Line 96:
* In a [[Sarah Dessen]] novel ''Just Listen'', Annabel gets into a car with Owen, who has a reputation for anger management issues. He takes out a hammer and she starts imagining headlines of her murder when he carefully buckles her in—the passenger seat's seat belt is broken.
* Happens in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', almost literally. Daenerys is given a box from a stranger. She opens it, when an old man hits her hands with a staff, knocking the box out of them. It turns out that the box contained a manticore, a highly venomous, (possibly) scorpion-like creature.
* In the ''[[Dresden Files]]'' book ''Fool Moon'', Murphy shoots in Henry's direction after he refused to get down (Henry was busy at the moment). Henry thought Murphy shot him after he regained consciousness. It's entirely possible, even likely, that this trope was also going the other way too (Henry was attacking something behind Murphy, but Murphy wasn't explicitly described as being scared).
