Mrs. Sarafoglou saw phones in the hallway

During Mrs. Sarafoglou's Freshman English class, I was taught that all external human conflict could be neatly catergorized into three neat categories: Man vs Man, Man vs Nature, Man vs Machine. For example, a conflict between a man and a robot would fall under Man vs Machine, a conflict between a man and a hurricane or alligator under Man vs Nature, and conflict between a man and another man, Man vs Man. As a high school Freshman, I took this primitive classification system as Gospel and truly believed that these three classifications encompassed all potential external human conflicts.

But as a Senior in COLLEGE!, I know that Mrs. Sarafoglou was just a drunken bitch. How could she possibly know every possible conflict would only be susceptible to these three titles? So in order to prove Sarafoglou as the booze hound we once believed, I've compiled a list of conflicts that defy her tertiary classifications. Enjoy.

Man vs Dracula (A Vampire is not natural and being undead, Dracula cannot be considered a man)
Man vs a Man with a Robotic Beaver for an arm
Man vs Yo-yos (There is nothing natural or mechanical about a yo-yo... and no... the yo-yo is not being wielded by a man. It's acting of it's own volition)
Man vs Car driving Dinosaurs with Uzis
Man vs Dinosaur driving Cars with Uzis
Man vs Uzis driving Car Dinosaurs
Man vs Woman (Mrs. Sarafoglou was nothing if not a misogynist)
Man vs Tree with a Gun
