* ''[[Harry Potter]]'': Ron gets increasingly more annoyed each time Hermione does this.
** Of course, Ron also gets annoyed whenever Hermione attempts a detailed explanation so its not surprising Hermione eventually fell back on 'Shut up and just do it.'
* This also happens in the ''[[The Pendragon Adventure|Pendragon]]'' series, where Bobby, Gunny, and Spader initially think that stopping the [[Hindenburg]] explosion would save the future but upon a trip to the future Bobby and Gunny find out that {{spoiler|stopping the Hindenburg explosion would allow Hitler to win World War II. Spader refuses to believe this, as he cannot conceive how they could know this. He might have understood if Bobby or Gunny had taken more time to explain things to him; however, they also had to stop someone else from stopping the explosion, and couldn't take the time to explain things to him. However, he might not have understood, as Spader typically is overcome by his own emotions.}}
* Painfully used in ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'' where there is no time to explain anything to Rand Al'Thor, on their long trek across the entire kingdom.

** With good reason, in this case. If Rand had turned out ''not'' to be the actual Dragon Reborn, it would be better if he hadn't been told the whole story. False Dragons (usually self-deluded into believing they're the real thing) often cause an incredible amount of havoc before they're brought down, so it's better not to give him any ideas until they can be sure he's The One.
* In ''[[The Mysterious Benedict Society|The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey]]'', Reynie uses this to fend off questions from Joe "Cannonball" Shooter about why he and the other members of the Society aren't accompanied by any adults. It works quite easily, given that Cannonball is the sort of guy who is always on the move anyway.
