*** Ocelot makes it very clear in Chapter 63 that their help was utterly unwarranted and that they were lucky their boneheaded stunt didn't get themselves, All Might or anyone else killed. As punishment, they have to clean the entire campus for three months, or lose any chance of getting a hero license.

Upon finding a gift in there, she promptly steals it with the intent of delivering it to Adrien on Marinette's behalf -- after all, who could it ''possibly'' be for other than her crush?! Kagami catches and calls her out on not only invading Marinette's privacy, but leaping to assumptions based off her TheoryTunnelvision and "helping" without being asked for her assistance.
** During ''Birds of a Feather'', Luka tries to help Marinette by visiting the bakery and informing her mother about how she was [[spoiler:called to the principal's office]], trying to explain ''HER'' [[OneSideOfTheStory side of the story]] on her behalf. Marinette doesn't take this well, since she's far too used to ''[[ManipulativeBitch Lila]]'' twisting the facts around -- while Luka was trying to counteract that, he still took the chance to explain herself away from her without intending to.
** Later on in the same arc, Alya decides that she's going to help Lila find ''just'' the right club to join, regardless of how little her bestie actually ''wants'' her help. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:while she's secretly doing this to try manipulating the manipulator, her recruiting Rose for help has the unintentional side-effect of Rose discovering Felix's ballet troupe]].

* ''Fanfic/{{Greenfire}}'': Briefly when Rarity argues for an outside picnic as Greenfire tries to hide her on the day a knight comes trying murder Greenfire. This obviously drops when she meets the knight.
* Celestia trying to save TD at the start of ''[[FanFic/TheNonBronyverse No, I Am NOT a Brony, GET ME OUTTA EQUESTRIA!!!]]'' ends up kicking off the plot when it traps him in Equestria. Later in the sequels, TD's pet phoenix also has a habit of trying to help, but ends up causing even more trouble for TD.

'''Robin:''' [[PullTheThread Actually... Those jewels were always intended for you, so really, all you're doing is taking my gift a little early.]]\\
'''Nami:''' STOP HELPING ME!
