* '''Exaggerated''': Alice asks Bob to help teach her to drive. He teaches her to run red lights, ignore all stop signs, and road race the cops when they try to pull her over.

** Bob doesn't want anyone doing better than him at anything.

** Bob knows [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Alice's]] [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny personality]] [[HotBlooded would]] [[HairTriggertemper lend]] [[DisproportionateRetribution itself]] [[AxCrazy badly]] to driving, one way or another, so he tries to get her to fail and give it up.

* '''Parodied''': Bob teaches Alice to run red lights, ignore all signage, and flip off cops...but it turns out to be the way you drive well in this universe.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob tries to teach Alice to run red lights, but whenever she tries, traffic keeps coming in from the side, so she decides she might as well stop at each red light and let those "awful drivers" pass from now on, for safety's sake. But she still runs them if no one's coming.

* '''Enforced''': "So Bob is a driver's ed teacher. Let's spice things up by having him teach Alice to run red lights!"

* '''Invoked''': "Bob, can you help me drive? After a bit I'll be a much better driver than you." "Grr...."
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': "Bob, can you help teach me to drive? And I wasn't born yesterday...I'll recognize if you're screwing with me."

* '''Played For Drama''': Bob sabotages Alice's gun lessons, believing she intends to murder someone.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob sabotages Alice's gun lessons, but every time she misses her target, she hits something that makes her target miserable in some way (first a bucket of tar, then some birds whose feathers land all over the target, etc.) leading him to jump off a roof and stick to a flagpole a couple hundred feet off the ground. Alice decides that's probably good enough.

"Ok, now include the link I gave you." "Back to [[EmptyRoomPsych Sabotutor]]...hey, wait! That's not the right link!" "You're doing it wrong...[[{{Sabotutor}} here's the main page]]."
