Defenestrate and Berate: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

'''Matt''': Well, all my clothes on the front lawn usually does it for me.|''Two Of A Kind''}}

 

* In ''Divorcing Jack,'' the protagonist cheats on his wife and she melts his prize records in retaliation.

* In ''[[Vorkosigan Saga|Komarr]]'' by [[Lois McMaster Bujold]], this trope is subverted in that Ekaterin Vorsoisson isn't throwing her husband Tien out for infidelity, but leaving him because he's a bribe-taking traitor. And that it's ''him'' throwing the tantrum while she simply stands there quietly clutching her remaining dignity to her, demanding that she stay with him and trying to (entirely irrationally) blame her for his crimes, and pitching her prized bonsai tree (in the family for 70 years!) off a fifth-story balcony at one point to punctuate his childish rant. Her only reaction?

* In the novel ''Fools Die'', one of the character's wife cuts his clothes to ribbons and then [[A Date with Rosie Palms|masturbates on the pile with a vibrator]].

* In ''The Last Days'' by Scott Westerfeld, this is how Moz gets an expensive electric guitar for free, and also how he meets Pearl.
