** [[https://notalwaysright.com/nacho-nachos/330585/ This new hire]] sees the submitter eating nachos on their lunchbreak and throws a tantrum when he discovers that they don't intend to share, a tantrum which he then takes to the boss, because his mother would ''always'' share his lunch with him when he visited her office and he appears to now expect this of everyone else. He subsequently quits after he's sent home for swearing at the boss during his rant, stating that he doesn't see anything wrong with his behavior, and that [[NeverMyFault the submitter is the entitled one]] for not sharing.

** And for a hat trick, [[https://notalwaysright.com/he-has-a-severe-allergy-to-being-ignored/246242/ this co-worker]] acts like a jerk to staff and customers alike – accruing more than ''three hundred-and-two complaints'' within six months from customers alone – and calling mommy and daddy and claiming discrimination when people complain. His KarmaHoudiniWarranty expires when he jabs the submitter with their [=EpiPen=] [[DisproportionateRetribution just for ignoring him]]. This incident winds up with him fired, arrested for assault, and served a restraining order by the submitter.

** [[https://notalwaysright.com/unable-to-show-a-little-restraint/63559/ This woman]] has a restraining order against the submitter's co-worker, and tries to get him fired by applying for jobs at the same places he works in hopes that it'll force the co-worker's bosses to fire him so they can hire her. And at the end of the story, it's revealed that she already has a stable job; she's applying to those other jobs ''just'' to ruin the co-worker's life. Thankfully, as it turns out, [[LaserGuidedKarma she may have voided her own restraining order by applying]].

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: [[https://notalwaysright.com/drunk-guys-will-pay-anything-for-pizza/142550/ These drunk guys]] all pay the pizza man a twenty for their pizza without taking it, each seeming to think that the guy before him didn't (some walking by and paying a twenty more than once!). The pizza guy tries to explain, but the last drunk guy simply takes the pizza and slams the door in his face. The pizza guy ended up leaving with a "tip" totaling more than $300!

** A worker mentioned in [[https://notalwaysright.com/courage-under-fire-part-2/75974/ this story]] had ''drug''-induced idiocy, as when he accidentally set off the burglar alarm (something apparently every new hire in the restaurant has done), he got worried the cops would find out he was on drugs and tried to ''rip the alarm off the wall''. He would subsequently be fired.
