* In ''[[Ender's Game]]'', Ender is told "it won't hurt a bit" to have his monitor taken out, but Ender knows that adults say that when it ''is'' going to hurt.

* [[Discworld]] has the troll retrophrenologist truthfully informing his client "This won't hurt [[Exact Words|a bit]]" as he readies the mallet. (Phrenology being the pseudo-science based on determining a person's mental state and personality by measuring the skull and variations thereof. Retrophrenology "works" by introducing ''new'' variations to the skull to modify said mental state and personality...)

* There's a sequence in ''[[Unwind]]'' where a [[Walking Transplant]] on the operating table is notified that he may feel something in his feet, but not to worry. Then, a little later, he's told that he may feel something in his legs. This proceeds [[Body Horror|far longer than you might expect]].
