The demons of [[Wangst]] have possessed Bob, sending him spiraling into a [[Heroic BSOD]]. He begins to spill out all of his sorrows to Alice, who promptly informs Bob that she does not give a shit. Bob has a job to do, and he had better not let his Wangst get in the way of performing his duty.
This trope comes in many flavors. If the viewers/readers perceive Bob to be [[The Scrappy]], this trope will make it seem as if Bob is [[Take That, Scrappy!|getting what he deserves]], and Alice is doing what she should be doing. If the viewers/reader perceive Bob to be [[The Woobie]], this trope will make Alice seem like a [[Jerkass]]. Or, if Bob is entering a [[Wangst]] storm that seems uncharacteristic of him, and this trope manages to make him snap out of it, neither characters will be viewed negatively. Or, it could backfire spectacularly, causing Bob to remain in his [[Heroic BSOD]] and making Alice seem like an idiot.
Bob does not need to explicitly tell Alice what it is he is Wangsting about—if Alice can infer, or has been informed of, what the subject of the Wangst is, she can perform this trope anyway.

* In [[Bakuman｡]], Takahama frequently complains about his editor, Miura, trying to get him to make his series have more humor, even at the expense of the story, and the main characters often view Miura similarly. He meets with the editor in chief to request a different editor, only to have his request denied, and told that if he can't write what he wants, it simply means he isn't good enough yet. Takahama leaves, chastened, and the main characters admit that they've been blaming Miura too much.
* [[Naruto]] delivers this to Inari in the Land of Waves arc, tired of hearing Inari constantly insist that they can never defeat Gato. After Inari runs off in tears, Kakashi follows him, and notes that Naruto had a hard childhood, but decided to do something about it rather than pity himself, which is why he said what he did. He also does this with the princess in the Land of Vegetables filler, telling her he doesn't like her viewing people as expendable even if she was used as a hostage in the past.
* In [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]], Signum's reaction to Teana protesting and saying that [[Training
* In [[Mai-Otome]], Arika, having a [[Heroic BSOD]] after events during and after the [[Wham! Episode]], including {{spoiler|her friend Erstin's death}} declares she [[Ten-Minute Retirement|quits being an Otome]] and runs off, only to get swallowed by a sand monster along with Mashiro. Arika complains about some of her troubles, prompting Mashiro to say that she's not the only one suffering, leading to a discussion that causes both of them to renew and refocus their resolve.
