Peteman: What is the difference between this and Fiction Isn't Fair, or Can't Get Away with Nuthin'
Glidergun: This vs. Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Everyone else gets away with everything, but as soon as you try to cash in the hammer falls.
This is sometimes a specific type of Fiction Isn't Fair, if the crazy stuff that other people are getting away with is ignored by the hammerdropper, but it could just be that you were the only one who got noticed.
Sabre Justice: I think the original name for this trope could be a strong contender for Worst Trope Name Ever.
