* ''Literature/UnbreakableMachineDoll'': In another one of her angry fits with Raishin, Charlotte makes the assumption that he prefers women large breasted women like Freya, calling her "Ms. Mamories" in the process. Freya, taking insult to that, tells her that bigger doesn't always mean better and begins to list all the problems with having large breasts, to which Charlotte somehow takes that as offensive teasing, not seeing the downsides at all whiles under the belief that [[ACupAngst there's not a single good thing about having a flat chest.]]

* They get in the way or [[{{Gainaxing}} bounce uncontrollably]] during athletic activity.

* {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Centorea from ''Manga/MonsterMusume''. She doesn't show much resentment towards her ample chest (it being a centaur racial trait), but she gets embarrassed whenever people bring attention to it. She also is utterly incapable of finding a bra that will survive her GagBoobs, which becomes a plot point when she engages in a jousting match with her mother and is handicapped because her boobs {{Gainaxing}} throws off her center of balance.

* This is the entire point of the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZx5zfkG6oU "Heavy Boobs"]] from ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend''. Having them may seem cool, but they are "dense like dying stars" and are really just "sacks of yellow fat." Also, things fall into the bra, it's difficult to run too far, and {{Gainaxing}} hurts like hell.

* Golden Girl[=/=]Audrey Page from ''The Developing Adventures of Golden Girl'' is not enjoying how large her breasts grew following puberty. It mainly stems from the fact that her constant {{Gainaxing}} and added weight gets in the way of her superhero duties, especially since the rest of her body is pretty skinny, but it also pertains to minor annoyances like the fact that the story apparently takes place before sports bras were invented.

* ''Anime/DFrag'': Takao's are so big that attempting to pull up the zipper on her tracksuit caused the zipper [[WardrobeMalfunction to break and fly off]] like a bullet. The incident garners the cheers of the entire crowd, while Takao turns beet red in embarrassment.

* {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Centorea from ''Manga/MonsterMusume''. She doesn't show much resentment towards her ample chest, but she gets embarrassed whenever people bring attention to it. She also is utterly incapable of finding a bra that will survive her GagBoobs.

* In ''LightNovel/AestheticaOfARogueHero'', Myuu does not like her huge rack because it is difficult to find clothes that fit her, and she keeps popping buttons.

* ''LightNovel/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'':
** Mizuki Himeji complains that her breasts are heavy and she has trouble finding the right bra size.
** Later on in the story during the Black Magic Incident (long story), Akihisa swapped bodies with Himeji and understood that being so buxom isn't good for movement, etc. at all. For comparison, he finds that Minami's slender body is much better in mobility and strength.

* ''Literature/FailureFrame'': Kashiba ''hates'' her large, and still growing, breasts, as she's received nothing but leers from most of the boys and derision from most of the girls since they started coming in.

* The [[TheHighQueen Demon Queen]] from ''LightNovel/{{Maoyu}}'' is [[ObliviouslyBeautiful oblivious to the attractiveness of her huge rack]] and feels the "useless meat" is just weighing her down. She also dislikes sexy outfits and prefers more conservative clothing instead.

* The Italian comedy ''Film/LeComiche2'' offers a particular twist. A man receives a breast augmentation by mistake. Later in the movie, the character suffers a {{comedic underwear exposure}} that reveals him wearing a bra to support his bosom. His embarrassment and distress are {{played for laughs}}. He ends up in a hospital where, because of his breasts, he is mistaken for transgender and undergoes a sex reassignement surgery.

TruthInTelevision for many women of all ages -- and often even worse for UsefulNotes/{{trans|gender}} people born female.

* ''LightNovel/FailureFrame'': Kashiba ''hates'' her large, and still growing, breasts, as she's received nothing but leers from most of the boys and derision from most of the girls since they started coming in.

* In the ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'' fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15091307/chapters/34992761 Butch Diana]]'', Amanda trips Akko so she falls on [[HehHehYouSaidX top]] of Diana. While Diana is happy that her breasts finally proved useful in cushioning Akko's fall, Akko is understandably... Conflicted.

* ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'': Shinju Inui is a HugeSchoolgirl, who aside from being extremely tall for a middle schooler also has a very large bust. Aside from the obvious insecurities that stem from this she wants to do cosplay of male characters, meaning that her breasts get in the way of making it convincing enough.

A woman has large breasts and hates them. Or maybe she does not hate them all the time, but acknowledges her breasts can cause her problems. Some common reasons for this are:
* She is going through {{Puberty|Tropes}} and struggling to adapt to the [[SheIsAllGrownUp involuntary changes]] her body is going through.

* They are too heavy and burdensome. Their weight can cause stress or pain to her shoulders, neck, and back; bra straps can cut into her shoulders. Even spinal injury is possible.

It's rare for this woman to be around other characters who can sympathize with her. While she experiences her [[BlessedWithSuck large breasts as a burden]], expect other characters to see her bustiness [[CursedWithAwesome as a blessing]], not understanding why having large breasts could be a problem. They also get zero respect from ACupAngst sufferers.

Cruelest of all, she may be [[SlutShaming Slut Shamed]] by people who fallaciously assume she is [[MadonnaWhoreComplex too sexy to be a virtuous person]] -- even if she is not promiscuous at all! Since breasts can develop suddenly in puberty, an adolescent girl may find that some {{Sour Prude}}s abruptly reverse their opinion of her from "[[ChildrenAreInnocent Innocent Child]]" to "[[SexIsEvil dangerously womanly]]" for terrible reasons.

* Chanel of ''Rain 2-1-'' is one of the shortest students in her school ''and'' she has big breasts, which attracts a lot of boys... except she's afraid of boys. She's a homoromantic asexual. Chanel has some resentment toward her breasts.

A woman has large breasts and hates them. The three most common reasons are:
# [[SoBeautifulItsACurse She doesn't appreciate]] the [[BuxomIsBetter attention they bring her]];
# They're too much of a physical burden, causing back and neck pain and scoliosis (bra straps literally cutting into shoulders is not unusual);
# That she's subject to SlutShaming under the logic that having a body men lust over makes her promiscuous;

It's rare for these women to be around other characters who can sympathize with them. They may be [[SlutShaming Slut Shamed]]. [[BlessedWithSuck While these women see their large breasts as being a burden]], expect other characters to [[CursedWithAwesome see it as being a blessing]], not understanding why having large breasts could be a problem. They also get zero respect from ACupAngst sufferers.

* Implied but downplayed with the poem ''Pointed Observation'', where the subject doesn't make a big deal about her breasts being a little big ("[=40D=]" is the mentioned size), however, she can't make sense of the fact they are large, leaving her confused.

* ''I Am the Cheese'': At one point, Amy Hertz is said to have wonderful breasts, which she said when the protagonist first noticed she finds too big and embarrassing to always carry around everywhere.

* This is what Vida experiences in Creator/RichardBrautigan's novel ''The Abortion''. She's looked like that since she was eleven, and men have [[DistractedByTheSexy had accidents]] or even killed themselves. She hates it; she wanted to be a ballerina.

* A more downplayed version appeared in ''Manga/ServantXService'', where Yamagami is actually relieved that Chihaya guessed her chest puppies' size to be ''[[UpToEleven merely]]'' F-Cup!

* Implied but downplayed (and {{Justified}}) in the poem ''Bras'', where the subject doesn't really mind that their size (she's said to be "big in the front"), aside from their size making it difficult for to her find a suitable (and comfortable) bra.

* One short story in ''Manga/BinboGamiGa'' has Momiji forcibly switch bodies with Ichiko, in order to ruin her reputation. Before leaving Momiji brags about how awesome it is to have big breasts only to come back about a minute later to complain about how burdensome large breasts are and tell Ichiko she feels sorry for her. Still doesn't stop her from wanting big breasts, however.

* Natsumi Hinata from ''Manga/SgtFrog'' is reminded more often that she'd like that (usually by the SchoolgirlLesbians stalking her) she's more well-endowed than average and seems to think they're more a burden than a blessing. One of her fears is that she'll "end up [[GagBoobs a mutant like mom]]" and the effects of Kururu's age-changing beam in volume three indicate that this is indeed destined to be her terrible fate. (Doesn't stop her from wearing bikinis, though.)
