* In ''[[Moby Dick]]'', Ishmael isn't put off by having to share a bed with a complete stranger, until he discovers the stranger in question is a [[Wild Samoan]]. An example of [[Values Dissonance]], as that was how inns and guest houses worked back then. A bed to yourself was very, very expensive.
* Ayla and Jondoloar from the ''[[Earth's Children]]'' series are constantly meeting new people, who are (almost) always helpful and friendly.
* In ''[[Lonely Werewolf Girl]]'' Moonglow and Daniel take in werewolf Kalix no questions asked, even when they know she is a werewolf with self destructive tendencies, no social skills, and hunted by, well pretty much everyone.

** Cash in their entire life savings - and hand the cash over to him - to bet on a horse race!
** Take out a mortgage on their homes - and hand it over to him - to invest in the stock market.
** Take his word for it when a loved-one is sick or missing. Most people are satisfied with, "I think I know where to find him," or "You're just going to have to trust me." Never mind that Johnathan is a drifter with no ID and a new job in every episode.
