* ShapedLikeItself: [[http://notalwaysright.com/more-than-mildly-confused/ Here]].

** [[https://notalwaysright.com/we-hope-the-nephew-doesnt-take-a-page-out-of-his-uncles-book/327175/ This bookstore customer doesn't recognize the Bible when it's shown and mentioned to him.

* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: [[http://notalwaysright.com/he-keeps-coming-back-and-back-and-back-to-the-future/ This customer]] has never seen ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' and doesn't realize his mechanic friend tricked him when he told him to get a "flux capacitor" for his car. Needless to say, he's very angry upon learning the truth.

* [[https://notalwaysright.com/that-is-not-a-baller-move/325286/ This guy]] calls 911 over his power going out because he doesn't want to miss his ballgame.

* [[https://notalwaysright.com/drownded-fake-calls/102794/ “Well, that’s five minutes I’ll never get back.”]]

** Similarly, [[https://notalwaysright.com/mother-versus-nature/209787/ this mother]] is angry with the zoo for allowing their bull elephant to be… aroused, while her children were visiting. She insinuates that the elephant is "a pervert and needs to be locked away" and accuses the zoo of "abusing" him to make him that way.

** [[invoked]][[https://notalwaysright.com/every-store-has-its-incident-this-store-had-all-of-them/322561/ This store]] has the back luck of having had too many incidents involving crazy customers to count (unsurprisingly, [[OnlyInFlorida the store is in Florida]]). The submitter (a customer) only learns about the details of two of what are implied to be ''many'' customer-related incidents from a friend who works at said store [[note]]one is extremely disgusting and required much of the pharmacy to have to be sanitized, while the other involved a set of triplets shooting up milk cartons with BB guns in the middle of the store[[/note]], while other incidents such as "Farmer Chicken Blood", "Herpes Harpy", "[[UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic The Mask-Rumbling of '21]]", and "The Great Mayonnaise Spill of '22" go entirely unexplained (other than that The Great Mayonnaise Spill apparently resulted in much of the store's staff ''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere quitting]]'').

* "[[https://notalwaysright.com/this-entitlement-is-taking-up-too-much-space/315852/ I have a £85,000 BMW! My car is the most expensive car in the car park. I can park it however I like!]]"

** [[https://notalwaysright.com/bagged-far-more-than-he-bargained-for/118484/ This customer]] averts it and [[LaserGuidedKarma suffers the consequences]]- the customer he [[MistakenForServant mistook for a staff member]] and was rude to turned out to actually be his boss's boss, who promptly put him on a two-week supervisory period for his bad behavior.

** [[https://notalwaysright.com/vegas-starts-in-london/195545/ This woman]] speaks so loudly - on a plane - that the submitter hears everything she's saying loud and clear despite wearing ''noise-cancelling headphones''.

* MotorMouth: Sometimes the best way to handle them is to [[http://notalwaysright.com/all-hail-wikipedia/ give them a taste of their own medicine]]. (With a little help from Website/TheOtherWiki, of course.)

** An ExploitedTrope by the manager of [[https://notalwaysright.com/that-drink-sounds-really-nice-actually/304243/ this]] coffee shop, who has taken the most common "funny" answers to "Is there anything else I can get you?" and named expensive speciality drinks after them. Faced with either admitting they were making a joke so predictible the shop had prepared for it in advance, or pretending they were actually ordering the drink, a surprising number of people go for the latter.

* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: [[http://notalwaysright.com/one-bad-joke-deserves-another/ This]] person works in a theater where the restrooms have a marquee over them identical to the marquees over the individual theaters, reading "Restrooms." The tone of the story suggests that the person has gotten far too many people who think they're funny by asking if "Restrooms" is a good movie, so they have fun with it: "I thought it was OK, [[{{pun}} but the reviews have been in the toilet.]]"
