customers who try and get her into their house, despite the submitter's increasing discomfort and it being against company policy, then try bribing her. She still refuses, and when she takes payment, one of the customers keeps a firm hold on his cash and asks, “What’s [Pizza Shop]’s policy on drivers who go missing?” By now scared out of her wits, the submitter lets them know that her bosses would be able to find out what happened to her quickly, which prompts them to back off at last. What's worse is that [[NoEnding the story ends there]], without revealing if the customers received any consequences for this.

* [[https://notalwaysright.com/parenting-so-bad-it-hurts/126187/ This story]] got horrified reactions from the commentators, telling the OP that they had a horrifically [[AbusiveParents abusive]], [[ParentalNeglect neglectful]] upbringing, and for good reason. The OP's parents' reaction to the then twelve-year-old OP coming into the house with head split open and broken ribs after a horrible skateboarding accident is as follows. To make matters worse, both parents are ''doctors'' who should have done something to help their kid the minute they came in, the kid had to rely on ''their neighbors'' to take them to the hospital, their parents didn't seem to notice or care that their kid was away at the hospital overnight, and to top it all off, their first reaction once the OP returns home [[DisproportionateRetribution is to punish them for missing school]]. In one fell swoop we get two people who shouldn't be parents ''or'' doctors if they are ''this'' apathetic towards anyone they have to take care of (including their own children).

* [[https://notalwaysright.com/we-want-to-bite-this-person-anyone-else/206538/ This brother-in-law]] is enough of a {{Jerkass}} that he ''[[KickTheDog punches a puppy]] [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals in the face]]'' when the puppy – not knowing any better – jumped up at him. He claims this is how you're supposed to get animals under control, and it's soon shown this is how he tries to get ''people'' under control too, as the submitter points out (to the brother-in-law's fiancée's chagrin) that he has a history of domestic abuse. And after the submitter [[GetOut throws the brother-in-law out of her house]], he still has the nerve to tell the submitter's husband to “Control that b*** or someone else will.” Hopefully the guy's engagement didn't last, as the submitter implies that if he had kids, [[AbusiveParents he would have beaten them too]]!

* [[http://notalwaysright.com/learning/anger-management-versus-desk-management This teacher]] tries to physically assault a six-year-old girl just because said girl took more than two seconds to get up and leave the classroom. She wasn't even causing any trouble or being loud or anything; the teacher just completely flips her shit because human beings can't teleport on command. The girl is only saved by the sheer coincidence that her mother happened to walk into the room before anything could happen - and the last line implies that the teacher may have already gotten away with it on other kids, though thankfully whatever she's done is enough to get her fired right then and there.

* We have to wonder how the student in [[http://notalwaysright.com/learning/hammering-home-the-lesson this home ec class]] was raised. The home economics class in question handed out very high-tech anatomically correct baby simulators (presumably something like the ''Baby, Think It Over'' doll) that the students had to properly care for over a weekend, with keys attached to their wrists so that they couldn't simply pass off the chore to someone else. Classmate #4 had one that would not stop crying (which easily happens with real babies for any number of reasons). Classmate #4 and the classmate's father came up with the "brilliant" idea of hitting the simulator with a hammer, repeatedly, until the crying stops!

* [[http://notalwaysright.com/an-alarming-way-to-get-fired This teacher]] forced her class to continue to work on their exam when the fire alarms went off. She didn't even care about the fact that one of the classrooms was actually on fire, and the students were only allowed to leave once the class rep came back with the school's director. Imagine what would have happened if the fire was allowed to spread...
* [[https://notalwaysright.com/its-a-con-text/108889/ This]] failed WoundedGazelleGambit is horrifying: had it not blown up in Problem Girl's face, a 12-year-old girl would have ended up with an undeserved criminal record for cyberbullying, essentially making her life forfeit, [[DisproportionateRetribution because she called Problem Girl out for pretending to be pregnant]]. The teacher Problem Girl told knows how serious the consequences are and can't be unaware that Problem Girl is a notorious AttentionWhore with a history of making up complete nonsense, yet only becomes skeptical of her claims when she bursts into his office to report more bullying messages, and even then only because the submitter was in his office with no access to a phone. This was after said teacher had gone all InspectorJavert on the submitter and refused to give the poor baffled girl the opportunity to defend herself. The kicker? Only the teacher ends up being punished - suspended for a week for mishandling the situation - and ''[[KarmaHoudini nothing happens to Problem Girl]]''.

** Her behavior in that instance [[https://notalwaysright.com/its-a-con-text-part-2/139273/ did actually have immediate ramifications]]. On the plus side, staff other than the idiot {{Jerkass}} teacher seemed to catch on to the fact that she couldn't be trusted; however, it also resulted in people wrongly suspecting she was stealing random crap from students, ''even after items went missing [[NotMeThisTime on days she wasn't in]]''. Fortunately, nobody seemed to outright bully her for this, but the fact that people could suspect her of something even when it turned out to be impossible for her to be guilty is a terrible omen for her future.

