* ''[[Fanfic/TatteredRemainsOfBrokenDreams Tattered Remains of Broken Dreams (Yours, Not Mine)]]'': Marinette's classmates are so accustomed to their AllTakeAndNoGive relationship with her that they fully expect their "everyday Ladybug" to keep doing all kinds of extra work on their behalf even after they've EasilyCondemned her for [[MadeOutToBeAJerkass (supposedly)]] bullying Lila. This only changes after they tear up her sketchbook, as Marinette bluntly informs them that said book contained all of the projects she was working on for them... but not anymore.

* In ''Fanfic/TheBabysittingFiasco'', Alya and Nino have been making Marinette babysit their younger siblings for them while they sneak around behind their parents' backs going on extra dates. To twist the knife, neither one is bothering to pay her anything, even though their parents have been paying them extra for "being so responsible" and looking after their siblings so much. They've been bribing their siblings to keep the secret with [[FoodAsBribe extra dessert]], and would have kept the whole arrangement going indefinitely if not for Marlena finding out...

* ''Fanfic/MiraculousLadybugSaltShots'' has this come up several times:
** In ''Nothing Comes For Free'', Marinette reveals to her mother that [[MisplacedKindergartenTeacher Miss Bustier]] has been foisting several of her ''own'' responsibilities as a teacher onto her, such as expecting Marinette to make all of the arrangements for a field trip ''by herself''. What's worse, she has encouraged the whole class to exploit Marinette in the same fashion, to the point where all of the girls expect her to make their prom dresses for them for free. [[MamaBear Sabine]] is rightly ''furious'' and sues the school district, ultimately getting Bustier fired.
** ''My Compensation'' revolves around Alya pawning off her babysitting duties on Marinette, making her look after [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Ella and Etta]] while pocketing the money her parents are paying her. She also helped herself to "free pastries" from the Dupain-Cheng bakery; by the time her parents learn about this, she's already racked up over seven hundred Euros' worth of debt.
** ''"Being A Good Example Isn't So Easy, Is It?"'' focuses on Miss Bustier once more, zeroing in on how ''she specifically'' exploited Marinette. Once Marinette transfers to another class, Chloé outright refuses to do '''anything''' as the new class representative, telling Bustier point-blank that if she tries exploiting her in the same way, she'll [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections call in her father and have her fired]]. Bustier subsequently realizes just how much she relied upon Marinette to keep her peers in line, and winds up [[AintTooProudToBeg desperately begging]] her former "star student" to come back, much to Marinette's disgust.
** ''Spots of Change'' combines this with HoldingOutForAHero. On top of having her {{False Friend}}s exploiting her kindness and treating her like their personal servant, Ladybug had to deal with Chat Noir refusing to take their heroic responsibilities seriously, relying on her to carry them to victory while he goofed off, cracked jokes and [[EntitledToHaveYou constantly harassed her]]. This ultimately drove Marinette to [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt give up being Ladybug]], and [[ContrastingReplacementCharacter Anatis]] bluntly informs Alya that one of the reasons why her predecessor quit was due to how others kept taking advantage of her.

* ''Fanfic/ForHisOwnSake'':
** After Keitaro leaves the Hinata Inn to escape the toxic and abusive environment, he calls out Naru and the rest of the girls as a group of self absorbed brats who stepped all over him, beat the shit out of him, stole his money, and then expected him to just keep forgiving them without complaint. It's made clear that while the girls are at fault for their horrid behavior, Keitaro is also at fault for having enabled them and not setting his foot down sooner which he acknowledges. [[spoiler:Shinobu, Mitsune, and Motoko all come to realize they did take advantage of Keitaro's efforts and work towards atoning for their behavior. Su, Mutsumi, and Naru don't learn their lesson until they've managed to destroy their lives.]]
** Beyond Keitaro, they've also taken advantage of Granny Hina's hospitality to run away from their various problems and personality issues. [[spoiler:Naru ends up being the most selfish out of the entire cast, as she keeps taking so much of Granny's support that the older woman ends up sacrificing all her other relationships with her relatives and friends just to make Naru happy. By the story's end, Granny's cut Naru off for good and is left with nothing to show for it.]]

* ''Film/TheMask'': Stanley Ipkiss is treated as a doormat by everyone, from his coworkers to his mechanics. Near the openings, he buys tickets for a show to invite a work colleague. The young woman lies that her best friend is in town, knowing that Stanley would generously give her the tickets and she would enjoy the show with someone she actually liked.

* Doug Forcett from ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' is an ExtremeDoormat who will do anything to make others happy to the detriment of his own well-being, and quite a number of people have taken advantage of this. The reason why Doug lets people (even children) push him around is that he's a HeavenSeeker who's determined to do whatever it takes to reach the eponymous heavenly afterlife no matter how painful and miserable it is for him.

** The episode "Kill Gil, Vols.

I and II" has hardcore StrawLoser Gil Gunderson staying in the Simpsons' home and mooching off them to the point of rage for almost a whole year after one act of kindness to Lisa got him fired from his work on Christmas Eve and Marge offered him to stay the night with them. Part of the problem is that Gil is both destitute and so pathetic that Marge can't bring herself to throw him out, until she finally builds up the will to do so a year later, only to find that Gil has moved out on his own. Feeling that she needs to assert herself or risk becoming an ExtremeDoormat forever, Marge tracks Gil down and calls him out... which gets him fired ''again'', and this time the Simpsons are forced to buy an entire ''house'' to make it up to him (Gil's new job was in real estate).

Compare MovingTheGoalposts, ThePrimaDonna, ChoosyBeggar, NeverLendToAFriend, and AllTakeAndNoGive (a variation of this with relationships). TheFarmerAndTheViper is a more extreme and outright villainous variant. If the person being taken advantage of is in a caregiving position, this may lead to CaregiverAngst from being obligated to do so much at their own expense. Overlaps with PlayingTheFamilyCard if the one doing this uses family ties to guilt-trip someone into being exploited.
