* GreenEyedMonster: [[https://notalwaysright.com/getting-shirty-shirt/106253/ This girl]] blows her top upon her boyfriend looking at another girl's chest, and refuses to hear or believe his (truthful) explanation that he was just reading her shirt(it was a parody CharacterAlignment chart).

** [[https://notalwaysright.com/fall-of-bridezilla/118156/ One "bridezilla"]] pulls her sister out of the wedding when she becomes pregnant, despite knowing that she had been trying for three years so this was always a possibility. A few months later, the mother, with tears in her eyes, says that the sister lost the baby. The bridezilla just dismisses it by saying that at least now, she can be in the wedding. [[LaserGuidedKarma The mother, now furious, announces she won't finance the wedding, and the would-be groom calls the whole thing off the next day.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** Happens occasionally, but rarely is it as satisfying as [[http://notalwaysright.com/make-rainbows-not-war/ this story]]. A homophobic player in a shooter game keeps calling the submitter slurs, angering the players on both teams, who tell him to shut up. Instead, he turns the slurs on one of his ''own'' teammates, who is also gay. His teammates respond by completely abandoning him and permitting the submitter's team to [[CurbStompBattle repeatedly kill him in game]] which frustrates him to the point he quits. The homophobic player is banned from the team since he was only filling in for his sick brother, and the gay teammate later dates the submitter.
** Comes with a side order of IWasBeatenByAGirl in [[http://notalwaysright.com/shouldnt-make-off-the-cuff-remarks/ this]] story, in which a guy with an extensive rap sheet for DomesticAbuse tries to slap around his current girlfriend for postponing a date because she was working late ... as a prison guard. [[TooDumbToLive And then he goes back to her house the next day to "teach her a lesson"]].
** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/10-reasons-why-youre-probably-better-off-without-your-ex/39160/ this story]] (the 10th one in the list), while waiting to audition for a play, a girl repeatedly insults and threatens her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend (the submitter), calling her a slut and lying that the boyfriend said his ex got him drunk and was all over him. It turns out that the ex-girlfriend is actually the director of the play the rude girl was going to audition for. [[MuggingTheMonster Whoops.]] Needless to say, the girl promptly gets kicked out of the theater (and as the cherry on top, her boyfriend dumps her three months later).

* TheMatchmaker: [[http://notalwaysright.com/cupids-arrow-doesnt-always-fly-straight/ This guy]] and his girlfriend both get hit on a lot at work, so they arrange "dates" with the people whose numbers they've received, sending one of each of theirs to the same place at the same time. Neither gets the person they were hoping for, but there's this connection between two people who [[ContrivedCoincidence just happened to be stood up in the same manner, in the same place, at the same time.]]
* MeetCute: Too many examples to list.
* {{Meganekko}}: Apparently, [[http://notalwaysright.com/how-to-start-a-relationship-make-contact/ this girl]].

* MistakenForPrankCall: This [[http://notalwaysright.com/guilty-of-perpetrating-a-prank/ not-so-savvy officer]].
** His wife must be [[TooDumbToLive pretty dumb to prank call a police station enough times to make him suspicious like that.]]
* {{Mondegreen}}: [[https://notalwaysright.com/this-artist-is-doomed/ Aya Surani?]]
* MuggingTheMonster: In [[http://notalwaysright.com/acting-out-and-kicked-out/ this story]], a girl starts badmouthing another at an audition over issues pertaining to a boy they both dated. The first girl had assumed the other was also auditioning, but it turns out that she was going to ''direct'' the play instead. As the cast would have to work closely and get along, the second girl [[LaserGuidedKarma immediately dismisses the first]], as that obviously was not going to happen between them.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[http://notalwaysright.com/stale-rice-krispie-fail/ “LET IT BE KNOWN ON THIS DAY, I HAVE FALLEN FOR THE RICE KRISPIE GODDESS!]] [[LargeHam I’LL BE BACK FOR YOOOOUUUUUUU—”]] At which point his friends drag him out of the restaurant.

* PickACard: [[http://notalwaysright.com/love-is-in-the-cards/ A truly stunning bit of sleight of hand.]] In a strange twist, he has her sign her name on the card with a Sharpie. When the card revealed isn't her card, he apologizes and walks away, and she returns to her drink...only to find that her coaster is now the card she had picked, still with her signature but also with the man's phone number on it. Three years into their marriage, he refuses to tell her how he pulled that trick off.
* PitySex: [[http://notalwaysright.com/pickup-lines-with-strong-legs/ One guy with disabilities]] tries to use this trope to hit on a waitress.
* PrecociousCrush: [[http://notalwaysright.com/espresso-ing-his-intentions-part-3/ At least he realizes he's too young now.]]
* PuppyLove: The Young Love tag is all about this.

