** ''Literature/InterestingTimes:'' Faced with the unstoppable rumour that the Silver Horde does ''not'' have 2,300,009 invisible vampire-ghosts backing them up, Lord Hong has the word sent out that the Agatean forces have their own invisible ghosts to bolster morale. It just makes the already terrified soldiers more nervous, because after centuries of civil war, there are Agatean ghosts they'd rather not meet.

* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': In the bad ending, after Ann decides to not trust The Consortium, it prompts Ryan to accuse them of wanting to using Ann for their own agendas rather than trying to help her. As the argument continues, G tries to ensure reassurance by stating an incident such as the one where Ryan lost his eye wouldn't happen again, but it ends up provoking Ryan instead to recklessly attack without a second thought. [[spoiler:This leads to a disastrous outcome as the security guards end up fatally shooting Ryan right in front of Ann, causing her to immediately succumb to Amok's control and proceeds to kill everybody in the room before unleashing total destruction upon the entire world and turning it into a ravaged HellOnEarth]].



* in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' episode "Cordially Invited", General Ironwood is at a meeting to determine whether or not he should keep his two seats on the Atlas Council. Penny, who was recently framed for murder is there, and Jacques Schnee asks if the proceedings will be safe with her presence. Ironwood's response, [[ControlFreak "Penny is]] ''[[ControlFreak completely]]'' [[ControlFreak under my control."]] doesn't go over so well; Penny is off-put by the assertion that she's nothing more than a tool, while Jacques uses that to segue into the discussion over how much control is appropriate for Ironwood to have.

** ''Literature/ThiefOfTime'': Jeremy Clockson isn't crazy. He's even got a piece of paper saying as such. Not a lot of people have one of those. Somehow, Igor (who is no stranger to 'eccentric' genius) doesn't find this reassuring. In fact, he finds it more alarming than if Jeremy ''had'' been going "they called me MAD!"

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'' the dog expects Mittens the cat to be calmed down by being reminded she's with Bolt, but she evidently doesn't trust Bolt to know what he's doing because he thinks he really does have superpowers and therefore can perform all sorts of death-defying stunts without realizing SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome.
