The sudden shift in atmospheric pressure caused the fragile silicate crystals to crack, a process the expedition leader had warned was possible with any undue jostling of the containment field.

Bartholomew's enthusiasm for competitive napping was legendary, but even his family drew the line at him demanding *undue* silence during his afternoon slumber.

Gerald felt a rather undue sense of alarm when his cat, Bartholomew, began reciting Shakespearean sonnets.

She felt an undue pressure from her supervisor to exceed her already prodigious output, a relentless expectation that bordered on exploitation. The constant scrutiny, the ceaseless demands, seemed to extract more than was reasonable, leaving her utterly depleted.

The hapless truffle pig, with a snuffled sigh of utter capitulation, felt an undue weight of expectations settle upon its hirsute shoulders.

The sentient fungal colony, having achieved sapience through millennia of subterranean proliferation, levied an undue tax on the passing earthworms. It demanded not just nourishment, but also three polished pebbles and a sonnet about decomposition for every centimeter traversed, a truly egregious exaction for such diminutive travelers.
