'''Instead''': Hank brushes him off and starts up the RV once all the tanks are installed. It quickly becomes clear that the RV is going to explode, and Nick quickly warns Hank to vacate (which, again, prevents Nick from being the stupid one despite all this).
'''You'd Then Expect''': That the flames bursting out of his RV would convince Hank to take Nick's advice and run for it. His RV's not worth his life.

** One of the side missions sees Nick helping a guy named Hank, whose RV has just broken down on one of the bridges at Los Perdidos. Nick offers to help fix it up, explaining that he's a mechanic. Hank takes him up on his offer and asks Nick to grab him an acetylene tank and a propane tank. Nick reluctantly complies, but continuously warns Hank that this isn't a good idea, especially when he has to retrieve a gasoline can to finish it. (Note that Nick actually going through with this doesn't technically make him stupid, as he does try to warn Hank multiple times hoping he'll see reason).\\
'''You'd Expect''': That Hank would see reason, since Nick did just explain that he's a mechanic and thus would know what he's talking about.\\

** Another survivor named Troy has just been conned into selling his daughter's locket. Nick offers to get it back from the con man, known as Kent. He finds Kent and his bodyguard Jesse and tries to get Kent to hand over the locket peacefully.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Kent implies that he's just acting pragmatically, which is fair enough in a zombie-infested city. So the sight of a guy who is likely toting some serious weaponry politely asking for a small trinket back without violence would convince him to just hand it over. It's not like he can make money in this situation when he himself admits there's no way out of the city.\\
'''Instead''': He insists Nick show him respect and tries to enforce that with Jesse's help. Nick is forced to kill Kent in self-defense and takes the locket back anyway.
'''Even Worse''': If Jesse is still alive when Kent dies, he quits then and there and sides with Nick. So much for respect.

** In the very beginning, Frank West confronts a number of survivors in the mall. One of them is an old lady who's looking for her lost dog. A few moments later, it finally shows up - on the other side of the barricaded doors, barking, clearly zombified.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' The lady to forget about it and keep back. The dog had been affected!\\

** Before the events of the game, it was revealed that Laura had greatly opposed much of Ingen's contingency plans for the dinosaurs, such to the extent that the management team took notice.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That the management team outright bring this up to Laura and have her fired. It's possible she's under contract and they could force her to sign an NDA, and they could easily sue her into oblivion for breaking said contract.\\
'''Instead:''' [[ReassignedToAntartica They merely relocate her to her own private laboratory, where she can do her own research]].\\
'''As A Result:''' Still upset at the contingency plans, [[spoiler: Laura comes up with the idea for the anti-lysine contingency serum, and is able to work on it undetected.]]
** Relating to the above, it was revealed that Laura had bred and raised a bunch of Troodon, raptor-like dinosaurs that had venomous bites and were considered to be too dangerous. After the failed escape of the Big One, Hammond (who, [[HypoCrite funnily enough, didn't want to kill the raptors at all]]), the orders the Troodon euthanized.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That knowing how much Laura wants to keep anything alive even if it's dangerous, he send in personnel to restrain Laura and kill the Troodon themselves.\\
'''Instead:''' Hammond merely tells Laura herself that they need to be euthanized, and trusts that she'll do it.\\
'''As A Result:''' [[spoiler: Laura decides to study them in secret, and that in itself results in Nima being bit by one and nearly dying, and it eventually results in Billy finally losing his patience with Laura after the Troodons have made a nest out of D-Caf and causing his FaceHeelTurn.]]
