* In ''[[Fushigiboshi no Futagohime]]'' the [[Big Bad]]'s plan to conquer the world by convincing world leaders that [[Bandwagon Technique|everyone else has already surrendered]] to him. He's already next the prince of his homeland so he simply convinces his parents to retire. Next he steals the royal seal from the Moon Kingdom and uses it to falsify a treaty of surrender. Armed with this he then proceeds to the other kingdoms. '''You'd Expect''': The world leaders would attempt to find out why the Moon Kingdom surrendered, which would naturally lead to them finding out the treaty had been forged. '''Instead''': upon being shown the treaty they immediately surrender. '''Furthermore''': every prince and the princess including the [[Big Bad]]'s sister knows he's a villain, but no one listens to them.

* ''[[Rocket Girls]]'': The girls in orbit rendevouz with a Space Shuttle, and while they're aboard, the Shuttle crew offer a "goods exchange": trade items with their mission logos. The only things the girls have with the SSA logo on it are their pens. '''You'd expect''': Somebody would think to trade SSA pens for NASA pens. '''Instead''': The girls give away their only pens in exchange for mission patches from the Shuttle's crew. ([[Fridge Logic|What were the Shuttle crew doing with extra mission patches in orbit? It costs over $50,000 to launch 1kg of mass into orbit aboard a Space Shuttle; ''nothing'' non-essential went into orbit at the time.]] Anyway.) This comes back to bite them when the capsule's mission parameters change in mid-flight and the girls have to record a list of times and durations that they ''need'' in order to land safely. '''You'd expect''': The flight specialist to call up a text editor on the capsule's computer display and record the numbers there... assuming Mission Control doesn't simply transmit them directly to the capsule's computer. '''Instead''': Everybody lets the mission specialist — who they ''know'' blacks out when subjected to thrust above 4 Gs — memorize the numbers and hope she doesn't black out again. Of course she does black out during the very first (8 G) course correction, and it's only the flight specialist being [[Hot-Blooded]] in an otherwise-serious series that gets them home alive. ''Everybody'' was carrying the Idiot Ball in that scene.
