Expectations

Impossible or unrealistic expectations are not something anybody is going to live up to.
Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job. They didn't want him touching drugs, since drugs were like kryptonite, they wanted him to comply with their wholesome agenda/program. They called it lighting a fire under his ass. They could not under any circumstances, let the guy do what they were paying him to do or be human instead of superhuman, they had to turn his best efforts into bullshit over doing human shit that other humans did, and not satisfying their expectations.

Subversion of Subverted Expectations

A double whammy subversion of expectations, in particular in regard to film and television, where the audience is led to believe that a scene will follow through with a subversion of expectations regarding theme or humor before the opposite happens. May not always work- relies on the assumption that the audience is expecting the unexpected, but not expecting the expected.
As an example, we can take the Wheel of Fortune scene with Randy Marsh in South Park. In it, he must spell out the word which means "people who annoy me". He manages to by dumb luck fill out every single other letter in the answer leaving him with N_GGERS. The expectation by the audience is that at the last second he will answer with the word "Nagger" rather than "nigger", however at the last second the build-up to the joke concludes with a subversion of the audience's subverted expectations and the joke plays out as it would normally: with Randy answering "NIGGERS!".
We were led to believe that the punchline would be changed at the last minute, but the movie did a Subversion of Subverted Expectations by continuing the joke on as normal.

Unrealistic expectations

Expectations that shouldn't be but are.
This rock band Solence has unrealistic expectations of their audience, they are daring the audience to come and beat them up. Not only does it not make sense to dare a bunch of people you never met (that you would otherwise have no problem with) and who have never met you (and would otherwise have no problem with you) to come and beat you up. The logistics of it alone for them to locate these guys based on what time they're going to be where and trying to pinpoint them even though the audience members trying to do all this stuff have to work the next day, it's an unrealistic expectation and the band knows it when they write lyrics like that. What kind of audience member has time to go find and beat up some band member they never met?

expected-ettiquette easement

What one person temporarily grants another due to their both always being super-respectful/thoughtful towards each other, and so da person granting said obligation-suspension --- in gratitude for the other person's always thinking of his friend's feelings/desires above his own, just as da favor-giver himself diligently does for da second person --- wants to allow da favored individual extra relaxation, comfort, calmness, etc., by letting him do/have more than his share of whatever easy/enjoyable activity or resource dat he is currently partaking of.
One "prime 'n' pleasant" example of expected-ettiquette easement would be if two cool dudes are in love wif da same adorable hot chick, and one of dem is snuggling naked wif her in bed wif his head contentedly nestled on her warm chest, wif his face buried between her tits. Then da second guy comes along and is considerately asked by da first one if he wants a turn at ear-nuzzling da gal's heavenly-soft chest-pillowz, whereupon said second Mr. Snuggly --- feeling "all warm and fuzzy" himself at his friend's selfless offering to "give up his ultimate-pleasure spot" in order to share da lovely velvety-fleshed damsel's luscious body wif his buddy --- good-naturedly waves off said feelings-sensitive proffering ("Nah, you're fine, Pal --- juss' lie still and relax --- because I'm a nice guy, I'll forgo my own luscious-protoplasm cravings for da time being, and let you stay there and enjoy yourself more, especially since YOU'RE such a nice guy to always think of MY feelings like that!"), and instead allows da currently-contentedly-cuddling dude to maintain his dreamily-enjoyable position, while he himself merely crawls in bed next to da gal from da other side, and then just quietly spoons up against her for a while.
