* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'': In one of the later arcs, Keiichi realizes that if he truly wants to unite the town to rescue Satoko, he's going to need the head of the Sonozaki family, Oryou, on his side.When he tells her that he's willing to do anything to save Satoko, Oryou asks what he'd do then if she refuses. Keiichi replies, without hesitation, that he'd smash Oryou's head wide open and install his best friend Mion (Oryou's granddaughter and designated heir) as the new head of the family. Oryou reacts how you might expect someone to react to that statement and throws him out, but later Mion tells him that Oryou will support him, and that proclamation of his was what convinced her that he had the spine needed to do this (though she also says it might be unwise for Keiichi to approach her again for a long time, even to apologize or thank her). Oryou is later shown telling her daughter (Mion's mother) to look after Keiichi should she die, as she thinks having him around would be good for the village.

* A more mild example in the HerculePoirot novel ''Cat Among the Pigeons'': Honoria Bulstrode, headmistress of Meadowbrook school, asks her chosen successor what she would change about the school. The would-be successor answers, "Nothing," disappointing Miss Bulstrode, who doesn't think the school should be run just out of tradition. Miss Bulstrode then asks another teacher the same question, and the other teacher says that their are lots of things she thinks should be done differently. It is this that persuades Miss Bulstrode to change her mind and name the second teacher as the new headmistress.
