** [[https://notalwaysright.com/no-judgments-but-you-were-speeding/130812/ A woman gets a ticket for speeding]], but the policeman immediately gives up after learning she works for a local law firm owned by the local head judge (and is on a FirstNameBasis with her boss), which could be interpreted in several ways:
### Said judge is known for being corrupt, so the policeman thought it wouldn't be worth the effort since the ticket would be cancelled anyway.
### Since the woman is on FirstNameBasis with the local head judge (or at least claims to be), the policeman assumes that she'll try to pull a ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections.
### Said judge would have been the prosecutor for the speeding offence. Since he also is the woman's boss, that would create a conflict of interest, so the policeman destroyed the ticket to avoid some administrative headache.
### The driver ''didn't'' deserve this ticket, and the policeman was a DirtyCop who backed down once he learned the woman worked in a law firm (since she would have noticed this was fishy).
** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/if-the-accident-doesnt-kill-you-these-random-busybodies-will/201149/ this story]], the submitter gets in a car accident when the driver in front of the submitter abruptly slams on their brakes, causing the car behind her to rear-end the submitter. When the police are on the scene, two random busybodies who witnessed the accident suddenly rush up and try to make it seem like the submitter was at fault for the accident (when it is very obvious that the driver in front was at fault). While the police and the rear-ender prove the ladies' accusations incorrect, the submitter is left baffled as to why the two randomly decided to throw her under the bus. The comments theorize that the accident was actually an attempted ''insurance scam'' that the first driver and women were in on: the first driver meant to brake-check the submitter and blame them for the resulting accident, and the women were supposed to back the driver up to make the submitter look guilty and pay the insurance money. However, the submitter not hitting the driver's car along with [[SpannerInTheWorks the third driver unexpectedly hitting the submitter]] caused the scam [[GoneHorriblyWrong to go completely pear-shaped]], which resulted in [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere the driver fleeing]] and the women trying to salvage the scheme.

*** The "you’re not represented by anybody else" bit means the defendant has no lawyer yet. Some comments have interpreted the dialog as the defendant checking whereas they should have their own lawyer for the case, and the part where the defendant decide to not come after being told it would make them lose the case could mean they would send a lawyer instead.

The comments point out that while actions he took earlier in the story (getting too close to female students and watching explicit videos in class) were over the line, flirting with a woman his own age with no pre-established relationship whom he likely wouldn't have realized was the mother of an ex-student in and of itself is merely awkward.

** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/if-the-accident-doesnt-kill-you-these-random-busybodies-will/201149/ this story]], the submitter gets in a car accident when the driver in front of the submitter abruptly slams on their brakes, causing the car behind her to rear-end the submitter. When the police are on the scene, two random busybodies who witnessed the accident suddenly rush up and try to make it seem like the submitter was at fault for the accident (when it is very obvious that the driver in front was at fault). While the police and the rear-ender prove the ladies' accusations incorrect, the submitter is left baffled as to why the two randomly decided to throw her under the bus. The comments theorize that the accident was actually an attempted ''insurance scam'' that the first driver and women were in on: the first driver meant to brake-check the submitter and blame them for the resulting accident, and the women were supposed to back the driver up to make the submitter look guilty and pay the insurance money. However, the submitter not hitting the driver's car along with [[SpannerInTheWorks the third driver unexpectedly hitting the submitter]] caused the scam [[GoneHorriblyWrong to go completely pear-shaped]], which resulted in [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere the driver fleeing]] and the women trying to salvage the scheme.

** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/treating-people-like-a-zero-makes-you-lose-count-of-them/215051/ this story]], a pizza boy is insulted by a cranky drunk man to whom he just delivered a pizza, and afterwards discovers that the man [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy inadvertently gave him a hundred dollar bill instead of a ten when paying him]]. The pizza boy then decides to pay the drunk man back for insulting him by taking the drunk man telling him to "keep the change" [[ExactWords at the man's word]], even though the drunk man turns out to be lucid enough to realize he is missing one hundred dollars and call the pizza place's manager, but the pizza boy swaps the hundred out for a ten before getting there so the manager would think the drunk man was just being a jerk. Unsurprisingly, the pizza boy was ripped a new one in the comments for essentially stealing ninety dollars from a customer (even if said customer was undeniably a huge {{Jerkass}}) and then lying to his manager about it.

** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/now-we-want-to-know-what-the-first-guy-did/284874/ this story]], a customer who cancelled an installation threatens to kill the technician who previously serviced him if he returns to his house. The comments note that there's no context for this situation or how warranted the threat is (i.e. it could be anywhere from "I don't want a [racist slur] in my house" to "this guy tried to look up my daughter's skirt").

** In [[https://notalwaysright.com/that-students-a-real-shead/279324/ this story]], a policeman picks up an extremely drunk student to take him back to his dorm. The student climbs in, accidentally sits on the policeman's hat (which the policeman had thrown into the back seat), and it quickly becomes clear that the student is so drunk that [[BringMyBrownPants he has soiled himself]] and has now ruined the hat, prompting the policeman to kick the student out of his cruiser. Many comments criticized the policeman for kicking the student out of his cruiser when the kid was still falling-down drunk and in no condition to walk back home himself. Not helping matters is that the submitter, a fellow police officer, does not seem at all concerned about what happened to the drunk student either.

While it is understandable for them to be angry with the girls for skipping school to fool around with their older boyfriends, some commenters were uncomfortable with the way they started immediately yelling and berating the girls after finding them at the police station, with one of the mothers even throwing a book bag across the room. It has been pointed out that such a reaction, rather than [[ScareEmStraight scaring the girls away from ever doing such things again]], might make them less likely to come to their parents for help the next time they were in trouble, which could potentially make things even worse. Not to mention that their boyfriends in question were in their 20s, which would make the girls victims of statutory rape.
