I thought of a good one that I'm certain none of you would know.
8 Mile:
The underdog battler in 8 Mile, B Rabbit, completely destroys everybody he goes against. Line after line, excellent punchline, absolutely no filler, no [censored] ups. This movie was the introduction to emcee battles for MANY people and they totally believe that battlers of B Rabbit's calibre are totally normal and expected.. so when they go to a battle and expect 8 Mile and don't get what they think is a "good" battler, they boo and ruin battles. As soon as someone falls off for 2 seconds or doesn't have an amazing punch, they boo. This messes up the emcees and totally ruins the atmosphere.

I found this post especially interesting. It's different than the rest of our posts. I never thought about heightened expectations ruining an activity. I wonder if there are any other examples of this.
I thought maybe the easy access to internet porn would work. Two ways this could apply. (1)Men expect the woman in their lives to be porn stars as far as sexuality. (2) Men are spoiled as far as the relative attractiveness of women. Just look at some of the low rankings some gorgeous women get in OOT.
