* In ''WebVideo/KanePixelsTheBackrooms'', this is ZigZagged considerably concerning the [[ResearchInc ASYNC Foundation]]. After they open a portal to [[EldrichLocation The Backrooms]], they send researchers through to investigate, while following a long list of common-sense safety protocols: researchers must wear {{Hazmat Suit}}s, travel in groups of no less than three, and carry tethers along with other safety equipment. And, when one researcher encounters [[HumanoidAbomination the Bacteria entity]], they block off the corridor until they can issue weaponry to their employees. At the same time, however, ASYNC is determined to push onwards with its [[JustThinkOfThePotential grand plans]] of using the infinite space of the Backrooms [[MundaneUtility for real estate development]], despite mounting evidence that they're meddling with [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow cosmic forces they can't possibly understand]].

* The narrator of ''WebOriginal/TheCrawlspace'' makes good decisions for a horror story protagonist. She is ''immediately'' suspicious of such a large apartment in a prime location with so many relative luxuries (like a washer and dryer) being so cheap and wouldn't have chosen to stay there at all if her roommates hadn't insisted, starts locking her bedroom door when she realises [[spoiler:there's something sinister lurking in the apartment]] and immediately makes plans to leave when [[spoiler: the creature tries to enter their room]].
