Line 93:
** There's an episode where a married couple is found to have genital herpes. The wife, naturally, is furious, assuming her husband to be unfaithful. He denies it. House then proposes that one of them could've picked it up in a public toilet. The wife claims she knows about it and always covers the toilet seat. The husband claims he never knew. All seems resolved... then House points out that the husband agreed way too quickly. Turns out the guy really is a cheater.
* Played with in ''[[Friends]]''. Rachel and Phoebe see Chandler meet with an attractive blonde lady and follow them out to a house in Westchester where the two of them spend almost an hour together. They, Joey and Ross leap to the conclusion that Chandler is cheating on Monica when in reality the lady was a realtor who was showing the house. Kind of an [[Idiot Ball]] moment, since they immediately assume the worst about their friend.
* Used in an entirely non-comedic way in ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. [[The Scrappy|Cally]] spots her husband Galen having a long and intimate talk with Tory at a bar and accuses him of having an affair with her. He can't exactly tell her that he was really discussing {{spoiler|that both he and Tory happen to be Cylons. And when Cally spies on them and discovers they are Cylons, Tory kills her. Galen kills Tory when he finds out.}}
** Also, Cally wasn't just imagining things {{spoiler|because Tory and Galen were engaged in a past life and a bit of attraction was coming out in the bar.}}
* Early in the first season of ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'', Francie suspects that her boyfriend, Charlie, is cheating. Sydney and Francie follow Charlie and find him meeting with an attractive blonde woman, into whose car he loads a bag, before driving off with her, while he has told Francie he has a law review. It turns out that she {{spoiler|is his partner for a MUSICAL act, and he wants to be a singer}}.
