Line 15:
** She isn't the only person in ''Ranma ½'' who does this, though... unusually, however, the other people who do so tend to be Ranma's ''male rivals'', using this trope in relation to their particular love interest being upset and them blaming that fact on Ranma (and using it as an excuse to try and beat the hell out of him). A good example would be Ryoga and Kuno attacking Ranma after he "kissed" Akane during the first Nekoken story, an event that Ranma doesn't remember due to "Kitty Ranma" being a kind of split personality.
** Never mind that fact that it was Kuno who awakened "Kitty Ranma" in by exposing him to his fear of cats, but is too proud and stupid to take responsibility for the incident.

* ''[[Tokyo Tribe]] 2'' has this with the reason why Mera wants to kill Kai. For the first several episodes, we don't know what it is, with Mera and Skunk hitting Kai with these lines early on, in flashback and in present time. As it turns out in episode 12, what Kai did was actually {{spoiler|a lie Skunk told Mera to break up his and Kai's friendship. The lie? That Kai pushed Fujio, Mera's girlfriend, in front of an incoming train. The truth? She committed suicide for unknown reasons, and Kai thought that she was accidentally pushed out of the crowd onto the tracks.}}

* Present in the ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' films ([[Broken Base|but not the books]]). It drives a wedge between Frodo and Sam during their journey through Mordor.
* Subverted in the movie ''[[13 Going
* Subverted nicely in the Will Smith film ''[[Hitch]]'', where the object of his affections took the word of a known [[Smug Snake]], with every reason to lie, and proceeded to break up with Hitch without explanation, then trash him in her gossip column, before confronting him at a restaurant one night. Hitch, after pausing for shock, calls her out on this and corrects her loudly in front of everyone, leaving her looking quite the fool.
** Then the film follows up with having her apologize and him not accept it, thus making the true climax him publicly apologizing for not accepting her apology, and begging her to come back to him.

Line 53:
** However, Dexter has just recently revealed that he is a drug addict and he has been lying to her about things to hide his addiction. So it is not much of a stretch for her to believe that he would cheat on her as well. At least she does not find out that he is lying about being a drug addict and is actually a serial killer.
** When Rita finally confronts Dexter about it, he answers truthfully: he didn't have sex with Lila ''that'' night.
* Thomas Riker uses this to his advantage in the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space 9]]'' episode "Defiant". Realising that Chief O'Brien would be likely to spot that he wasn't his identical twin Will Riker, he acts snooty around him saying "You know why!" O'Brien defers to Riker's superior rank and leaves him alone - which is exactly what Tom wanted.
* Subverted in ''[[Veronica Mars]]'', when the [[Alpha Bitch]] claims that she and Logan had had sex. True to trope, Veronica believed this unquestioningly, and confronted Logan about it. They had.
* Tim and Marsha get into one of these in the penultimate episode of ''[[Spaced]]''. Marsha, who believes Tim and Daisy to be a couple, has seen Tim kissing his new girlfriend and confronts him about cheating on Daisy, threatening to inform her. Tim, however, does not know this, and because Marsha does not actually explicitly say anything about what she's seen, believes that Marsha is in fact referring to a birthday cake Tim has arranged for Daisy as a nice birthday surprise. [[Hilarity Ensues|Complications, naturally, ensue]].

* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' "Operation Dogfight" doesn't actually use the phrase, but it's a YKWYD plot anyway, and one that works to boot: some kid who has shot down Numbuh 2 several times walks in with a chili dog into a hobby shop where 2 is shopping and gives 2 a [[Death Glare]]. At first go, one is led to conclude that he's being all "Hey, I'M the new king of the sky now, so stay out!" {{spoiler|However, when they both shoot each other down, the kid is all "At least I stopped you from bombing the chili dog factory," and it becomes obvious that the kid was actually giving him a "You know what you're doing" glare from having heard from the shop owner that 2 was planning to do just that. With both of their planes wrecked and out of the way, the shop owner goes off to bomb the chili dog factory himself, [[Disproportionate Retribution|angry at how customers always spill chili sauce on his counter]].}}
* Said in one episode of ''[[
* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Beezy being haunted by a [[Our Ghosts Are Different|ghost]]. When he tries to figure out why, the ghost simply replies "You know what you did."
* In an episode of ''[[Doug]]'', the title character manages to destroy a condemned house [[With This Herring|with a single rock]] to impress [[Oblivious to Love|Patti]]. However, this causes her to hate him for the duration of the episode because {{spoiler|it was ''her'' old house back when her mother was still alive.}} The episode is exacerbated because Patti (and later Bebe, who asks her about it on Doug's request) refuse to pass that information onto Doug.
