* In ''Fanfic/FuzzyMemories'', Kanaya makes an AnguishedConfessionOfLove to Isabel right before they're about to be "killed" by a fake SerialKiller. Not only is the timing questionable, she pairs this with a ForcefulKiss that Isabel does ''not'' appreciate.

Not only does it foil [[spoiler:Anthony]]'s own rescue mission, it also robs Sweeney of his chance to revenge himself on the Judge, tipping him into a HeroicBSOD.

* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'': Despite knowing that Lila is a ConArtist, Adrien [[AccompliceByInaction keeps his silence]] and refuses to do anything to expose her... until she steals from ''him''. He then goes straight to the police and reveals everything he knows, assuming that HonestyIsTheBestPolicy... without considering the surrounding circumstances. Namely that regardless of whether or not the police [[CassandraTruth believe him]] about the theft, he's outright admitting that he doesn't see anything wrong with the prospect of letting a ConsummateLiar swindle his "friends". Making matters worse for him is that this comes shortly after [[spoiler:his father was exposed as Hawkmoth]], and that the "emergency funds" account Lila illegally accessed was hidden from authorities.

** [[spoiler:Mizumi]] reveals that they're a SerialRapist who uses {{Blackmail}} to force their victims into sex, and forces [[spoiler:Ms. Otogi]] to confess the nature of the little white baggies they caught them with.
** [[spoiler:Yoko]] doesn't ''directly'' confess what they did, but panics enough over the prospect of being punished that the pyramid effectively figures out that they're feeling guilty over ''something''.
** [[spoiler:Nei also]] admits to being jealous of one of the other tourists, which gets them kidnapped by a coffin.
** Finally, there's Professor Tsuchida's HiddenDisdainReveal [[spoiler:and murder of Dr. Kuroe]], which doesn't end well for anyone involved.

It can be a secret the characters weren't suppose to learn about yet, a LoveConfession, or it may be the character confiding in something the Hero (in their current state of mind) finds heart breaking or morally reprehensible. Heck, they might even be revealing they were working for the bad guys all along - just so long as they do it at a bad moment.

* In the ''Music/ConfessionExecutiveCommitteeLoveSeries'' song "Right Now, I'll Fall in Love", the heroine finally decides to confess her love to her longtime crush and upperclassman after the school day ends. It was probably the worst time to do so (though it's not her fault); he comes back from watching his ''own'' crush get her feelings realized, and is heartbroken and in no mood to take any confession seriously. Unfortunately she does confess anyway, but he confuses it for pity and leaves.
