* Anyone who has read [[Stephen King]]'s ''Everything's Eventual'' will know that [[Ungrateful Bitch|Diane]], the character from the short story ''Lunch at the Gotham Cafe'', is '''definitely''' this trope. You would think, that even after her husband just saved her life from a psychotic waiter, even after she treated him very coldly, not to mention demanding a divorce, would at least warrant a "thank you" from her!
* ''[[Discworld]]'' heroes often get this, especially the ones who saved the world from certain destructuiondestruction, because people become a lot less certain about how certain it was. In particular, we're told in ''[[Discworld/Eric|Eric]]'' that there was some talk of building a statue of Rincewind after he saved the world from the Dungeon Dimensions (again) in ''[[Discworld/Sourcery|Sourcery]]'', but as the wizards became more determined to [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again|pretend it never happened]] (since they were the ones who started a magical war and opened the rift in the first place) this became a comemorativecommemorative plaque, then a commendation on the roll of honour, and finally an official reprimand for being improperly dressed.
* The ''Sisterhood'' series by [[Fern Michaels]]: The protagonists, of all people, are these! ''Payback'' has Mark Lane save Julia's life, and instead of being grateful, Charles Martin sends three men with presidential gold shields to intimidate Mark, and the three men perform a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] on Mark's friend Jack Emery. In that book ''Deja Vu'', almost all the men working with the Vigilantes up and leave, and Charles has to explain to the ladies that their men risk their lives, careers and reputations on a daily basis for them, and they have never shown any sort of gratitude for their men! Unfortunately, the ladies do not take that to heart, because the men successfully find the ladies' target, point out his location, and the women respond to this by performing a No Holds Barred Beatdown on their target in front of their men, without even allowing the men to have a piece of him! [[Ungrateful Bitch]]es!
