** ButWaitTheresMore Gotrek is monumentally pissed, but he sends the emissary again. The emissary then says that he will return to his king with double the compensation he asked or a shaved beard (Shaving their beard is the biggest insult you can perform on a dwarf!)\\

** In another story, Telluris has just spent an entire chapter running away from an EldritchAbomination that looks like a miniature sun with tentacles, and is a DreamEater. Finally, he and his companions manage to make it out of its cave.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' All of the Israelites realize that Hate Gifts From God are a ''bad thing'' and beg forgiveness. Or at least go back to eating the manna, which is still there. (Actually, some did, because some Israelites were still around after this)\\

* "Dark Lady" by Music/{{Cher}}: A woman who visits a fortune teller's shop, where she is told that her lover has been cheating on her. Unbeknownst to the woman, the fortune teller is his mistress.\\

* Arachne is bragging about her weaving skills to an old woman and saying that she's even better at it than Athena. Said old woman then reveals herself as Athena and challenges her to a weaving contest.
'''You'd Expect''': Arachne to realize that she's in over her head and apologize for her hubris or at least weave something sucking up to Athena as to not make her even more angry with her.

'''Instead''': Not only does she go through with the challenge, but she weaves a tapestry that blatantly mocks the gods, right in front of a goddess. Because of this blatant disrespect, Athena turns her into a spider.

'''In Addition''': In some versions the apple is put there to sow discord by Eris, the goddess of ''spite'', who for some reason the gods and Peleus thought it would be a good idea ''not'' to invite. It's not like she'll hold a grudge or anything...

'''There's more''': All of this assumes there was some sort of graceful exit to the Judgement and this myth does not mean [[MortonsFork Troy was doomed]], no matter what Paris did (ie, having chosen either Hera or Athena did not mean the other two goddesses would ally with the Greeks to end with Troy even with either Athena or Hera at Paris' side, giving it to another goddess instead, choosing someone else to impart judgement, or even splitting it into three parts and giving each one to Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite would not have supposed ''three'' powerful deities royally pissed and at best the support of whatever goddess received the apple instead, and at worst enmity too of the god(dess) chosen to decide what of the three is the most beautiful.)

* ''WhatAnIdiot/EvilliousChronicles'': Scherzer is a serial kidnapper and human trafficker from one of the manga stories. The only one who could conceivably get him caught is his financial adviser, Bogaerts, who is both in charge of his fortune and can be a whistleblower to his misdeeds should he catch on to them.\\

* ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'' Scherzer is a serial kidnapper and human trafficker from one of the manga stories. The only one who could conceivably get him caught is his financial adviser, Bogaerts, who is both in charge of his fortune and can be a whistleblower to his misdeeds should he catch on to them.
** '''You'd Expect''': For Scherzer to have some means in place to make sure Bogaerts didn't blow his secret, or to at least take care to not do anything to make Bogaerts personally angry.
** '''Instead''': He's so arrogant that he kidnaps whoever he pleases and ends up kidnapping Bogaerts' niece, which causes Bogaerts to plot his downfall.

* ''WhatAnIdiot/EvilliousChronicles''

'''Instead:''' He snaps the bamboo stick in half while it still has Wolnie's shirt on it, ripping it apart. This makes Wolnie mad at Wolffy and [[IdiotPlot causes the plot of the episode]] since he invents a sewing robot to repair the outfit; he later uses it to try to catch the goats.

* [[Music/CarrieUnderwood Carrie Underwood's]] SignatureSong "Before He Cheats". In the song, Carrie [[RefugeInAudacity trashes her ex-boyfriend's car]] as revenge for him cheating on her.\\

** The Isrealites have been wandering in the wilderness. {{God}} has clearly shown his power more than once, and gets very upset when they disobey. Which they do, often. This entry isn't that, though. This is ''special'', above and beyond. God had just gotten down smiting them ''again'' when they started to complain about missing eating meat. Manna from heaven every day (except the sabbath) just wasn't enough. So God told them that they want meat, do they? Well, they're gonna get meat. [[RadishCure So much meat that it comes out of their nostrils]] (literally what the Bible says God said) and they'll be sorry because they despised God enough to complain about not eating meat when he was giving them manna from heaven... And then a bunch of quail, enough for a month, showed up near the camp.\\

** Samson is one of the Judges of Israel. He's known for his amazing strength; not so well-known is that God has forbidden him to cut his hair. Anyway, he falls in love with a woman named Delilah, who is actually TheMole for the Philistines, the mortal enemies of Israel. At their urging, she asks him the secret of his strength. He lies to her, saying that binding him with fresh bowstrings will restrain him. However, when this is done and the Philistines attack, he breaks free with little effort.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' After the first few times the plan fails, the Philistines would either come to the conclusion that this is actually a kinky sex thing Samson and Delilah are into, or just kill Samson in his sleep. Samson's power is super-strength, not invulnerability, so if they can get into his bedroom every night this should be an obvious change of plan.\\

'''Instead:''' They keep following the evil kings' examples, and Israel is eventually taken into captivity. You know how Einstein defined stupidity at "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"? In this case, it's more like "doing the same thing many others have done and expecting different results".
