* In ''Literature/NotQuiteAMermaid'', Electra and Splash try to help decorate the grotto for the New Year Party, but only succeed in making a big mess. Electra also discovers a passage that leads from the grotto to the open ocean, leaving them vulnerable to shark attacks, but when she tries to warn the adults about it they won't listen to her because they're so mad at her for messing up the decorations. They only take her seriously after four sharks swim into the grotto.

* ''Series/BabylonFive'': Commander Sinclair is faced with a pretty bad scenario in one episode: the cargo workers on his station have been badly abused by a combination of having so small a workforce that they're pulling triple (or even quadruple!) shifts and by having to work with aging, failing, unsafe equipment that tragically leads to the death of a worker. These horrible conditions have driven the workers to the point where they're starting a strike that's necessary, but that's not legal under their contract. Sinclair wants to solve the problem by reallocating dormant funds away from the station's defense budget toward hiring more workers and replacing the infrastructure and equipment that the workers are (correctly) pointing out will fail altogether within a few months, but Sinclair doesn't even get to reveal his plan until an unrelated law gives him power to end the strike "by any means necessary", [[ExactWords thus giving him power]] to reallocate the funds, himself: more than once before that point in the episode, he genuinely tries to ''tell someone'' with authority to reallocate this money about how the dormant funds can be used to solve the whole situation fairly, peacefully, and logically, but before he can reveal any details of his idea, they talk over him and dismiss him. Only repeat viewings would even reveal to the audience that this trope was what was happening at the time.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'', Hogarth Hughes tries to tell his mother Annie about the Giant the night he first encountered him, but she's so drained from a long day at work, coming home to the mess Hogarth left in the living room, and frantically searching for him in the woods after dark, that she keeps him from explaining the situation.