** [[http://notalwaysright.com/a-weightless-weight-comment/ "Honey, this is probably the only time for the rest of our lives it’ll be safe for me to say this...]]
* RealityEnsues:
** Discussed [[http://notalwaysright.com/love-in-the-time-of-zombies-part-2/ here]]. A couple gets into the topic of what they would do in a zombie apocalypse. The boyfriend's response is the typical protect-his-loved-ones kind of deal. His partner, though, decides that [[BringMyBrownPants they'd be too horrified by the situation to do anything]].
** Also [[http://notalwaysright.com/till-undeath-do-us-part-part-27/ here]] - a wife, having been reading earlier stories with the name, asks her husband what he would do if she became a zombie. He responds that, since she stays at home and thus close to the arsenal, is a better shot than he is, and is a black-belt, while he works at a hospital, is chubby, and has a bad back, he cannot think of any realistic zombie scenario in which she turns before he does.
*** Similarly done [[http://notalwaysright.com/till-undeath-do-us-part-part-34/ here]], where a boyfriend asks his girlfriend the same question, and she tells him she would likely turn first, what with her working in a hospital while he lives in Texas, "where everyone already is in family clans, lives on farms, and is heavily armed". He tries to argue that this also means, if they were overrun, there would be nowhere for them to escape to - she counters, and wins the argument, by reminding him she works on the same floor as her hospital's morgue.
** And [[http://notalwaysright.com/love-in-the-time-of-no-zombies/ here]] -- the response is a straight "Zombies don't exist."
** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/hasnt-quite-got-that-killer-instinct/ this one]], the concept of MurderTheHypotenuse gets a reality check.
---> You would murder the person I love... and that's supposed to make me love you?
** A girl who doesn't want to kiss yet is dating a guy who is aggressively trying to push her to give him her first kiss. Finally, he drops the ultimatum - kiss him, or he's leaving her. [[DidntThinkThisThrough Much to his shock]], [[https://notalwaysright.com/his-fate-was-sealed-with-a-non-kiss/ she shows him the door]].
* RecursiveCrossdressing: [[http://notalwaysright.com/la-femme-lolita/ A woman pretends to be a man dressed as a woman]].
* RubberBandAI: Discussed [[http://notalwaysright.com/how-to-get-behead/ here]]. The submitter [[DisproportionateRetribution will behead anyone who suggests adding it]] to a racing game they may make at some point in the future.

* TakeThat: [[http://notalwaysright.com/not-in-a-rush-to-have-another-one/ This submitter]], after having her first baby, currently considers herself the least sexy person on the planet. Her boyfriend responds, "you are ''not'' Radio/RushLimbaugh."
* ThatCameOutWrong[=/=]ComplimentBackfire: A number of comments made to one's partner that didn't sound half as positive or romantic the speaker imagined, such as [[http://notalwaysright.com/love-is-blind/ this one]]: "But, I don't want to have my glasses on when I look at you."

** [[http://notalwaysright.com/a-silly-habibi/ This couple]] discovers the Arabic word for "my beloved" completely by accident.
** In this case, it's [[http://notalwaysright.com/going-into-a-song-and-dance-about-it/ "Our song should be 'Your Song'"]]. The submitter even references the skit.

* ZombieApocalypse: [[http://notalwaysright.com/?s=Till+Undeath+Do+Us+Part Many]], [[http://notalwaysright.com/?s=Love+In+The+Time+Of+Zombies many]] posts about it.

* EpicFail: [[http://notalwaysright.com/alls-well-that-girlfriends-well/ This man]] tries to hook up with a stranger, only to find that she's a lesbian. And his pick-up lines are terrible.

* GenreSavvy: The boyfriend in [[http://notalwaysright.com/typecast-for-a-lifetime/ this story]] guesses who the BigBad of a movie is within the first five minutes. His reasoning is that "this is a {{Lifetime movie|OfTheWeek}}, and he has a penis."
* GreenEyedMonster: [[https://notalwaysright.com/getting-shirty-shirt/106253/ This girl]] blows her top upon her boyfriend looking at another girl's chest, and refuses to hear or believe his (truthful) explanation that he was just reading her shirt(it was a parody CharacterAlignment chart). Naturally, 99% of the comments are some variant of "Dump her", since such explosive behavior can be a sign of an abusive relationship.

