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]]. See also [[Cat Scare]].

Line 20:
* In ''[[Naruto]]'', when Naruto lost control of the Kyuubi, Sakura tried to calm him down and got slapped with a [[Hellfire]]-imbued tail for her trouble. She didn't really sneak up on him, he was just [[Unstoppable Rage|berserking]] and attacked her because she presented herself as a target.
* In ''[[G Gundam]]'', Rain Mikamura flips Chibodee over her shoulder one-handed when he taps her on the shoulder in a dark, creepy system of underground tunnel ruins.
* 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]].
