** While were on the mention of sports, any team who's a rival to the Los Angeles Lakers or the Boston Celtics would qualify to those two since all they raelly care about is fighting against each other.
* Does anyone who doesn't live in Illinois or Wisconsin know or care about the Chicago Bears / Green Bay Packers rivalry?

* Hilarious heroic example in ''FullmetalAlchemist: Brotherhood''. The former CorruptBureaucrat Yoki lost everything after being defeated by the Elric brothers, but when he encounters them, neither remembers him. There's then a whole UnreliableVoiceover in silent movie style where he complains about his travails, but the Elrics don't pay any attention to him (and neither does anyone else in the room).

** The [[Series/StreetFighter Animated Series]] has his reply to Chun-Li: "Yes, yes, I killed your father. What is it with you women anyway? I killed my father too, and you don't hear ''me'' whining about it."

-->[[spoiler: Argost''']]: Did I? Oh, there were so many in those days. *smirks* One can hardly remember each individual scream.

* JusticeLeagueUnlimited, a Deadman possessed Wonder Woman beats the crap out of Devil Ray, telling him that he killed his mentor and friend. Devil Ray has no idea who he's talking about at first and tells him to be more specific.

* In ''{{Discworld/Feet of Clay}}'', Vimes was already angry at Vetinari's would-be assassin, because some poison from [[spoiler:borrowed candle-stubs]] had killed an innocent old woman and a baby on Cockbill Street. When Captain Carrot manages to corner the perpetrator, who was unaware of the collateral damage and only asks "were they important?", Carrot notes that the perpetrator was ''very'' lucky that it was him and not Vimes who got there first. [[spoiler:It turns out to be a moot point as the candlemaker is killed by the BigBad shortly after]].

* Similarly, in Canada, the {{War of 1812}} is essentially considered to be something just short of the "Great Patriotic War" that helped create Canada as a nation distinct from the USA. American history books make a big deal about how it inspired a huge wave of nationalism as well as our national anthem, but most Americans don't think much of it and might even assume it was just part of the the Revolution, and hardly anyone knows that Canada was even involved. In Britain, it's mentioned as an offshoot of the Napoleonic Wars, if at all.

-->'''Chester Hardwick:''' Truth is, they meant nothing to me. They were toys, a diversion, and from the moment I decided to kill them they were dead. They begged, they pleaded and it didn't matter because they didn't matter.

*** Of course, there could be another explanation...

** The Dutch supporters treat the Germans the same way. According to a German friend of this troper, they actually care more about England than us.
** You say "we" as if everyone cares. For those of us who have no interest in football (and there's plenty of us), the whole World Cup is in a sense "just Tuesday".

* Subverted in ''{{Goblins}}'' when Thaco finally gets his revenge on the Goblin Slayer, informing him that he'll consider this battle a "random encounter" and that there will be no stories or legends told about it. This infuriates the villain greatly.