** [[https://notalwaysright.com/fall-of-bridezilla/118156/ One "bridezilla"]] pulls her sister out of the wedding when she becomes pregnant, despite knowing that she had been trying for three years so this was always a possibility. A few months later, the mother, with tears in her eyes, says that the sister lost the baby. The bridezilla just dismisses it by saying that at least now, she can be in the wedding. [[LaserGuidedKarma The mother, now furious, announces she won't finance the wedding, and the would-be groom calls the whole thing off the next day.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** Happens occasionally, but rarely is it as satisfying as [[http://notalwaysright.com/make-rainbows-not-war/ this story]]. A homophobic player in a shooter game keeps calling the submitter slurs, angering the players on both teams, who tell him to shut up. Instead, he turns the slurs on one of his ''own'' teammates, who is also gay. His teammates respond by completely abandoning him and permitting the submitter's team to [[CurbStompBattle repeatedly kill him in game]] which frustrates him to the point he quits. The homophobic player is banned from the team since he was only filling in for his sick brother, and the gay teammate later dates the submitter.
** Comes with a side order of IWasBeatenByAGirl in [[http://notalwaysright.com/shouldnt-make-off-the-cuff-remarks/ this]] story, in which a guy with an extensive rap sheet for DomesticAbuse tries to slap around his current girlfriend for postponing a date because she was working late ... as a prison guard. [[TooDumbToLive And then he goes back to her house the next day to "teach her a lesson"]].
** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/10-reasons-why-youre-probably-better-off-without-your-ex/39160/ this story]] (the 10th one in the list), while waiting to audition for a play, a girl repeatedly insults and threatens her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend (the submitter), calling her a slut and lying that the boyfriend said his ex got him drunk and was all over him. It turns out that the ex-girlfriend is actually the director of the play the rude girl was going to audition for. [[MuggingTheMonster Whoops.]] Needless to say, the girl promptly gets kicked out of the theater (and as the cherry on top, her boyfriend dumps her three months later).

* TheMatchmaker: [[http://notalwaysright.com/cupids-arrow-doesnt-always-fly-straight/ This guy]] and his girlfriend both get hit on a lot at work, so they arrange "dates" with the people whose numbers they've received, sending one of each of theirs to the same place at the same time. Neither gets the person they were hoping for, but there's this connection between two people who [[ContrivedCoincidence just happened to be stood up in the same manner, in the same place, at the same time.]]

* MuggingTheMonster: In [[http://notalwaysright.com/acting-out-and-kicked-out/ this story]], a girl starts badmouthing another at an audition over issues pertaining to a boy they both dated. The first girl had assumed the other was also auditioning, but it turns out that she was going to ''direct'' the play instead. As the cast would have to work closely and get along, the second girl [[LaserGuidedKarma immediately dismisses the first]], as that obviously was not going to happen between them.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[http://notalwaysright.com/stale-rice-krispie-fail/ “LET IT BE KNOWN ON THIS DAY, I HAVE FALLEN FOR THE RICE KRISPIE GODDESS!]] [[LargeHam I’LL BE BACK FOR YOOOOUUUUUUU—”]] At which point his friends drag him out of the restaurant.

When the card revealed isn't her card, he apologizes and walks away, and she returns to her drink...only to find that her coaster is now the card she had picked, still with her signature but also with the man's phone number on it. Three years into their marriage, he refuses to tell her how he pulled that trick off.

* RealityEnsues:
** Discussed [[http://notalwaysright.com/love-in-the-time-of-zombies-part-2/ here]]. A couple gets into the topic of what they would do in a zombie apocalypse. The boyfriend's response is the typical protect-his-loved-ones kind of deal. His partner, though, decides that [[BringMyBrownPants they'd be too horrified by the situation to do anything]].
** Also [[http://notalwaysright.com/till-undeath-do-us-part-part-27/ here]] - a wife, having been reading earlier stories with the name, asks her husband what he would do if she became a zombie. He responds that, since she stays at home and thus close to the arsenal, is a better shot than he is, and is a black-belt, while he works at a hospital, is chubby, and has a bad back, he cannot think of any realistic zombie scenario in which she turns before he does.
*** Similarly done [[http://notalwaysright.com/till-undeath-do-us-part-part-34/ here]], where a boyfriend asks his girlfriend the same question, and she tells him she would likely turn first, what with her working in a hospital while he lives in Texas, "where everyone already is in family clans, lives on farms, and is heavily armed". He tries to argue that this also means, if they were overrun, there would be nowhere for them to escape to - she counters, and wins the argument, by reminding him she works on the same floor as her hospital's morgue.
** And [[http://notalwaysright.com/love-in-the-time-of-no-zombies/ here]] -- the response is a straight "Zombies don't exist."
** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/hasnt-quite-got-that-killer-instinct/ this one]], the concept of MurderTheHypotenuse gets a reality check.
---> You would murder the person I love... and that's supposed to make me love you?
** A girl who doesn't want to kiss yet is dating a guy who is aggressively trying to push her to give him her first kiss. Finally, he drops the ultimatum - kiss him, or he's leaving her. [[DidntThinkThisThrough Much to his shock]], [[https://notalwaysright.com/his-fate-was-sealed-with-a-non-kiss/ she shows him the door]].
