* In ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' prequel ''[[Monster University]]'' the Python Nu Kappa scare every single picture they find in the Scare Maze. Why did that backfire on them? Because according to the rules of the Scare Maze, they're only supposed to scare young children. If you scare enough teenagers, you'll be boxed in and will inevitably be eliminated from the Scare Games. This is ''exactly'' what happens to the sorority, who should have been more careful about who they scared.

* In ''[[Jab We Met]]'', Geet's eloping "plan" basically consisted on presenting herself at her boyfriend's family house and introducing herself as his fiancé, fully expecting that he will back up her, and, once the ceremony is done, introduce him to her family who in her mind will be so happy seeing her married that they will overlook a son-in-law from a different religion. That, without even having talked to her boyfriend about her intentions to elope with him. Note that she reveals the latter part when she is dropped at her boyfriend's door to Adithya, the man that helped her escape from her family house (and an [[Arranged Marriage]]) in such a way that ensured that she would be perceived as dishonored if she even came back. Naturally, Geet's boyfriend rejects her and her whole plans fall apart.
