History AgonyOfTheFeet / Literature

* Happens in all seven 'Literature/HarryPotter'' books to all three main characters. Justified to an extent -- their robes makes it rather easy to stomp someone's foot without it being noticed, so it's the main way they [[BeQuietNudge get each other to shut up]].

* ''Literature/DarkShores'' Upon arriving in Mudamora through a [[{{Teleportation}} xenthier]], Lydia is wearing only a bathing gown and has to walk quite a long distance upon rough land on bare feet. And then her foot falls through a sewer grate and she also hurts her ankle.

** One of Adora Belle Dearheart's favorite tactics against people who makes sexist remarks, or try to stop her from smoking her ever-present cigarettes. It helps that she wears stiletto heels. Though she suffers the effects of this trope herself as well when she decides to spike the foot of a City Watch officer who's made of rock.

* In ''Literature/AmberBrown Is Tickled Pink'', Amber, her mother and her stepfather to be visit Camp Sukkatukket, a camp owned by the father of one of Amber's classmates, Fredrich Allen. When Fredrich spots them, he drops a hammer that he was using to repair the cabin porch out of shock and then starts hopping up and down. He dropped it because he wasn't expecting Amber and her family there and the two of them aren't even friends at the time. (Though they become friends during the visit.)

** In the [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince sixth book]], Harry (again) kicks a wall out of frustration wearing only a sock and hops (this time trying to enter the Room of Requirement without success). Unsurprisingly, this makes him yell "OUCH!", and when he takes his sock of, realises he’s broken his pinky toe

** In ''Discworld/MakingMoney'', Cosmo Lavish, the novel’s antagonist who’s obsessed with Vetinari, gets a pair of shoes stolen from the palace and suffers Agony of the Feet because they’re much too small as Cosmo is very large, while Vetinari and his clerk, who the shoes may have actually belonged to, are both thin.

* In ''Literature/ShadowOfTheConqueror,'' Daylen's [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] during his interrogation pisses Lyrah off enough that she crushes a couple of toes on one of his feet. Daylen responds [[InLoveWithYourCarnage with indulgent approval]], [[GoodThingYouCanHeal regenerating the damage]], thinking that it was WorthIt, and joking that all he's suffering is "a little pain in the ass." This is, of course, a good example of what Daylen is like in the "juvenile playfulness" phase of his [[MoodSwinger wild mood swings.]]
