Line 7:
See also [[Future Me Scares Me]], so for this from the point of view from the past self, go there. Compare [[Old Shame]], a more mundane version of this trope, and [[Amnesiac Dissonance]], where something similar happens as a result of previously-hidden memories being recovered. Contrast [[Other Me Annoys Me]].

Line 27:
* In ''[[Kyon Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', Kyon thinks that Future!Kyon is arrogant and condescending and that Past!Kyon is incompetent. This is [[Playing With a Trope|played with]], as Kyon [[Discussed Trope|tells Koizumi]] that he mostly [[Invoked Trope|annoys himself so that he'll remember things that he'll have to do later]], but this was played straight during a later chapter when Future!Kyon sent a text to Kyon calling him an idiot for not seeking help from Yuki during an encounter with an enemy slider.
* In ''[[White Devil of the Moon]],'' [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha,]] who is the reincarnation of [[Sailor Moon|Princess Serenity,]] ''strongly'' disapproves of the Princess' actions during the era of the Moon Kingdom, leading to a [[Calling the Old Man Out|Calling The Old Woman Out]] moment against the ghost of the queen.
* In ''[[A Sticky Situation (Fanfic)|A Sticky Situation]]'', this is fairly true for Impmon. And for [[Family

Line 95:
* A book 4 arc of ''[[Fans]]'' pits the science fiction club against their book 1 versions, and nearly all of them have this reaction.
* Karkat of ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' gets into arguments with his past selves so often that it's practically become a [[Running Gag]]. And his future selves hate him just as much. He provides the page quote. It should probably be noted that [[Bizarre Alien Biology|the troll reproductive cycle]] has two reproductive relationships: one analogous to human romance (flushed, obviously represented by a heart) and one [[Foe Yay|based entirely on mutual hatred]] (caliginous, represented by a spade). [[Screw Yourself|Karkat <3< Karkat]] is all ''but'' confirmed by canon.
** [[Friend to All Living Things|Of all people,]] {{spoiler|Jade, who gets sick of Jadesprite's sobbing pretty quickly. When Jadesprite refuses to do the one thing that could probably get her the one thing she wants (to go back to being dead), Jade loses it and starts [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|smacking sense into her, literally]].}} This is an especially strange example, since {{spoiler|her dead dreamself}} went back in time thirteen years ago, making her some sort of past self from the future... [[Mind Screw|Or was it future self from the past?]]
* A non-[[Time Travel]] example occurs in ''[[The Dragon Doctors]]'' when Kili and Greg go to part of the [[Spirit World]] where a person's past self resides. Kili, a kind, sensitive shaman, is confronted by her bratty teenage self and Greg, a mellow writer, is distraught when he sees his [[Totally Radical]] headbanger self.
* ''[[Walkyverse|Shortpacked!]]'': [http://www.shortpacked.com/2010/comic/book-12/02-batman-jokes/thepoorfool/ Modern Age Batman meets Golden Age Batman.]
Line 113:
* ''[[South Park]]''- In the Go God Go duology, Cartman tries [[It Makes Sense in Context|warning himself not to freeze himself by using a phone designed to make prank calls in different periods in time]]. However, Past!Cartman doesn't believe Future!Cartman, and just insults him. This leads to Future!Cartman calling his past self an asshole.
* ''[[Ultimate Alien|Ben 10: Ultimate Alien]]'': Following a trans-dimensional mishap in one episode, 10-year-old Ben Tennyson meets his 16-year-old self. Ben doesn't hate his younger self, but he does find him incredibly rude and annoying, scolding him when he makes rude comments.
* In ''[[Generator Rex (Animation)|Generator Rex]]'', the eponymous character, suffering from chronic [[Laser
* A [[Running Gag]] in ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' has characters always acting hostile towards past, future ''and'' alternate versions of themselves.
** Excapt Bender. Because if there's one thing Bender loves, it's Bender.
* [[Vandal Savage]] in the ''[[Justice League]]'' episode "Hereafter". It took 30,000 years of self-imposed exile on the ruined Earth (which he ruined) as the last human being alive for him to give up his megalomania. As Savage prepares to send [[Superman]] back in time, Savage tells Superman that he must stop Savage's past self no matter what.
* While it's never directly stated, it's hard to believe future Twilight isn't thinking this in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "It's About Time". All she wants is to warn her past self about something, but her past self just won't shut up.
* In ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' episode "May the Best Stan Win", a cyborg Stan comes back in time to steal Francine from his past self, having realized in the intervening 1000 years how much he missed her. He actually convinces Francine to leave Present Stan by telling her "That man's just going to keep letting you down; I know, I ''was'' him!" When Present Stan fights back, Cyborg Stan has absolutely no problem beating him senseless.
