* A darker version is used in Ibsen's ''[[A Dolls House (Theatre)|A Dolls House]]''. Nora Helmer has borrowed money to send her seriously ill husband Torvald on a trip that saves his life. Unfortunately, the man who lent her the money (who is Torvald's employee) blackmails her that he'll tell her husband unless she gets him a promotion. After some complications, Torvald finds out what she did and [[Ungrateful Bastard|snaps at her]] because the blackmail and her actions reflect badly on [[~~Its~~ All About Me|him]] (especially since she had committed forgery at some point). Then he finds out that the other man changed his mind about blackmailing him. He generously "forgives" her and gives her a good deal of the "you didn't know better" part of the trope. Nora coldly thanks him, but then she proceeds to give him [[The Reason You Suck Speech]] and leaves the house. The exit scene is described as the most dramatic doorslam in the history of theatre.

* ''[[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]]'' has this in spades, mostly on the part of [[~~G La DOS~~/Self Demonstrating|G La DOS]], who's spent an undefined but ''very long'' time reliving the last few minutes of her defeat at Chell's hands [[And I Must Scream|on endless repeat]] and is (perhaps understandably) very bitter.
