* Imagine you're an association football player. Scoring an owl goal on your debut? Unfortunate. Getting sent off on your debut for a second bookable offence? You should have known better. Doing both of these in your debut? Very unlucky. Now imagine doing that on your debut for Real Madrid, one of the biggest teams in the world.

* In ''Film/TheSecretOfRoanInish'', Grandfather tells Fiona that the very first time his great-grandfather Sean Michael went out fishing with the other men of the family, they were caught in a storm that destroyed their boats and killed everyone [[SoleSurvivor except Sean Michael]].

* Integral to the first two games in the {{Franchise/Danganronpa}} series. Fifteen (first game) or sixteen (second) high school students show up at the prestigious Hope’s Peak high school, a place meant to hone “talented” individuals into the next generation of leaders in their fields. Then the world goes screwy and next thing they know they’re locked in the school or transported to an island by a talking MagicalGirl [[ItMakesSenseInContext rabbit plushie]] and soon after forced into a [[DeadlyGame killing game]] by a black and white talking bear plushie named Monokuma. [[spoiler:Subverted, however as they actually have had their memories wiped of their time as students and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and it’s actually several years after their first day.]]

* In the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster, one of the firefighter was on his first shift when the explosion occurred. Needless to say, this was very a difficult trial for him.

* ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'' "A Day In The Life" makes one wonder who thought it was a good idea to have their rookie start on SRU's single craziest day of the year.

* [[Website/SfDebris Poor, dumb]] Harry Kim of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' had the colossally bad luck of getting stationed on the ''Voygaer'' on his very first assignment out of Starfleet Academy. That first day got him and the ship stranded in hostile space ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and stuck as an ensign]]) for 7 years.

* Ben Sliney's first day as the FAA's National Operation Manager (basically the Air Traffic Controller-in-chief) was September 11, 2001. It was his call to ground every civilian aircraft in America for four days (over 4,200). He [[AsHimself played himself]] in the film, ''Film/{{United 93}}''.

Bob is entering his first day on the job at TropeCo Industries. He expects to spend the first few days getting his feet wet, learning what his responsibilities are, getting to know his co-workers.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE51TheManWhoKilledBatman "The Man Who Killed Batman"]]: Sid Debris was a small crook before that, but the first day he worked as one of [[TheDon Rupert Thorne]]'s {{Mooks}}, he was the victim of five {{MookHorrorShow}}s: First he was set up as bait for Batman, then he was challenged to fight by GangBangers, then Detective Harvey Bullock menaced him with JackBauerInterrogationTechnique, then a vengeful Joker placed him into a DeathTrap, then Thorne menaced him with YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness.

** Played for laughs at [[IronButtMonkey Richard's]] expense, whose first assignment with S.T.A.R.S. involves surviving a helicopter crash, then being pursued by a ravenous pack of zombified Dobermans, and finally ending up trapped in the Spencer Mansion. Except it's teeming with monsters that are even worse than the ones outside. [[TheChewToy It gets worse for him from there.]]
** It's {{downplayed}} in Rebecca's case, since she already suffered most of her hardships during [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil0 the train incident]], which was hours before she arrived at the mansion. Though she still ends up being cornered by a Hunter and was only narrowly saved by Chris.
