2
3	[[AC: These StockCharacters and people are looking for trouble.]]
4	[[index]]

6	* BloodKnight: Someone who wants to fight at any cost.
7	* BoisterousBruiser: Someone who has no problem with fighting and is capable of doing so
8	* BountyHunter: He (or [[SamusIsAGirl she]]) is almost always around for a reason... and that reason [[Anime/CowboyBebop or the bounty hunters' zeal in going after it]] will ruin your establishment or your day...

10	* DeathSeeker: Someone who wants to die at any cost, but not necessarily by their own hand.
11	* TheFundamentalist: Someone who wants you to believe and practice their belief, and only their belief.
12	* HeteronormativeCrusader: If you're anything but straight, this person will ruin your day at best and your life at worst.
13	* HiredGuns: Whether they are [[BountyHunter Bounty Hunters]], [[ProfessionalKiller Professional Killers]], PrivateMilitaryContractors, or just plain [[{{Mooks}} hired thugs]], they'll cause all sorts of trouble for whoever's willing to pay.

21	* PowderKegCrowd: Slightly different from the AngryMob, but can become it with just the slightest spark...
22	* OmnicidalManiac: They want to kill anything and everything.
23	* Organized criminals in general: When the GangBangers, TheMafia, TheMafiya, MurderInc, TheTriadsAndTheTongs, and/or the {{Yakuza}} (or even just TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily) show up, you know there's going to be trouble. And if they're all converging on one location, it's probably going to be a BlastOut ''at best.''
24	* SerialKiller: Someone who wants to kill people.
25	* SlobsVersusSnobs: When both sides of the tracks meet, they can come to blows.

32	[[AC: This place is just bad news.]]
33	[[index]]
34	* BadGuyBar: A place where troublemakers of various sorts congregate
35	* [[DinerBrawl Diners]]: Because why just have dinner when you can have a fight with dinner?
36	* The combination of CrapsackWorld and EmpathicEnvironment: Everyone feels like crap, and wants to take it out on someone else.
37	* {{Cyberbullying}}: Welcome to the internet, where anyone can hurt you anonymously and make your social media life a living hell.

57	* [[NukeEm Nuclear Weapons]]: if one ever gets set off, war (and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt) will ensue
58	* [[BanOnPolitics Politics]]: There is a reason why it's banned or heavily restricted as a topic of discussion pretty much anywhere that it's not the only topic of discussion. Religion is very, very close to it. Combining the two will almost always lead to fights.
59	* ThePlague: A devastating disease can drive societies to chaos as people left and right drop like flies.
60	* PostPeakOil: Restricting modern society from one of the most, if not ''the'' most important substance can lead to a complete breakdown and collapse of it.
61	* SealedEvilInACan: Probably one of the very first examples. Opening it is not a good idea. And yet of course someone will...
62	* TerminallyDependentSociety: Society depends so much on a particular {{Phlebotinum}} or {{MacGuffin}} that not being able to use it or not having it anymore will cause (or at least majorly contribute to) the collapse of that society.

65	[[AC: Why did you have to [[InvokedTrope invoke that?]]]]
66	[[index]]
67	* Any of the "All X are Y" tropes. This includes such tropes as AllGaysArePedophiles - stating straight belief in them around anyone who is part of the X group but not the Y group will almost always start a fight (or at least lead to very uncomfortable silence)
68	* AxesAtSchool: Unless it's a school of warfare (and even then sometimes) bringing a weapon into school will cause major trouble. (Hello, AxCrazy!)
69	* CommieNazis: Conflate "Commies" and "Nazis" to a Russian who remembers how hard the Communists fought the Nazis (or to any other anti-fascist Communist or Marxist, specifically, Soviet Russia lost ''more'' civilians and soldiers and did ''more'' of the on the ground fighting of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII than the USA, and ''many'' anti-Fascist/anti-Nazi movements exist among Marxists), get anything from slapped to a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
70	* FistOfRage: Something is making someone angry, and their clenched fist signals they may well be seeking vengeance.
71	* GunsInChurch: In some settings, and in MOST settings in RealLife, openly carrying or especially brandishing a firearm will lead to an arrest, a fight, or sudden death.
72	* MurderIsTheBestSolution: If someone decides to invoke this, of course there will be conflict.
73	* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Can start a war. Sometimes literally.
74	* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: One decides to set things right despite what the law says, even if it means killing someone to save another
75	** In fact, many Screw The Rules Trope involves this, whenever it's due to [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections having connections]], [[ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful the looks]], and/or [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney the money]]. The worst one, someone who [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem actually make the them]].
76	* StayInTheKitchen: Invoking this to most women who don't believe in it will start a fight
77	* StrawmanPolitical: Invoking this will almost always start a fight
78	* UrbanHellscape: A look TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, where the city is infested with violent criminals, and the police are either too ineffectual to stop them or can only do so by being that much more brutal.
79	* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: Obviously, if someone thinks this, there is going to be violence.
