To represent this, 2nd Edition Spyre hunter teams had to start testing to see if they would retreat from a battle after they lose a single member rather than 25% of their number as with other gangs.

* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'':
** In the backstory, this was essentially General Aleksandr Kerensky's reaction to the Succession Wars starting up: he took his massive fleet and army and flew out into uncharted space, and vanished. The descendants of that fleet reappear hundreds of years later as the Clans, one of the only threats large enough to make the Successor States (who are ''still'' [[ForeverWar fighting each other]]) team up to fight back.
** When Ice Hellion [=saKhan=] Connor Rood discovered that their supply lines have been intercepted by Clan Jade Falcon, he knows that his Clan is doomed by the combined wrath of the Falcons and Hell's Horses (which their Clan just ticked off). So he immediately set about saving as much of his Clan as he could and escaped the Inner Sphere. Meanwhile, his Khan continues to lead her forces in a hopeless war against the two Clans.



* In ''TabletopGame/{{Earthdawn}}'', the stone-age prequel to ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'', bards have a talent called "Graceful Exit". It even gives them a head start!
* The ''TabletopGame/{{Fate}}'' system, as used in ''TabletopGame/SpiritOfTheCentury'' or ''TabletopGame/TheDresdenFiles'', comes with explicit rules support and even some mechanical rewards for conceding a conflict before it gets too far out of hand, which helps encourage both players and {{Game Master}}s to remember that enacting this trope instead of [[AttackAttackAttack always fighting to the bitter end]] ''is'' in fact an option.

* The Creator/ShelSilverstein song "Put Another Log on the Fire" uses this as the punchline. The singer, a LazyBum hillbilly, treats his wife terribly: he makes her do all the chores, insults her ("Don't I tell you when you're gettin' fat?"), and is implied to be fooling around with her younger sister. Apparently his wife has had enough and is storming out, as the song repeatedly asks "Tell me why you're leaving me." It was memorably used on ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' in an episode with Creator/CandiceBergen playing the wife in pioneer clothes; the sketch ends with Bergen tearing off her dress to reveal a feminist T-shirt and shooting at the jerk before triumphantly marching out the door.

* In episode 16 of ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', the robots in Doctor H.'s internet router copy the abilities and appearances of the heroes' Car Knights and put up a fight. Smart S.'s one course of action when they do this is to say "According to me, there's only one way to fix this. And that's... getting out of here!" before flying away.
* In ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf: Joys of Seasons'' episode 21, Fragrant Wolf tells her husband she wants the moon, so he brings out a bucket of water with the moon's reflection in it. When Wolnie declares she wants Wolffy to go get her the moon, [[TheManInTheMoon the moon]] freaks out and dons a hat and suitcase, setting up a decoy pancake moon in its place before it runs away.

** In the episode "Time Slime", the team is trying to help a space station where time is overlapping on itself, meaning that there are actually three versions of the team performing different stages of the mission. BW #2 find the source of the problem, as well as the corpses of BW #1. They try to keep the same events from playing out again--and fail, winding on the ground right next to their "past" selves. Then BW #3 show up, see a pair of each of their bodies on the ground, and realize that it's probably better to let the people on the station figure this out for themselves.
** In "Memory Donk", the guy driving the rocket bus can't remember how to fly and bails out... [[TooDumbToLive into the vacuum of space]].

* The aptly-named ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FjWe31S_0g Fuck This Shit I'm Out]]'' is this trope in musical form. Perfect to send to your boss in lieu of a resignation letter if the job was terrible and/or he treated you badly.

* ''WebAnimation/LittleRunmo:'' About halfway through the [[AdvancingBossOfDoom Meatball Man run]], Runmo just turns around and bolts back to the exit ten times faster than his "game"-given actual max speed, just to get the hell out of there because the Meatball Man has him ''that'' freaked out.

Tukson trying to bail from the White Fang is this trope played straight, not subverted.


** A {{Subverted|Trope}} example occurs in "Best Day Ever" when Tukson attempts to get as far away from the White Fang as possible by escaping to Vacuo. Unfortunately for him, it doesn't work out as Cinder's henchmen corner and eventually [[KilledOffscreen kill him offscreen]].
