** Harry's ejection is the long term result of him not considering the consequence of his actions. Harry spent years associating with monsters, openly opposing the Senior Council, and avoiding the wizarding community at large, so very few people actully know him as a person, but by his less then stellar reputation. Even after the events of Literature/SummerKnight Harry never took the idea that it would reach a point where he be more trouble then he's worth, and the council would simply get rid of him.

* ''Literature/GoblinSlayer'': In Volume 5, a group of adventurers attempted to stake out the entrance to a goblins' den til they either starved inside or they blindly charge out to their deaths. Goblin Slayer notes that it's a good idea on paper when he hear of it. However, they didn't take into account the time, energy and resources it would take to camp out on a mountain in the middle of winter, [[spoiler: nor did they realize that they were actually staking out an auxiliary temple rather than their actual lair.]]

* ''Literature/TheQueensThief'':
** Gen goes through quite a lot to become engaged to the woman he loves, and only after several near-death experiences and grueling sessions of diplomatic negotiations does he properly process that [[spoiler: marrying the Queen of Attolia...will make him the ''King'' of Attolia.]] Of course he did already know that beforehand, he just refused to think about it until he had absolutely no way left to avoid doing so, at which point he freaks out.
** Additionally, he doesn't realize leaving earrings in [[spoiler: Irene's]] rooms won't come across as a gift, but rather as a taunt, because it's proof he can get into her private space without her knowledge. Or that she might have some difficulty believing that someone who is [[spoiler: a prince of a nation she is currently at war with--because she ''cut off that same prince's hand'', mind you--]] and who as far as she knows has never met her before they came into conflict is genuinely in love with her and not just screwing with her.

* ''Literature/TheHike2023'':
** Liz says that when she first suggested a trial separation to Patrick, she'd secretly hoped he would tell her what a crazy idea that was and reaffirm their love for each other. Instead, Patrick responded that he thought it was a ''good'' idea because of how bad things have gotten in their marriage, leaving Liz with little choice but to agree.
** Joni is persuaded to give a music performance for the lodge guests; Helena films it and uploads it to her Instagram. Joni's managers get wind of the video and the next day she receives a call saying she'll probably need a lawyer. Joni impulsively abandoned her music tour and has now been videoed performing at a separate venue, meaning she's in breach of her contract; she was caught up in the moment so the legal ramifications didn't even cross her mind at the time. When she asks Helena why she uploaded the video, Helena retorts that she just wanted to keep a special memory of her friend and show how proud she is of her; she has less than 20 followers on Instagram, so she didn't realise it would get noticed by anyone else.
** At the start of the trail, a local woman warns Liz to turn back because a storm is coming; Liz brushes off her warning and doesn't mention it to her friends because the weather looks fine at the moment, the forecast was mixed at worst and she doesn't want to go back. The weather turns extremely nasty on the second night; the friends are forced to shelter in a cave from the thunderstorm because their tents can't withstand the downpour and the metal poles would make them a target for lightning strikes, leaving their belongings behind. The next morning they discover [[spoiler:the storm caused a landslide that went right through their camp, destroying their supplies]]. Liz admits she didn't consider just how bad things could get if there was a storm, nor did she consider the effect it would have on Joni, who she knows is terrified of storms (she has to practically drag her out of the tent).
** Joni impulsively steals [[spoiler:a bag of cocaine]] she and her friends found stashed in a cave. At the time she was only thinking about [[spoiler:feeding her habit]], especially with how stressful their current situation is, but as her horrified friends point out, the person who left the [[spoiler:cocaine]] will realise some is missing and will likely come looking for whoever took it, and they probably won't be a particularly savoury person. [[spoiler:Vilhelm and Leif indeed come looking for them and Vilhelm nearly kills them all]].

* Discussed in ''Literature/HowNotToWriteANovel'':
-->Sometimes a writer knows where she wants to end up but can see no plausible way to get from A to Q. Instead she announces “Q!” in a confident tone, often following up with some vague comments about “long conversations have led to this,” or “fevered negotiations had been required, and somehow all issues were finally resolved,” or worst of all, “It was as if John had somehow turned into a different man.” If John somehow turns into a different man and we do not witness that transformation , the editor considering your novel will somehow turn into an editor considering a different novel.

* ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'': The plot of ''The Eternity Code'' kicks off when Artemis build the C Cube, a miniaturized supercomputer built using fairy technology that's lightyears ahead of anything else on the market. His grand plan? Invite technology magnate Jon Spiro (a man rumoured to have made his fortune off the back of stolen technology) to lunch, brag to his face about how the C Cube will make his company's products obsolete overnight, and offer to give him a year to prepare before launching it. [[DownplayedTrope While he does consider the possibility of Spiro trying to steal it]], he arrogantly assumes that Butler's presence, and the Cube's eponymous Eternity Code encryption, will be enough of a deterrent. He's dead wrong.
