* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' book, ''[[Discworld/A Hat Full of Sky|A Hat Full of Sky]]'', when Roland came to wish Tiffany well on her apprenticeship, Miss Tick [[Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone|immediately declared in a sticky-sweet voice]] that she saw "a very fine and interesting example of a... a... a big stone over there," so she'll just go and have a look at it. Tiffany felt like pinching her for that.
** Then when she turns out to have been eavesdropping the whole time, she cheerfully explains that the stone wasn't ''that'' interesting.
* In [[Jane Austen]]'s ''[[Mansfield Park]]'', Tom Bertram ([[Values Dissonance|rudely]]) sits down next to the heroine, Fanny, making it clear he doesn't want to dance. Cue his mother coming over and asking him to play cards with her and his aunt. Tom, unfortunately, must decline because he was just about to dance with Fanny.

Played with in that [[Dramatic Irony|she's crushing on him too]], specifically ''because'' [[Geeky Turn On|he says weird things all the time]].
* In one of the original [[Winnie the Pooh]] stories, Piglet absolutely has to go and do... something... that only he can do... and that has to be done right now!
