!! ''Rodrick Rules''
* Peter Utger was once the smartest kid in class who always answered the teacher's question. That was until fifth grade, when kids started picking on him for having the initials P.U. Now, Peter never raises his hand and his grades have suffered dramatically.
* At Rowley's birthday party, Greg finds a kid hiding in the ball pit. It turns out he was from the party before theirs that happened an hour ago. So the poor boy is left their crying as he realizes that everyone at the party left him behind and forgot about him. This can be relatable to any child who has been separated from their parents in public spaces.
* Rodrick had ''two'' chances to get a good-quality video of his band performing to send to record companies. But both were ruined when Susan started dancing, which led to her shaking the camera she was holding and the cameraman for the TV broadcast focusing on her for much of the duration. One cannot blame him for being angry.

!! ''Diary of a Wimpy Kid''
* The day after Halloween, Greg and Rowley ride the bus to school to find that the teenagers that chased them last night completely vandalized Gramma's house, covering it in eggs and toilet paper. Not only is it going to take a lot to clean up, but Gramma has to suffer all because Greg and Rowley hid there.
* During the Wizard of Oz play, Manny calls Greg "Bubby" in front of the whole school. Thinking quickly, he decides to make it look like he was saying it to his fellow tree Archie Kelly. Sure enough, it's not long before he starts seeing Archie being pushed by bullies while they call him Bubby. What's worse is that Greg does not show a single shred of guilt for throwing him under the bus, as he only talks about being grateful ''he'' is not attached to the nickname.
* Greg ruins the entire play after he throws an apple at Patty Farrell because she gave him and the other trees a dirty look for not singing. This leads to a scuffle that ended when Patty's glasses broke and shut the whole thing down. All the hours that went into putting the production together were entirely wasted because Greg could not put aside his grudge.
** Susan even brought him a bouquet of roses to congratulate him, but ends up throwing them in the trash on the way out.
* The Giving Tree guy accidentally gets the video game meant for Greg instead of the wool sweater he was intended to get because Susan used the same wrapping paper for both and accidentally wrote down the wrong names. And since he had no TV or game system, it was useless to him. In fact, Greg's illustration wonders if the needy man will think they were just playing a sick prank on him.
--> '''Giving Tree Guy:''' Jerks.
* Rowley breaks his hand after Greg throws a football that lands under the front tire of his Big Wheel. Despite being the one who caused the injury, Greg decides to capitalize on it by bragging about causing it and later faking an injury himself solely to gain sympathy.
* Rowley is suspended from Safety Patrol after Greg was caught terrorizing the kindergarteners with worms. Since he was wearing Rowley's coat, the neighbour who spotted him mistakes Greg for him. This creates a lot of friction between the two that is not resolved until the end of the book.
** To put this into perspective: Greg, as Safety Patrol, is in charge with walking the kindergarteners home. He is their authority figure, and thus responsible for their safety and well-being. And yet he still could not miss the opportunity to chase them with worms and make them all afraid of him.
** When he explains the situation to his mother, she tells him that he needs to go to Rowley and "do the right thing" and tell him what actually happened. And while Greg does comply, he makes things worse by saying that Rowley also shared some of the blame for sharing his coat with him and resulting in the mix-up. Rowley is visibly angry and stops talking to Greg after that.
* The teenagers finally catch up to Greg and Rowley and decide to make the latter eat the Cheese. On the walk home, he is clearly traumatized but what he was forced to do.
!! ''Hard Luck''
* Fregley, despite his unnatural behavior, is revealed to be very desperate for companionship. Greg takes a notice of this and offers to fill that role not for Fregley, but for himself to replace Rowley. He essentially plans to turn Fregley into Rowley 2.0 and likely treat him just as shoddily. Luckily, Greg’s plan backfires and Fregley becomes more popular at the end due to his belly button abilities.
