Line 12:
One common variation is for the victim to be playing a prank on the attacker by dressing as something they don't like, [[Deadly Prank|without considering that fear may lead to violence.]] Or it may be a [[Subversion]] of [[Cooldown Hug]], where it fails to have the desired effect and just angers the huggee even more (possibly leading to a [[Deadly Hug]]).
[[Friend or Foe]] is the [[Super-Trope]], while [[Wake Up Fighting]] is a common [[Sub-Trope]]. Can be a [[Reflexive Response]]. See also [[Cat Scare]].

Line 22:
* In ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' this happens if a pilot loses control of the ZERO System. It's a combat system, so one has to maintain absolute focus; if you start thinking about your girlfriend or that [[Bus Full of Innocents]] over there, the System will tell you the best way to [[Shoot the Dog|kill them]], which tends to lead to a slippery slope right down into a [[Freak-Out]]. In at least one instance the response to such a [[Freak-Out]] was to have the pilot's allies clear the area.
* In ''[[Elfen Lied]]'', Bando punched a woman with that excuse, and, by extension, [[Kick the Dog|Kicked a Dog]].
* [[Golgo 13]] does not sit when meeting clients because he has a [[Reflexive Response]] of attacking if someone disturbs him from behind while he's seated.

* In ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]],[[Kid Sidekick|Gordito]] is reluctant to [[Wake Up Fighting|wake up]] Dr. McNinja for this very reason. The good doctor's parents apparently ingrained it into him [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood|by attacking him in his sleep]], because...[[Ninja|well...]]he's a [[McNinja]].''
