Line 141:
* In the ''[[Outlaw Chronicles]]'', this happens in ''King's Man'' to the narrator and his [[Action Girlfriend|principal love interest]]. Cue [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]. This is just the beginning of the [[Trauma Conga Line]] that he goes through during the book.
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', this has happened to Harry Dresden more than once, e.g. Death Masks. However the girl used this to pick pocket him.
* Happens now and then on the [[Discworld]].
** In ''[[Equal Rites]]'', Archchancellor Cutangle rides pillion behind Granny Weatherwax on a broom, holding on to her to avoid falling off. When she objects to the ''way'' (or, rather, [[Thanks for the Mammary|the ''place'']]) he's holding, he apologises and explains he hasn't much experience with women. Even then, he still needs to be told to change his grip.
*** This scene is repeated almost verbatim with Bilious and Susan in ''[[Hogfather]]'', except they're riding Binky.
** Played with in ''[[The Last Continent]]''. The Senior Wrangler had once accidentally seen the ''tailor's dummy'' used by Unseen University's housekeeper to make her own clothes, and had never seen her the same way since. Exactly what was special about the dummy is never stated, but it had no arms or head and was presumably shaped like her torso.

* This happens often enough [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/19/science/19sell.html?_r=1 in stores] that companies have studied how to prevent it from happening. Customers who do this tend to leave the store quickly without buying anything.<ref>In his book “Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping” (2000), Mr. Underhill expounded on the dangers of “butt brushes” (if the aisles are too narrow and people brush up against each other when they pass, they tend to leave the store)</ref>
* [[Newsnight|Jeremy Paxman]] of all people became this in an interview while explaining how hard it can be to interview [[Boris Johnson]]. Explaining how Johnson tended to pat him on the arm repeatedly in interviews, he proceeded to miss the hostess' upper arm and immediately apologise.
