** Thelma is technically cheating when she dances with Harlan, but because her husband is shown to be a possessive asshole, she's shown sympathetically. She stops short of kissing, and even tries to fend Harlan off with "I'm married". Louise also says this will count against her if the matter goes to court - as a prosecutor would try to paint a rape victim as a liar trying to cover up her infidelity.
** Thelma sleeping with JD later is considered AOK by the narrative because she has symbolically ended her relationship with Darryl - even if not legally.

** Louise has one that kicks off the plot. She has no good reason to kill Harlan when she does. He'd released Thelma, was no longer a threat to them, and both were walking away from him. He just happened to push her BerserkButton with his insults. Doing it that way meant there'd be little chance of claiming self defense (as she later points out), and fleeing the scene just made things worse.
** Just days after almost being raped by a guy she just met, Thelma insists they give a ride to a guy she just met, then invites him into her motel room. Even after he admits he's an ex-con and armed robber, she still leaves him alone with all their money, which he promptly steals. So to get the money back, Thelma robs a convenience store, bringing more attention on them, and getting them charged with more crimes. To make matters worse, she even told J.D. they were heading to Mexico, which he then tells the police.
