 Steve Andreas Article: "It's Just Not Fair"
Since "It's just not fair" depends on examples in which someone else has more of something good, a counterexample will be any way that the other person has less of something good (or more of something bad).
While occasionally someone may use "It's just not fair," to describe a human agreement or transaction, more often it is used to describe things or events in the natural world that we simply don't like.
