== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Happens twice to Minako Aino and her friend Hikaru in ''[[Codename: Sailor V]]'' allowing Saito, a head of one of a different gang of juvenile delinquents and former attendee of the same middle school as Minako to rescue them. Minako gets a crush on him but {{spoiler|he's in love with his old / her current Home Ec teacher.}}
* This is how Makoto Kino alias Sailor Jupiter is introduced in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', by saving Usagi from one of these scenarios.
* Happens way back in ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|The Kanto Saga Pokémon]]'' episode "The Song of Jigglypuff". Jessie and James bump into two random people (a large, fat woman and a thug, respectively}). Because the entire town is unable to sleep, everyone is cranky and irritable, so Team Rocket [[Foregone Conclusion|gets the crap beat out of them]]. (The fat woman actually '''spanks''' Jessie). To add salt to the wound, [[Why Did You Make Me Hit You?|the people beating on James and Jessie were the ones who bumped into them]]. Ash also bumps into someone, but avoids getting into a fight. Later in the episode (after Jigglypuff's forced everyone to sleep), the now less grumpy guy apologises.
* At the beginning of the Marineford arc of ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'', a waiter bumps into a pirate and stains his shirt. The pirate wants to kill him for it, but his fatalist captain talks him out of it--apparentlyit—apparently, it was his shirt's destiny to be ruined that day.
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Done very seriously in ''[[X -Men (Comic Book)|X Men]]''. The team has just saved Colossus' big brother [[Reality Warper|Mikhail]] from another dimension. Mikhail is still traumatized by the experience (after his tampering with a dimensional anomaly killed his wife and brothers in arms) but seems like he will recover in time. Then, as he is left alone in the street, he suffers a brief [[Heroic BSOD]] and just then a teenager on a bicycle bumps into him. A couple of seconds later, Colossus returns to pick up his brother, unaware that the nearest tree now has a pattern of stumps shaped like a face screaming in terror...
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 20:
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[The Three Musketeers (Literaturenovel)|The Three Musketeers]]'', this is how d'Artagnan meets Athos and Porthos. He crashes into both of them (separately) and handles the result badly, leading to two duel challenges. (Minutes later, after resolving to mend his ways and be more polite, d'Artagnan tries to behave friendly to Aramis and only ends up embarrassing him, earning himself a third duel challenge.)
* In ''Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry'' the heroine, Cassie, a black girl, bumps into Lillian Jean, a white girl who is the daughter of a ''very'' influential bigot. Cassie barely pays attention to what Lillian Jean is saying until L.J. orders her to apologize. Cassie's little brother, who is a courageous boy, tells her to let Cassie alone. Lillian Jean doesn't listen, of course, and tells her to get down in the street. Cassie protests and tells her she isn't going anywhere, and that if she's so scared of being bumped, Lillian Jean should go down there herself. Then, Lillian Jean's father shows up and pushes Cassie down in the street and scolds her for being such an impudent brat. Cassie runs away from the curious crowd and runs into her grandmother, who makes her apologize, and humiliates the poor girl. Lillian Jean later gets what she deserves.

== Western Animation ==
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode 5 (season 1), Gilda berates Fluttershy for bumping into her.
* ''[[The Boondocks]]'' uses this as an example of [[N-Word Privileges|Nigga moments]]. Two black guys bump into each other and start a shootout. Nobody is injured and they realize how ignorant they were being and work out their differences... and then the cops come and kill them both.
* Kabuto from [[Pixar Shorts|''Tokyo Mater'']] is actually introduced this way.