* Something is deeply wrong at [[https://notalwaysright.com/those-department-heads-have-a-stranglehold-on-you/237097/ this EBD school]].[[note]]A school for those with behavioural difficulties[[/note]] It begins with a student ''strangling another student out of boredom'' so badly that he has to get sent to the hospital. His teacher – the submitter – tries to make it clear that the student shouldn't be in their classroom, but both the Head of Year and the Head of Department overrule them and send the student back to their class, both pooh-poohing the submitter's concerns and telling them to "suck it up and do your job." The submitter responds by [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere handing in]] [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt their notice]] – and [[HighTurnoverRate they're not the first person to do so]].
* [[https://notalwaysright.com/when-mama-bear-meets-the-legal-system/312105/ An eleven-year-old girl]] is sexually assaulted by a classmate, and reacts in self-defense… and the ([[FemaleMisogynist female]]) [[AdultsAreUseless principal]] dismisses it as "boys will be boys" and [[CrimeOfSelfDefense tries to suspend the girl for injuring the boy]], claiming that such an [[BlatantLies unprovoked]] attack would be very traumatizing for the boy, completely ignoring how traumatized the girl was by getting her breasts grabbed hard enough to bruise. To make matters worse, this happened to the daughter of a regular commenter (the incident was first related in the comments section of [[https://notalwaysright.com/making-a-boob-of-ones-self-part-12/305057/#comment-6287205811 this story]]) making it [[ItsPersonal personal]] for the regular readers. The end result? [[MamaBear The girl's mother]] filed a police report immediately after learning about the incident, [[LaserGuidedKarma the boy was expelled and given a suspended sentence, the teacher was fired and forbidden from working with children,]] and the girl's parents decided to homeschool her for the rest of the school year.

* There's those who are road hogs, and then [[http://notalwaysright.com/friendly/driving-on-all-walks-of-life there's this guy.]] He seems to think that he doesn't own just the road, but also ''the sidewalks''. After being called out on nearly running over a pedestrian, on the sidewalk, he quips back that it "doesn't matter. Don't walk where I'm driving." As a bus driver for the city, you'd think he'd know better.

* There are a number of stories on the site that involve someone denying that allergies are real and causing someone else harm when they act on this assumption. But among all those stories, [[https://notalwaysright.com/this-problem-is-no-small-potatoes/230039/ this one]] takes the absolute cake as it involves an adult pulling a stunt like this on ''[[WouldHurtAChild a child]]'' (whom she was told previously was extremely allergic to potatoes). What's even worse is that when the poor girl ends up violently ill after eating a dish the woman made that the girl didn't realize was full of potatoes, the woman simply says "You need to stop being so dramatic if you want to go anywhere in life! Allergies aren’t real unless you let them be." and goes right back to bed, leaving the poor girl to an absolutely miserable night. The girl's mother [[MamaBear unleashes absolute hell on the woman the following morning]] and they never go to her house again, but the woman otherwise [[KarmaHoudini receives no stated comeuppance]] for her horrific actions.

* The focus of [[https://notalwaysright.com/drugs-make-quackers/98238/ this story]] is a patient's silly-sounding explanation that taking penicillin makes them "sound like Donald Duck", which the nurse dismisses as a minor symptom. The comments section swiftly points out that vocal changes can be caused by an allergic tightening/swelling of the throat, which is ''not'' a minor symptom. It goes from "that patient said something silly, haha!" to "Oh god, that nurse just dismissed ''lethal asphyxiation'' as a non-issue" in nothing flat. However, in this ''particular'' case, it was likely the result of something far less serious - hopefully.
* According to the comments, [[https://notalwaysright.com/some-people-dont-deserve-dogs/117251/ This owner]] is likely abusing his dog.

* In [[https://notalwaysright.com/its-not-just-the-organs-that-are-failing/180744/ this story]], a doctor inspecting a 9-year-old boy insists that he just has gas and is probably exaggerating the pain for attention - [[KnowNothingKnowItAll ignoring the boy's mother (a nurse)]] who suspects he has appendicitis. Two days later, she runs into the mother at the hospital again and sarcastically asks if she's brought him in for a headache that she thinks is a tumor. The boy is actually undergoing surgery, because ''his appendix burst''. Worse still, the hospital only had the facilities to administer local anesthesia, so the kid is awake and screaming throughout the procedure. Only her father's intervention prevents the mother from physically attacking the doctor. Just to put the cherry on the cake, the mother's official complaint against the doctor amounts to nothing, and it takes ''several years'' of further misdiagnoses to have the doctor finally forced into retirement, with god knows how many more patients had to suffer due to her incompetence.

* [[https://notalwaysright.com/driving-you-over-the-edge/120060/ This tale of road rage]]. When a rude driver cuts off the OP and nearly causes an accident (and flips them off when the OP understandably blares the horn at them), the OP makes the mistake of flipping the rude driver off right back. This enrages the other driver so much ''they begin actively trying to'' '''''kill''''' ''the submitter'', first by slamming on the brakes to try and cause the OP to smash into their back-end, then trying to run them off the road, then stopping and getting out of his car at a traffic signal hoping the OP will get caught by it. It's only because the OP got a green light at said signal and was able to lose the nutjob in traffic that they're able to escape.

* [[https://notalwaysright.com/bullying-the-bully-type/130820/ This woman]] hates pit bulls so much that when one comes over to play with her daughter, she hits it with her purse so hard it starts bleeding and then calls the cops to try and have it '''killed''', fabricating a story about how it was rabid and bit her daughter. Thankfully, the cops aren't willing to jump to conclusions, and upon finding no evidence that any of that occurred, [[LaserGuidedKarma arrest the woman and have her pay the dog's vet bills]]. Given that those were the only consequences she was stated to have suffered, [[FridgeHorror what's stopping her from trying to get other dogs killed just because they're a breed she doesn't like]]?

* For sheer ParanoiaFuel, there's [[https://notalwaysright.com/what-in-the-actual-f/310129/ this story]]. Basically, the submitter's family moves into a new house, but hear strange noises, then notice that their utility bills seem oddly high. After a few years, they decide to solve the mystery by getting an inspector from the energy company to have a look. They then discover a juncture leading to an underground bunker, where the house's previous owner has been mooching off their power and water, with ''cameras monitoring all over the house''. He claims it was to keep an eye on the family's comings and goings to make sure no one saw him, but the submitter isn't convinced he wasn't creeping on them, and thankfully, [[LaserGuidedKarma niether is the judge]]. Once again, the story's title says it all:
