Line 118:
* In [[John C. Wright]]'s ''[[The Golden Oecumene|The Golden Age]]'', the amnesiac Phaethon hears himself denounced as ungrateful and later learns that he is suing to have his father declared dead after his father had died to save him and been revived from a noumenal recording. {{spoiler|Still later, he recovers his memory. He learns that his dying father had asked him to do something and pledged him monetary support so he could do it; he was suing to get the money to carry out his father's [[Last Request]].}}
* In ''[[Warrior Cats]]'', Brokenstar plots with {{spoiler|Tigerstar}} to take over Thunderclan, even though the same clan gave him shelter when he was blinded and '''saved him from being murdered''' by two other clans. Even his own clanmates don't treat him with the same kindness as Thunderclan.
* No matter how many times [[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]] saves his school, the students of Hogwarts will still turn against him on a moment's notice on the strength of lies purported by the government. Meanwhile, Harry never shows any gratitude to Snape for saving his life in the first book, or for attempting to save him and his friends from Sirius Black (at the time believed to be a mass murderer), or for saving their life ''again'' in ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (novel)|Order of the Phoenix]]''. Of course, Snape's a dick to Harry, but you'd think saving his life would merit at least a "thank you" from a kid whose defining characteristic is love.
** In Harry's defense, he didn't know about the first one until it was months too late to say anything, Snape immediately voided whatever gratitude Harry might have owed him for the second incident by deliberately lying about what happened to try and to get Sirius murdered an hour later, and by the time Harry first saw Snape again after the third incident Snape was in full double agent mode and doing his absolute best to convince Harry (and everyone else) he was actually working for Voldemort.
** Draco Malfoy. Ron even lampshades it:
