* Mark's withdrawal is horrifying for the most part, though it becomes more tearjerky once you imagine how his parents, who made him go cold turkey as a form of ToughLove, must feel about hearing him scream in agony and not being able to do a thing about it.

* When Mark and his friends and parents are celebrating his suspended sentence, Spud's mom arrives and chides Mark for not helping Spud more, leaving the party on a sour note. [[{{Jerkass}} Begbie]] makes it worse by chewing out the poor woman for 'not raising Spud right.'

* In the chapter "Na Na and Other Nazis", Spud recounts the trouble that his mixed-race uncle Dode has had with racism growing up, particularly an event when he and Spud went to a pub and were soon assaulted by white power skinheads saying slogans such as "ain't no black in the Union Jack". This abuse led to a fight, which left Dode hospitalised, where Spud visits him. "I've had worse in the past and I'll have worse in the future" Dode tells Spud, who begs him not to say such things.

* In the chapter "London Crawling", Renton befriends an Italian man named Gi, who tells him the tragedy of his life — how he had a wife and children who he cared about deeply, yet he could not help falling in love with his brother in law Antonio. After their affair was revealed the two suffered extremely violent homophobic abuse at the hands of Antonio's brothers, leading his lover to kill himself. At a party, Renton notes sadly how frightened and confused Gi looks whilst lamenting the behaviour of the drugged and sexed up party revellers.
* In the chapter "The Elusive Mr Hunt", Renton laughs at Sick Boy's prank phone call to Kelly, until he realises she has tears in her eyes. At first he thinks she is being silly and shouldn't take the laughter to heart, but then he recognises the laughter from the men in the pub isn't friendly.
-->It's not funny laughter. This is lynch mob laughter. How was ah tae know, he thinks. How the fuck was ah tae know?
