* For Tsukasa fans, the volleyball scene in the OVA. Her sister smacks her in the face with the ball, she tries to give it her all for once, but she ''still'' loses the game. One could reasonably argue that it wouldn't really be Tsukasa if she won, but still. She says, "Next time...", but given the "grand finale" feel to the OVA, it doesn't seem like there will ever be a next time outside the realm of fanfiction.

* During the class trip, Kagami gets a note from a guy to meet her at a certain place at night. From the way she was acting, she was expecting it to be a love confession. But it turns out all the guy wanted to do was ask her if she would part with the keychain she'd bought earlier that day because he thought it was cute. You have to feel bad for her.

How does arguing with your younger siblings count as having problems? It\'s not like they constantly get on each other\'s nerves like that (And even then, Konata and Kagami remain best friends despite the former\'s constant teasing, so why can\'t it be the same for those two sisters?).
