'''You'd Also Expect:''' Fry to realize that something's off when "Mr. Panucci" produces a cheese pizza almost instantly. Having a soda ready is one thing, but a cheese pizza would take at least 15-20 minutes to cook.\\

* "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E24ColdWarriors Cold Warriors]]": A 20th-century strain of the common cold which lay dormant in Fry reactivates and threatens to contaminate the whole world, since the disease had been eradicated centuries earlier and humans have since lost all immunity to it, an eventuality which Farnsworth admits he was living in mortal terror of.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Farnsworth to take the appropriate measures to prevent Fry from spreading any 20th-century diseases, or to quarantine Fry from the first sneeze.\\
'''Instead''': The cold spreads from Fry to the rest of the Planet Express crew except for Bender, and only then is a quarantine imposed.\\
Furthermore, after the cold spreads to the rest of New New York, causing panic due to hardly anyone knowing what the long-thought-extinct cold ''is''...\\
'''You'd Expect''': One of the preserved heads of somebody who had ''lived'' through the times of the virus to know what the effects of it would be or what measures would be appropriate to take against it.\\
'''Instead''': President Nixon ''immediately'' goes right to the nuclear option -- even though he lived in such a time himself and as such should know exactly what the ''common cold virus'' is.

** Morgan is having an illegal relationship with Fry, and goes to visit Fry at his apartment. Fry warns Morgan that Bender could return at any second.\\
'''You'd Think:''' Morgan, rather than risk being caught in an illegal relationship by Bender, would accept that this is a possibility, and suggest that she and Fry feign having a conversation about office work before ordering Bender to do something in the event he returns.\\
'''Instead:''' She chooses to say he won't return. Bender enters the room a few seconds later, discovers the affair, and threatens to expose it, setting off the main plot of the episode.

It does so, impaling Fry and poisoning Leela, who ends up in a coma from the venom. Leela has a FeverDream where she thinks Fry died, and Planet Express indirectly blames her for her recklessness.

"PIN" stands for "Personal Identification Number," so "PIN number" is redundant.
