A variant of this is "Does (Character B) feel like this ''all the time?''", said after Character A behaved in a way they strongly associate with Character B.

* In ''[[Kim Possible]]: A Sitch in Time'', Monique acts as a substitute for Ron while he is in Norway. Kim says this to Monique during a battle after Monique is [[Fish Out of Water|shocked]] when one of Duff Killigan's golfballs explodes.
** When Drakken interrogates a kidnapped scientist in another episode, she tells him "You make no sense to me." Shego replies "Welcome to my ''life''."
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
'''Grampa Simpson:''' Ehh, welcome to my world! }}
* In ''[[Scrubs]]'', when Cox is forced to sack a junior cafeteria employee, Kelso tells him, "Welcome to my world. And now try going home to my wife."
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** In ''[[Discworld/Thud|Thud!]]'' Vimes manages to work out that the Vampire he was sort of but not really forced to employ was {{spoiler|a spy for Rhys Rhysson, Low King of the Dwarves}} in a time of almost sort of war. After utilising this to his advantage and noting that this means that no one will ever be able to tell him who he can and can't employ again he muses if this is how Lord Vetinari feels all the time.
** Moist von Lipwig has a similar feeling near the end of ''[[Discworld/Going Postal|Going Postal(Discworld)]]'', after successfully manipulating his enemies.
* Nicely done in the ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' pilot when Bruce invokes the trope after hiring Terry to be his assistant. Terry's mother thinks it's welcoming Terry to the world of big business and all that Bruce Wayne represents. Terry and Bruce (and the viewer) both know it holds more meaning than that.
* A variation is said by [[Bald Black Leader Guy|Roy]] in one ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0209.html strip].
