Line 7:
Can play out near-identically to [[Right Behind Me]], with the key difference being that Alice and Bob are fully aware of Carol's presence the entire time (or, if they're not, then [[Failed a Spot Check|they really should be]]). They're merely speaking of her as if she wasn't present. Might also result in a [[Right in Front of Me]] moment, depending on the status of the person being ignored. Either way, it's clear that the people making the remarks either [[Failed a Spot Check]] or [[Jerkass|just don't care]] that the [[Butt Monkey|target]] [[The Woobie|of their]] [[The Chew Toy|conversation]] is right there with them.
 
If this happens to [[The Hero]], they may be wondering [[Dude Where's My Respect|Dude, Where's My Respect?]] Compare [[You Know I'm Black Right|You Know I'm Black, Right?]] Contrast [[Right in Front of Me]], in which Alice and/or Bob ''don't know'' that the other person in the room is Carol.
 
If Alice and Bob know that Carol is here but don't figure out she is concerned by their commentary, this is an [[Oblivious Mockery]].

** Unlike most examples, Matsuda is actually in another room, watching via surveillance (but he had contacted them moments ago), so it's somewhat natural that they'd forget about him for a moment. Also, this is arguably the kind of thing L would do deliberately.
* In episode 4 of ''[[Pani Poni Dash]]!'', the girls discuss ways you could slip cheat sheets into a test, while the teacher ''giving'' that test is right there in the room constantly reminding them of her presence.
* In the very first episode of ''[[Gundam 00]]'', Graham and Billy are observing the Enact mobile suit's first public demonstration. When Billy makes an offhand comment that the Enact is just a cheap knockoff of the Flag with a different exterior design, [[Small Name, Big Ego|the pilot]] loudly objects.

* This [[Running Gag|often happens]] in ''[[Dilbert]]'', usually involving employees insulting the [[Pointy -Haired Boss]] and/or his demands. Most of the time, he either [[Captain Oblivious|completely fails to notice]] or becomes angrier and angrier in each frame, with the implication that he [[Rage Breaking Point|hits his limit]] just after the last panel. In at least one case, he doesn't even ''hear'' the insult:
{{quote| '''Asok:''' You said that right in front of him.<br />
'''Alice:''' He only listens when he's talking.<br />
