* ''[[Calvin and Hobbes|Calvin]]'': Calvin sometimes uses this attitude.
{{quote|'''Calvin''': Boy, I'm in a bad mood today! Everyone had better steer clear of me! I hate ''everybody!'' As far as I'm concerned, everyone on the planet can just drop dead. People are scum. ''([[Beat]])'' '''WELL-L-L-L? Doesn't anyone want to cheer me up?'''}}
 
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* Played with in a ''[[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]'' arc, where Vince Mac Mahon becomes obsessively critical of Smackdown manager Theodore Long. Later on he claims he wanted to apologize since this was largely due to becoming frustrated by his own professional problems...until he decided he hated Long anyway so continued getting on his back.
* Used in excess with heel characters. Whenever they are having a losing streak, a plan has failed, or they're just feeling a little under the weather, expect them to administer a nasty verbal or physical onslaught on some other wrestler, starting a long time feud. It isn't rare for some heels to suddenly insist on ''completely destroying the lives'' of another simply because they were at the same place that their snit fit was provoked and thus vaguely connected to their misery. After all [[Evil Is Petty]].
