** She also does this somewhat literally when she goes after and takes out a ''Grand Dragon'' 'Mech in the course of ''Hearts of Chaos''.
** Another ''[[BattleTech]]'' example has a bunch of common street punks attempt to provoke a Clan Elemental into a fight during the course of a Halloween celebration. Please note the punks are noted to be nothing more than average teenagers, and an Elemental is a [[Power Armor]] wearing [[Super Soldier]] bred from birth to take on 'Mechs and win, standing somewhere between 7 and 8 feet tall and weighing over three hundred pounds ''without their armor''. While the Elemental was not wearing his armor, he still easily flattens all but one of the punks, who wisely flees the situation.
* In ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]'', Andy Shank continues to antagonize Mr. Nutt {{spoiler|after finding out he's [[Our Orcs Are Different|an orc]]}}, and later [[Powder Keg Crowd|the Shove]] taunts Nutt for this same fact. Of course, Andy is [[Ax Crazy]], and it's frequently said in the [[Discworld]] books that angry mobs are only a fraction as smart as their stupidest member.
** In the Big Match Andy and his cohorts commit many acts of [[Unnecessary Roughness]] against the UU team, seemingly forgetting that the UU players are the most powerful wizards on the Discworld. However, whoever poisoned the Librarian's banana must have been outright suicidal.
** ''Snuff'' has a warning about ''Badass Vimes'' from his butler to someone who was tempted to start bullying, or at the very least, to be annoying. The only way to piss off the Dwarfs, the Trolls, Ankh-Morpork AND Überwald at the same time would be by doing this, so it would be.. unwise.
