* ''Film/{{Midsommar}}'': Mark has to go pee, so he chooses a random tree and unzips. It turns out this is the ancestral tree of the Harga, and they angrily berate him for his disrespectful attitude. [[spoiler: Mark is then killed and turned into one of the sacrifices for the festival]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' episode, "Around the World in 80 Narfs", while the duo travel through Italy, Pinky's travel book mentions odd hand gestures that Italians would find offensive; by stroke of bad luck, [[AccidentalUnfortunateGesture Brain ends up doing these gestures in response to being]] [[ScaryStingingSwarm attacked by a swarm of bees,]] infuriating the locals.

* A Planetary excample from ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. A group of aliens is offended when they enter the Enterprise's mess hall. Turns out, in their culture, eating in front of others is considered taboo. Thankfully, they accept a sincere apology for the misunderstanding, later.
* Janeway offends a whole planet in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' because it turns out that in their culture, putting your hands on your hips is [[AccidentalUnfortunateGesture the most offensive gesture possible.]]

* ''WebAnimation/{{The Champions|2018}}'': While picking out a new outfit for Luka Modric, Dani Alves comes across a Croatia national team shirt. After throwing it away because he didn't like the checker pattern, Modric tells him he just offended all of Croatia. Alves doesn't help the situation by donning a Croatian Polo cap and posting a selfie with it.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', [[TooDumbToLive Saint Charlos]] of the [[AristocratsAreEvil World Nobles]] makes the mother of all FeeFiFauxPas by openly attempting to enslave [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses princess]] [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Shirahoshi]] of Fishman Island, right in front of her family, in the first day of the Levely, a meeting of the kings, queens and assorted monarchs of the member nations of the World Government that takes place every four years in order for its members to discuss and set the course of worldwide politics. Naturally, Shirahoshi's family does ''not'' take it well, and while a few other dignataries protest against it, Charlos simply orders [[PraetorianGuard CP0]] to kill anyone who tries to stop him. Mind you, attacking a World Noble for lesser slights has been answered with in the past by sending a freaking ''[[PersonOfMassDestruction Admiral]]'' against the offending party. Considering that several of the aforementioned dignataries [[OneDegreeOfSeparation had become friendly both with Shirahoshi and each other solely on the account of being personally acquainted with the Straw Hat Pirates]], [[IOweYouMyLife who had saved their countries in the past]], it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that their countries [[ThisMeansWar would've gone to war against the World Government over the incident]], with the [[AFriendInNeed Straw Hats]] (and by extension the [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores Straw Hat Grand Fleet]] and maybe the [[LaResistance Revolutionary]] [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified Army]]) getting involved the ''second'' they heard about it and [[SerialEscalation possibly escalating the conflict into a worldwide scale.]] Luckily, the whole incident is defused by [[WhiteSheep Saint]] [[OnlySaneMan Mjosgard]], who was influenced by Shirahoshi's mother in the past to [[HeelFaceTurn become a better person]] and intends to repay the Neptune Family, by [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem smacking Charlos in the face]] with a [[CarryABigStick spiked club]] and ordering his slaves to release Shirahoshi and [=CP0=] to stand down. Good thing too, since [[PapaWolf King Neptune]] was about to [[CurbstompBattle get himself killed trying to save his daughter.]]
