* LaserGuidedKarma: Squidward gets injured with the cash register to receive his worker's comp, only to end up missing it since his shift was already over. It's definitely deserved since he was a massive jerk to [=SpongeBob=] throughout the episode.

* InsufferableImbecile: Patrick thought that ''smashing the splinter further into [=SpongeBob=]'s thumb'' and then ''putting garbage on his thumb'' would help stop it from swelling, and when [=SpongeBob=] rightfully complains to Patrick about it, he thinks that [=SpongeBob=] doesn't want his help despite the fact that he was ''worsening'' the problem.

* JerkassBall:
** While Squidward was never exactly a saint, he's much crueler than usual. He ridicules [=SpongeBob=] over his injury and terrorizes him by claiming he would have to be sent home for it. Fortunately, he does get his comeuppance at the end of the episode.
** Patrick not only acts callously toward [=SpongeBob=]'s predicament but actually makes things worse before leaving. Unlike Squidward, [[IdiotHoudini he gets away with it]].

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Sea sponges' body parts grow back if they fall off. Had [=SpongeBob=] just removed the arm with the splinter in it so a new one could grow in its place, the entire episode might have been avoided.
