* In the ''Literature/SweetValleyHigh'' book ''On The Edge'', Regina Morrow gets a phone call from a local bad boy. Although her brother wasn't intentionally eavesdropping, he still hears the guy's name and as soon as she's done talking to him, tries to interrogate her about her new friendship with him.

* In an episode of ''Series/InTheHeatOfTheNight'', a visiting friend of Althea's tells her that she has a phone call. Althea's husband tells her that they're closing in on the hit-and-run driver who killed the episode's victim. Only after the conversation ends do we see that her friend has been listening the entire time--which Althea didn't realize--and now looks absolutely terrified, because ''she'' is the killer the cops are looking for.

* In ''Literature/DayOfTheJackal'', the Jackal has taken shelter in the mansion of a woman he seduced. When he makes a call to his informant, he always makes sure the woman falls asleep before making a call from a phone in the other room. During one call, he hears a click on the phone, and realizes the woman has been listening on another phone. When he returns to his room, he finds one of his suitcases opened and parts of his ScaramangaSpecial rifle on the floor. He immediately kills the woman, packs his cases, and flees, but killing her ultimately ended up harming him; before, when he entered France, he was [[spoiler: attempting to assassinate UsefulNotes/CharlesDeGaulle]] and the search for him was carried out in almost complete secrecy. After this murder, however, it became an open, public manhunt.
