The submitter is the only one who knows where the planned stop is, so they and their family pack up their kayaks and leave, rescheduling the food and live band as a private party at night, and leaving the organizer to try to salvage the event in some way.
** [[https://notalwaysright.com/bad-people-come-in-stolen-packages/169314/ This new neighbor]] kept harassing the submitter because she was convinced he was a teen thief that stole her packages despite the submitter only taking packages address to his home. Despite all the evidence he shows, and later the police explaining to the crazy lady that he didn't steal anything from her, the neighbor refuses to accept the truth, accuses the submitter of lying to the police and demanding he "confess" his crime and pay a $500 compensation. Eventually, the crazy neighbor was arrested and sent to jail for disregarding a court order not to harass the submitter again; and because she was the sole breadwinner, her family (who also helped the crazy lady harass the submitter) was forced to move out as they couldn't afford to remain in the home without her.

He decides to do the same to a man building an inukshuk of his own, kicking the inukshuk over as the second guy's about to place a rather large stone in place, and nearly kicking the second man in the face. In retaliation, [[https://notalwaysright.com/i-bust-the-windows-out-your-car/230906/ the second guy throws the large stone he was holding through the windshield of first guy's truck.]]
** Another driver honks and flips off the submitter [[https://notalwaysright.com/stalled-car-ma/239969/ here]] for accidentally stalling their car's engine... then accidentally stalls his

''[[YouKnowImBlackRight The police officer she's talking to is Hispanic]]'', which she only realizes when he asks the kid for their side of the story in Spanish, [[OhCrap after she's already yelled racial slurs about them]]. Then somebody asks her, in front of the police, who's watching her ''small children in the swimming pool''. [[HumiliationConga The ensuing child endangerment investigation forces her to move out of the neighborhood three weeks later]].

** [[https://notalwaysright.com/its-payback-time-literally/154644/ This roommate]] flagrantly puts off paying the submitter's relative money she owes him for a vacation she and her fellow money-stricken friends took, [[BlatantLies claiming that she had her own bills to pay]] when in reality [[SkewedPriorities she's spending money on manicures, fandom memorabilia, and other things for herself]]. It takes the submitter threatening to return the four $60 anime figures the roommate just bought for the roommate to finally begrudgingly pay the money she owes the submitter's relative. It unfortunately doesn't end there, as [[DownerEnding the story ends with]] the submitter in trouble with their relative and the roommate [[KarmaHoudini getting petty revenge by moving out and taking all of the food with her]], leaving the submitter and the remaining roommate without their own food for two weeks.
** [[https://notalwaysright.com/the-nightmare-birthday-before-halloween/160808/ This friend]] tries to strong-arm the submitter into attending her birthday party taking place on Halloween (even though her birthday is mid-November) even though the submitter has a prior commitment, namely, chaperoning their little brother and his friends as they go trick-or-treating, which the friend doesn't think is more important than her (not) birthday party. It eventually reaches the point where the friend says that she hopes the friend gets mugged or hit by a car for daring to prioritize making sure their brother has a safe Halloween over not attending her party and later tries to manipulate the submitter into attending anyway, and it's implied that she insults the little brother and his friends the next morning at school while laying into the submitter for not attending the party. Unsurprisingly, the submitter ends their friendship very quickly.
** [[https://notalwaysright.com/pretty-high-and-mighty-for-someone-who-works-in-a-dungeon/184644/ This online D&D GM]] whose online D&D story the submitter attempts to join seems to only want to play on their own terms while rejecting any suggestions or character concepts that conflict with that (or bending them to fit said terms) or kicking/blocking any players who can't or won't play by their rules. The submitter later finds out that the GM got so frustrated with the other players (presumably because they wouldn't unanimously conform to the way the GM wanted to play or [[{{Railroading}} kept doing things the GM didn't want them to do]]) that they kicked ''everyone'' out of the game and blocked them.
** [[https://notalwaysright.com/a-cardboard-box-under-the-overpass-is-starting-to-look-real-nice/193422/ This selfish roommate]] uses her minor disability as an excuse to not share her bedroom with another roommate and paying only half her rent while the submitter and her friend still had to pay their rent in full. And when the submitter's friend leaves after having an argument with the roommate, making rent unaffordable, the selfish roommate has a "brilliant idea" of solving their rent problems by inviting two new roommates and giving them the submitter's room without her input while the submitter sleeps in the living room behind a shower curtain. This act is the last straw for the submitter, and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere she decides to move out]]. However, [[EvilIsPetty the roommate]] demands that the submitter continue paying her rent for a year even though they never made a contract, and when the submitter won't budge, the roommate keeps badmouthing and harassing the submitter and her mother! Thankfully, this last act gets the attention of the Dean who orders the roommate to stop harassing the submitter under threat of expulsion.
** [[https://notalwaysright.com/sometimes-you-have-to-cut-the-line/214034/ The submitter in this story]] realises how much of a selfish jerk her longtime friend has become when she refuses to respect and criticize the submitter's likes and hobbies, yet expects the submitter to respect hers. She also calls the submitter childish for not liking fish, even though the taste of fish makes the submitter gag and lose her appetite. These incidents, along with her insincere apologies, lead the submitter to end their friendship, block her number, and never call her again.
** After moving to a new house, [[https://notalwaysright.com/we-wont-be-pooling-our-efforts/242905/ the submitter's neighbor]] expects the submitter to continue building a pool that was abandoned by the previous owner (which the submitter plans to fill it up since they're not interested of having a pool) since he wants the pool for his kids and doesn't want to build it himself.
** [[https://notalwaysright.com/that-lady-is-one-rotten-tomato/264294/ This neighbor]] throws a fit when she can no longer steal the submitter's tomatoes (they having been moved indoors), going so far as to claim that they're hers and ''demand their own key so they can collect them''.
** [[https://notalwaysright.com/these-boots-were-made-for-really-gross-popsicles/276474/ This backpacker]] puts her hiking boots in a freezer in order to kill the bacteria that make her feet "stink heaps". She can't understand why the people who store ''food'' in said freezer are disgusted by this, and gets irate at the suggestion she should simply store them outside. (And as pointed out in the comments, [[ArtisticLicenseBiology it wouldn't work anyway]] -- most of the bacteria would simply go dormant, and since the boots would be wet when thawed, she's just encouraging them to grow.) She then throws in a bit of casual racism for good measure.
** [[https://notalwaysright.com/this-is-why-no-one-likes-you/284477/ This guy]] joins a group of friends in their outings and get-togethers and promptly attempts to seize control of everything the group does, from what music they listen to to what games they play, and pushes them into doing activities that he is the only one interested in doing. The last straw happens when he shows up to the submitter's birthday party uninvited and tries to force the group to get drunk with him over poker games, to the point of turning off the TV in the middle of the group's intense ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' race to demand the group do so. At this point, the friend who originally invited him to join their group in the first place finally tells him to stop trying to make everything about him, resulting in the guy sitting around pouting for a while before quietly slinking out the door, never being heard from by the group again afterward.
