{{quote|'''Bender:''' Ah, the point is it's Morgan's fault. That pencil-pushing scazwag. Why, if she were here, I'd... uh-oh. [[Right Behind Me|Is she behind me]]?

Alice and Bob are having a private discussion about their friend Carol. Or, at least, it would be private if Carol weren't standing right there, in plain view, and making no attempt to hide her presence.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
{{examples}}
== Anime
* ''[[Minami-ke]]'''s Touma gets this a lot from her older brothers. The three brothers will regularly hold family meetings between them regarding Touma's behavior, or what to do about a birthday gift or Christmas present, all while Touma is sitting not five feet away from them seemingly ignoring them.
* ''[[Death Note]]'':
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
* In ''[[Daily Lives of High School Boys]]'' there's a scene in which Mitsuo walks into a room in which his friends are telling embarrassing stories about him. They notice his arrival, pause for a second, and then continue laughing at him as if he isn't there.
== Comic Books ==
* In ''Green Lantern #48'', Sinestro offers an allegiance to Atrocitus to destroy the Green Lanterns...while he and the leaders of all the other Corps are supposed to be [[Enemy Mine|banding together to fight the Black Lanterns]]...and Hal Jordan is within ear shot:
{{quote|'''Carol Ferris''': Um...Hal's right here.
'''Hal Jordan''': [[Magnificent Bastard|He knows that, Carol.]] }}
* One ''[[Retail]]'' strip showed Marla, Cooper, and Val discussing their plan to get an annoying co-worker fired...right in front of him. {{spoiler|They were unsuccessful in getting rid of him.}}▼
== Fan
* Happens to Crowley in the ''[[Good Omens]]'' [[Fanfic]] ''[[Manchester Lost]]''. [[All of the Other Reindeer|The only demon in a crowd of angels]] ([[Badass Family|Aziraphale's "family"]]), they know he's there and (after deciding not to smite him immediately) instead take to talking about him, [[Transparent Closet|his]] [[He Is Not My Boyfriend|boyfriend]], [[Embarrassing First Name|who]] [[Embarrassing Middle Name|he was]] and [[My Greatest Failure|why he Fell]], and giving him an overall headache. A bit of a subversion though because eventually they DO try to drag him into the conversation: "You know, the reason I'm sitting in the dark is so you ''don't'' talk to me."
* Happens in the ''Bleach'' fanfiction ''The Hell Butterfly Effect', where during Ichigo's meeting with the 13 Squads, Byakuya is telling Rukia to marry Ichigo. What follows may be the most awesome duologue example of this trope:
Line 125 ⟶ 124:
'''Alice:''' He only listens when he's talking.
''(the boss smiles peacefully)'' }}
▲* One ''[[Retail]]'' strip showed Marla, Cooper, and Val discussing their plan to get an annoying co-worker fired...right in front of him. {{spoiler|They were unsuccessful in getting rid of him.}}
Line 130:
* It's common for parents to talk to other people about their children as if they weren't in the room, even when they in close proximity.
* Disabled people get this a lot too, especially those with expressive language problems.
** Blind and nearsighted people can
