Full metal Karen; someone is complaining loudly and demanding to see the manager. Something is wrong with their groceries or the service they purchased—and while they’re being an entitled jerk and giving some unfortunate clerk a hard time about it, they’re also right.

A mugger or gang of muggers corners the protagonist(s) in a dark alley or street when suddenly, a vigilante hero descends from a nearby roof top. They beat the snot out of the bad guys and leave the protagonist(s) standing there with a pile of bruised bad guys and a stern admonition to stay on the straight and narrow, or else.
A local real estate agent makes bank flipping real estate: Buying up dilapidated old houses, giving them a make-over and selling them as part of city gentrification. Does the agent need to hire beautiful, capable people to stand around looking good in the photo shoots? Where do they get the money to make the required investment? What if the craftsmen doing the actual repairs are actually underpaid slave labourers from another dimension? What if they ask for help getting home?
