* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' {{downplay|edTrope}}s it: Anarka Couffaine in "Captain Hardrock", who shows no concern about the damage caused by her speakers (likely adding up to thousands of euros considering how many cars were blown over), pays no respect to Roger when he tries to call her out on violating noise restrictions, and then gets herself into further trouble by revealing she has none of the relevant permits for her houseboat. She ultimately faces no consequences for this, with Roger even pointing out that the speakers are still over the legal limit but choosing to let it slide for no reason beyond "it's the music festival."[[note]]Credit to the YMMV page of said

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Castle}}'' there's a wealth of evidence pointing to a nurse as the murderer. He isn't but the evidence gathered related to a complicated plan to fake his falsely imprisoned girlfriend's death to get her out of prison. This works but the two are quickly arrested. At the end of the episode Castle and Beckett are not only going to somehow avoid him getting prosecuted for the prison break (and the various crimes he committed to manage it) but are going to reopen his girlfriend's case to get her out legally. Granted, there were apparently a lot of mistakes made in her conviction but still...

* In the climactic chase of ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie'', drivers let the LoveInterest run through traffic, but do their utmost to stall the RomanticFalseLead doing the same thing. For bonus points, they're yelling stuff like "Give up!" and "She doesn't love you!" at the latter.

* {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''Film/Legend1985''. Jack takes Lili to see the unicorns. Lili's purity lures one of them to her and makes it vulnerable to attack, which leads to one of them being killed and one captured and the sudden onset of winter. Later on, a fairy named Honeythorn Gump confronts Jack and demands to know if he had anything to do with it. Jack admits everything, but says that he did it for love. Instead of forgiving Jack, the Gump tells him that he must answer a riddle first. If he can't, the Gump will kill him.

In ''Theatre/HelloDolly'' Cornelius gets out of having tried to order diner that he couldn't pay for and then trying to pay for it with someone else's money because he sings a song about how he's in love with Irene.

* ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'' gives an example both romantic (from the protagonist's persoective) and not (from Mortelli’s). [[spoiler:Mortelli sabotages the protagonist's criminal trial because, in his view, the protagonist only did what any loving father would do.]]
