* This happens an awful lot in ''Webcomic/{{minus}}'', since [[YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb most of the cast are children]]:
** minus is playing baseball with her classmates.\\
'''You'd expect:''' Her to understand that her classmates will never play with her again if she blatantly cheats with her RealityWarper powers, and thus won't do so. If she is such a sore loser that she insists on manipulating reality to win, she would at least do it so subtly they don't notice.\\
'''Instead:''' She [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus7.html makes the ball evade all the fielders and even defy gravity to hit someone on the nose]], so that she can score a home run without interference.\\
'''The result:''' She is kicked out of the game, and [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus9.html forbidden from playing with them again]].
** After having transformed into an elephant, minus encounters a carnival and wants to ride the Ferris wheel.\\
'''You'd expect:''' She'd transform back, since she can easily do that.\\
'''Instead:''' She approaches the ride while still an elephant, and [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus11.html the operator doesn't let her on]].
** minus and her friend [[NoNameGiven (who has green hair)]] are gazing up at the stars. Her friend says she wishes she could reach out and touch one. minus gives her a look as though to remind her [[LittleMissAlmighty what kind of person she's talking to]], and [[PerspectiveMagic grabs a star in her hand]].\\
'''You'd expect:''' That minus wouldn't open her hand without conjuring up some protection for the two of them and their surroundings, or at least that her friend, who is very level-headed, would point that out to her first.\\
'''Instead:''' Neither do either such thing. [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus14.html Cue apocalypse.]]
** A pair of twins who are minus's classmates made a bet among themselves, and the longer-haired of the two loses and tries to get out of it by asking minus to send her back in time to before she took the bet.\\
'''You'd expect:''' For her to explain the situation carefully to minus. Most importantly, you'd expect that she'd tell minus how far back she wants to go before making the request.\\
'''You'd also expect:''' minus to let her classmate ''finish her sentence''.\\
'''Instead:''' The long-haired girl exclaims, "Hey minus! Send me back in time to..." and minus immediately [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus25.html zaps her to Victorian times alone]] with no way to get back.
** An office worker is stressed by his job.\\
'''You'd expect:''' He'd do anything but leap out the window of a high-rise.\\
'''Instead:''' [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus35.html This can speak for itself.]] [[spoiler:At least minus saves his life.]]
** minus is told to wash the dishes.\\
'''You'd expect:''' That since she's, well, omnipotent, she'd snap her fingers and have them done in like two seconds. Then she wouldn't have to get up from reading her book.\\
'''Instead:''' She makes a copy of herself and sends the copy off to do the dishes. Said copy shares her powers and her [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny personality]].\\
'''The result:''' Her copy gets bored and transforms the dishes into a master of martial arts, then duels it with swords. [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus56.html She's run through,]] and Dishface goes on to leave a trail of blood in his wake.
** The class is on a field trip to the museum. Outside, there is a statue of a horse, and the white-haired girl wants minus to bring it to life so they can all ride. minus gives her a phial which contains potion that imbues stone with life.\\
'''You'd expect:''' The white-haired girl would pour the potion directly on the statue itself.\\
'''Instead:''' She pours the whole phial onto a piece of rubble around the statue. [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus65.html The rubble comes to life]], but the statue remains a statue.\\
'''The result:''' Because of her classmate's stupidity, minus gets stricken in the back of the head with a rock.
** After reading a book on pirates, minus turns the library she is inside into a pirate ship, and presses the other guests into her crew. She just read that sailors had to eat lemons to prevent scurvy, so she conjures up a whole bowl for her crew, which disappoints them.\\
'''You'd expect:''' That since these innocent bystanders have just seen minus turn the library into a pirate ship, that they know what she's capable of and that she doesn't care about collateral damage, and so won't antagonize her.\\
'''Instead:''' One man demands she give them real food, since they won't get scurvy in modern conditions, and refuses to eat the lemons. [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus83.html minus gives him scurvy to encourage the others.]]
** The green-haired girl tells minus she was absent from school due to illness. minus has never been sick before in her life, and doesn't know what illness is.\\
'''You'd expect:''' minus to ask her friend to explain why she got a day off. After all, the school wouldn't do that if there weren't ''some'' kind of downside.\\
'''You'd also expect:''' That the green-haired girl knows her friend, and that she wants to have fun at all costs, so she tells minus in no uncertain terms that being sick is a miserable experience that makes it impossible to enjoy anything else.\\
'''Instead:''' She tells minus that she spent the day watching movies and eating jello, and that it's fun to relax like that every so often.\\
'''The result:''' Predictably, minus makes herself sick the next day so that she doesn't have to go to school. [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus87.html She throws up immediately]], and [[NotWhatItLooksLike is now convinced that her friend is an emetophile]].
** A couple adults find out about minus's RealityWarper powers, and ask her to use them to solve the world's problems.\\
'''You'd expect:''' That they just ask her to end war and oppression, or something.\\
'''Instead:''' They ask her to end conflict, but minus doesn't know the word, so they define it as people competing or fighting each other needlessly.\\
'''The result:''' minus [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus90.html makes all sports games end in draws]], and has more serious conflicts end by one side acquiescing to the other's demands.
** The couple then track minus down again.\\
'''You'd expect:''' They'd explain what they really want in terms a child can understand, while explaining that their original definition of conflict was too broad.\\
'''Instead:''' They draft up a thick tome of legalese. minus takes one look, and then [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus91.html makes it into origami structures and paper airplanes]].
** Due to circumstances too complicated to go into detail here, minus strikes her head on the pavement and completely loses all sense of reality, spending three days running around in circles in her yard. The green-haired girl explains this to her friends at school, and the white-haired girl suggests that [[TapOnTheHead hitting her on the head]] [[WrongGenreSavvy will bring her back to normal]].\\
'''You'd expect:''' That the green-haired girl would ignore this idiotic suggestion, particularly since she herself admits that it would only damage minus further, and since Clary, the black-haired girl who is equally down-to-Earth and intelligent, gives her a DeathGlare for considering it.\\
'''Instead:''' She does it anyway since her friend says it's better than doing nothing.\\
'''You'd then expect:''' That she would not hit minus hard enough to cause permanent damage.\\
'''Instead:''' [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus108.html She drops a huge rock on her head.]] minus [[spoiler:shatters into a million pieces]].
** minus, [[spoiler:now a ghost]], is bringing ghosts back to life. A bunch of ghosts mob her, asking for the privilege.\\
'''You'd expect:''' That with so many ghosts asking, for them to consider if it's worth it, since there isn't enough space on Earth for everyone who has died to be revived. The spirit world lacks nothing the Earth has, so there is no downside to being dead.\\
'''Instead:''' No one even considers this, and one ghost asks minus [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus119.html to bring back literally everybody]].\\
'''The result:''' [[spoiler:The mass of bodies crushes everyone, sending all ghosts and all living people straight back to the afterlife.]]
** minus is playing baseball with her classmates.\\
'''You'd expect:''' Her to understand that her classmates will never play with her again if she blatantly cheats with her RealityWarper powers, and thus won't do so. If she is such a sore loser that she insists on manipulating reality to win, she would at least do it so subtly they don't notice.\\
