* ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' starts with Romeo moping over Rosaline dumping him, so his friend convince him to crash Capulet's party with them in the hopes he'll see other girls there to take his mind off her. Well, that part 100% succeeds. [[StarCrossedLovers What follows...]]

* ''Literature/TheBookOfMormon'': Jared recruits the king's friend, Akish, to assassinate the king and put Jared on the throne. However, Akish doesn't simply do the job himself; he gathers all his friends and family and forms an entire oath-bound secret organisation. The king flees before they can finish him, and Jared gets the throne like he wanted, but Akish is now next in line and has command of a group of people whose job is to kill the reigning monarch...

* This was actually the cause of the failure of the UsefulNotes/MaginotLine (and by extension, France) during [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo WW2]], contrary to [[CommonKnowledge popular knowledge]] that the French were [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkey cowardly]] or [[HeadInTheSandManagement couldn't fathom]] the Germans [[DungeonBypass just going around it]]. The whole point of the Maginot Line was to lock down the French-German border with a network of artillery and machine gun bunkers that were so ridiculously strong that any frontal assault would be a disaster, forcing the Germans to ''not attack there'' and attack through Belgium instead. The real problem was that the Germans took a risky but ultimately successful gamble by concentrating their forces through the Ardennes forest, which was weakly guarded, and the French military as an organization was too slow to react to the rapidly moving German forces (which emphasized officer initiative, while the French didn't), but the Maginot Line technically fulfilled its goal of forcing the Germans not to attack there.
