** Ichikawa is convincing his teacher, on Yamada's behalf, that she didn't throw snack wrappers in the library's trash. He uses those specific words to his advantage; stating that someone who isn't "normal" (basically, a ditz) would probably just give a knee-jerk reaction to that accusation when called out. Yamada thanks Ichikawa for his defense, but politely says that she isn't ''too'' sure about how he worded it. (She ''also'' a bit shocked by their teacher '''sighing''' in agreement with him...)

* It's common for parents to talk to other people (or to each other) about their children as if they weren't in the room, even when they're in close proximity.
* Disabled people get this a lot too, especially those with expressive language problems.
* Blind and nearsighted people can accidentally do this to others.
* Often happens when people believe the person being discussed doesn't speak their language, but [[YouDidntAsk that person]] [[BilingualBackfire actually does]]. Notable in this [[https://web.archive.org/web/20120307153310/http://www.overheardeverywhere.com/archives/002438.html Overheard Everywhere]] story: A German man complains to an American tourist in German, finds out the tourist speaks German, and then casually adds that to his list of complaints.
* This trope is especially prone to occurring on the internet, even more so if there's no reliable method to tell if a user is online or not. And even if the user being talked about isn't right there at the moment, outside of Direct Messaging, it's easy for said user to look at the backlogs later anyway.

In at least one case, he doesn't even ''hear'' the insult:
