* WebAnimation/RevengeFilms:
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4PBw70oZf8&feature=youtu.be My dad was screwing my wife. My mom was congratulating them...]]": Jill willingly sleeps with her father-in-law in a desperate attempt to have a baby, even hoping her husband Jack would happily raise the resulting child even after he catches them red-handed. Understandably, he throws her out [[spoiler:even when her in-laws reject her after finding out she's infertile. After his father is arrested for attempting to rape his other daughter-in-law, Jill tries to get her ex back by claiming the man raped her, but Jack recorded her previous statement of deliberately cheating on him]]. In the end, Jill's wish for a baby ruined her life due to her failure to realize her husband wouldn't go along with her plans but instead would be disgusted with her.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4_jWB6CyWY&t=329s She ruined her own wedding by revealing all sorts of stories about her past]]": Taylor exposes her entire past (where she was sexually assaulted when she was 12, had multiple affairs and abortions as a high schooler and had another affair before meeting her groom) at her own wedding, hoping everyone would feel sympathetic for her. Needless to say, the groom immediately tore up their marriage certificate and filed for alimony.

* ''WebAnimation/TroubleBusters'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6CvwYPExcA "Sister and her husband try to use a fake will to inherit from her grandmother, but I know better..."]]: Meghan and Seth forged her late grandmother's last will to have their hands on the inheritance and kick Melanie out. This becomes the greedy young couple's undoing as forging private official documents is fraud, screwing Meghan out of receiving some of the inheritance money. Moreover, the reason they wanted the money was to pay off the loans taken to fund both the development of Seth's videogame and luxuries for Meghan. To top it off, Meghan thought that Grandma Thalia's death exempted her from paying her off only to learn that Melanie would collect the debt in the deceased's place. As a result, the couple ends up destitute, homeless, and with a criminal record.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztAOZqPsHIk "My younger sister bragged about stealing my husband..."]]: Erika sleeps with a CEO named Noah ''despite being in her teens'' to spite her older sister [[TheUnfavorite Hailey]] and live a luxurious life in her place. However, she didn't know that Noah was Hailey's stalker, and therefore used a picture of him instead of her actual fiancé to lead her away. Moreover, while Noah ''is'' a CEO, his laziness, [[MsRedInk overspending]], and [[GamblingRuinsLives gambling addiction]] undermines it. To top it off, it's revealed that Noah embezzled and borrowed from loan sharks, tricking the [=McCormicks=] into signing up as joint guarantors. As a result, Erika screws herself and her family over [[spoiler:as both Noah and her mom are experimented on for a cure, her father [[DefeatMeansMenialLabor becomes a janitor]] and gets executed for [[BullyingADragon shooting the gang's boss]], and she is [[BreedingSlave constantly forced to give birth]] for childless couples around the world]].

* In ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' where the Princess of Hell Charlie decided to go on the news to reveal her plan of The Happy Hotel: the hotel that reform sinners. There was many things she didn't think of like:
** When she first talks about her plans, she sees how nobody has a reaction for it and, having not anticipated no interest at all, keeps awkwardly explaining it.
** Trying to drum up interest and also against her girlfriend Vaggie's wishes, she decides to sing out her idea. After singing her idea, everybody in the studio laughs at Charlie. Charlie sadly realizes not even singing her idea would make people interested. Even Katie Killjoy points out nobody ''in Hell'' cares about being a good person.
** When Charlie tries to brag that their first client Angel Dust has been going clean for two weeks, she doesn't realize that a demon redeeming themself would take more than two weeks because the news station finds out that Angel joined a turf war.
** When Alastor comes to help, he asks Charlie about the hotel staff. Charlie points to Vaggie being the manager and staff. Alastor tells Charlie that she needs more than Vaggie to run the hotel.

* A common plot in ''Website/NotAlwaysRight''/''Website/NotAlwaysWorking'' goes like this: Entitled Person (demanding customer or PointyHairedBoss) demands something from Put-Upon Employee. Put-Upon Employee informs Entitled Person that whatever they're asking for is a bad idea for whatever reason. Entitled Person [[IgnoredExpert ignores Put-Upon Employee's advice]], usually rudely insisting that Put-Upon Employee do ''exactly'' as they're told, if not outright threatening them. Put-Upon Employee does the thing, hopefully after making Entitled Person sign a paper trail. Entitled Person either flounces off having tricked their way into being more inconvenienced than usual or sees the results of their demands and usually pitches a fit and [[NeverMyFault blames Put-Upon Employee for not trying harder to stop them]]. Put-Upon Employee deals with the results of said tantrum (hopefully by having enough evidence to put the blame firmly on Entitled Person), then posts the story to the forum.
