History Main / XDaysSince

* There was an [[DummiedOut unused texture]] in ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' that had a sign reading "Days since last accident" with a zero and the sign had blood splattered on it.
** In a case of history repeating itself, ''VideoGame/BlackMesa'' also has an unused "Days without accident" sign, encased in a shattered photo frame.

* At the beginning of ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', Chell is awakened from [[HumanPopsicle suspended animation]] and an automated voice claims "You have been in suspension for [[AC:fifty]] days". She is then put to sleep again and when she wakes up, the room is visibly degraded and the voice (also degraded) says "You have been in suspension for [[AC:nine nine nine nine nine...nine nine]]..."

* In ''VideoGame/{{Destiny 2}}'', it's possible to jump to one's death off the Guardians' Tower. There is a "Days since last incident" sign, that in fact keeps count of how long it's been since a player did that. It is, naturally, usually at zero.

* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' has one of these inside the Hoover Dam.

* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' has a "Days Since Last Accident" sign which predictably reads '0'. It shows up as a background image on its UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} library page.

* ''Literature/TheBlackFleetCrisis'' mentions a sign in the lobby of the New Republic Senate reading "''X'' Days Since The Last Shot Fired in Anger. Remember, Peace is No Accident!" When a new war breaks out, Chief of State Leia Organa Solo notices the sign and angrily orders that it be taken down. As the EU grew, it no longer fit with the established timeline, but it was a nice idea.

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'': A sign reading "Accident Free for __ Days" is reset from 47 to zero after the first "23-19" incident.

* The Chicago Cubs, an {{UsefulNotes/MLB Team|s}}, have long had a sign on one of the rooftops across the street starting with "AC", for "Anno Catuli" ("Year of the Cubs"), indicating the years since their last World Series title, NL pennant, and division title. As they last won these in 1908, 1945, and 2008 respectively, they recently (in 2008) had to add an extra digit for the 100th year since their last World Series title. As of November 2nd, 2016, [[EarnYourHappyEnding all three signs had been reset to 0.]]

* Reddit's [[http://www.reddit.com/r/tifu Today I Fucked Up]] (TIFU) subreddit has an "X Days Since Reddit Shat Itself" counter. It rarely gets above 0.
* From Website/NotAlwaysRight we have [[https://notalwaysright.com/perfect-accidental-timing/33546/ this story]] about a chemistry student so accident-prone that the teacher made one of these signs just for them. Ironically, the accident that caused the counter to be reset was not the student's fault that time.
** Also from Not Always Right, we have [[https://notalwaysright.com/its-a-bad-sign-when-you-become-the-sign/269916/ this]] tale of a store resetting their "days since a customer asked a stupid question" sign (it had been at a record of 99 days), submitted by the customer who asked the question.
* ''WebVideo/{{Game Grumps}}'': One of the show's recurring elements involves Arin breaking out into a standard beatbox rhythm which he rarely deviates from, much to the annoyance of some fans. Dan invokes this trope in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDg_AmS2wn0&index=32&list=PLRQGRBgN_Enq1TqUAalUd87CLsE5PNWvH Episode 32 of their "Link to the Past" playthrough,]] which has since become an in-joke among the fandom. One fan actually made and sent in a custom sign reading "It has been ___ days since Arin beatboxed." As Dan later points out, Arin's beatboxing is part of the Game Grumps intro, so it will [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption always be zero days since Arin beatboxed.]]
* The website [[https://gayhomophobe.com/ gayhomophobe.com]] has been running since 2004 and updates every time a GayConservative or similar type of hypocritical ArmoredClosetGay person is outed. The site also has a minor ranking system that acknowledges [[TheAtoner those who made a complete turnaround and are now supporting gay rights]].
* ''WebVideo/ModernRogue'' has an injury counter that resets with alarming frequency, usually as a result of one of the hosts underestimating the inherent danger in whatever scientific experiment they're tinkering with. Most injuries are minor, requiring only a bandage, but several ER trips have been undertaken. "Reset the counter!" has become a CatchPhrase for the show.
* The website for the 2008 AlternateRealityGame ''The [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppet]] Experiment'' had [[https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/The_Muppet_Experiment?file=MuppetExperiment002.png a sign on the door of Muppet Labs]] saying "Day(s) without an accident: 0. No pain ... no gain."
