Line 90:
** One new intern named Katie steals credit from Elliott and tries to manipulate her way to being seen as the best newbie. Carla sits her down for coffee and tells her off, saying the nurses see everything. Katie attempts to cry that she has emotionally abusive parents, and an alcoholic father to boot. Carla says, "Oh you poor thing," followed by "Heard it!" She says nearly everyone at the hospital has a tragic backstory, including herself and Dr. Cox. Unless Katie shapes up, the doctors and nurses will eat her alive.
* In Victor Larue's last appearance in ''[[Walker, Texas Ranger]],'' his lawyer attempts a sob story about Victor being a victim of child abuse which drove him [[Insanity Defense|insane so Victor wouldn't have to go to trial.]] A criminal psychologist points out that while Victor was insane, he knew right from wrong and was deemed fit to stand trial.
* A funny example of this trope happens with the villain of the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation

The manager maintains, however, that "training" Jorts is a futile effort and only would stress the cat further, so Pam didn't have Jorts's best interests at heart. Plus, Pam confessed that she was buttering Jorts in margarine in an attempt to encourage him to groom himself better. (As one commenter put it, "I can't believe she fucking buttered Jorts.")
* ''[[(The Customer is) Not Always Right]]'' has a few of these moments:
** "[https://notalwaysright.com/its-way-too-early-for-this/262803/| It's Way Too Early For This]" had a kid call out his parents for this. Both parents are heavy snorers. One day, while blocking access to the coffee machine and the fridge, they each accused the other of waking them up with loud snores. The OP, their teenage child, was having none of it; they shouted, "“YOU WERE BOTH SNORING SO LOUDLY LAST NIGHT THAT IT WOKE ME UP AT 2:00 AM! YOU WOKE ME UP, AND THEN YOU WOKE YOURSELVES UP WITH IT!” that ended the fight, and they were able to get breakfast.
