8->'''Yamamoto:''' If your Research and Development Department had reported and managed it more promptly, this situation may have been avoidable.\
9'''Mayuri:''' That is not true. I foresaw and suggested this situation the moment Uryuu Ishida, the Quincy, infiltrated the Soul Society as a Ryouka. It was you who disregarded that as being absurd. Isn't the principal cause of this situation you, Captain-General?

12->[''during Ascot's MotiveRant about everyone accusing him and his monsters of being a nuisance'']\
13'''Umi''': Well, let me ask you something. Do your friends cause that much trouble for ''everyone''?\

32'''Kyouko''': Enough, young lady! [[NeverSayThatAgain I don't want to hear about him in this house again!]] And you're wrong; it wasn't my choice, it was your father's. ''He'' suggested that crook marry into this family. He's [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter never been a good judge of character]].

61'''Spider Man''': H-how in a million years did you convince yourself that all that was ''my'' fault?\
62'''Eddie Brock''': It was easy! I just wanted to be the guy that broke the case! It wasn't my fault my source was lying! If you'd stayed out of it, everything would have been fine!\
63'''Spider Man''': That does sound easy... Easi... ''er''.\
64'''Eddie Brock''': What?!\
65'''Spider Man''': Well, it's a lot harder to just admit you're a screwup.\
66'''Eddie Brock''': Y-you should thank me for this... You should thank me that you won't live to see your life destroyed... Destroyed by someone else... Because of ''one little mistake!''

76'''Calvin''': You ''willed'' me to break it! You did some subliminal thing! Don't deny it! I know you did! You ''must'' have!\

78-->--''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''

87-->--''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''
88
89->'''Calvin:''' Boy, dad sure blew his stack ''that'' time, didn't he? What a sorehead! Listening to ''him'', you'd think nobody in the world had ever needed to call a plumber before. Dad's got a job. He can afford it. Dad makes such a big deal out of everything.\

108'''Hobbes:''' [[SarcasmMode A paragon of virtue, that's you.]]\
109'''Calvin:''' [[SarcasmBlind Right!]] But see, there are certain things a ''good'' kid could do that might look ''bad'' in a certain light, if one didn't consider all the mitigating circumstances.\
110'''Hobbes:''' [[NoodleIncident Like keeping an incontinent toad in your mom's sweater drawer?]]\
111'''Calvin:''' Exactly. If I was being raised in a better environment, I wouldn't do things like that.

118->"[[ComicBook/LexLuthor Lex]] got to thinking that maybe he was a lamebrain for leaving that door open and not looking after Lena any better than he had. But when he thought harder, he said, he thought ComicBook/{{Superboy}} was a lamebrain himself for giving him that alien thing, even after he'd asked him to. He thought Superboy should have had better sense than that. What can I say?"\
119Starfire thought she might say that her cousin was a guilt-transferring jerk, but she kept her peace.

122->'''The Wolf:''' Not a day ago you were Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, feared throughout most of the continent, and the only hope against the invaders from the east. Now you have less power than a kitchen thrall, surrounded by strangers to whom you are only marginally more useful alive than dead. Whose fault is that? Who started all this?\
123'''Cersei Lannister:''' What? That Targaryen whore! If she even ever was a Targaryen and not a bastard fathered by a stable boy!\
124'''The Wolf:''' And before that? Why did she come to oust you in the first place?\
125'''Cersei:''' Because of Tyrion! ''He'' convinced her to return, sold out his own people, his own blood, just to curry favor with the bitch! That vicious little demon, he should have been strangled at birth! Everything is his fault, everything!\
126[...]\
127'''The Wolf:''' I understand your father was a cruel tyrant whose death was cause for celebration.\
128'''Cersei:''' Is ''that'' what he says? Of course it's what he says, you being such good friends. He murdered our father just like he murdered our mother, just to get at me, just so that our House would be broken and ruined. He hates us because he can never be a true man, as if I was responsible for his deformities! He hated my son and plotted his death, he escaped his trial to join that silver-haired whore, he started a war we would have won if he hadn't been pouring his words into her ears, revealing our every weakness to her! Our family's downfall is entirely due to ''him'', the lying, conniving, whoring little shitstain!

131->'''Wind Rider''': H-hey, it's nothing to get bent out of shape over. Just a minor setback, that's all. Spitfire made a mistake.\
132'''Haymaker''': A "mistake?" Is that what you're calling it, Wind Rider? You [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E16RarityInvestigates forged a letter saying that Stormy Flare was sick, sending Spitfire on a wild goose chase. Then you had the gall to pin your crime on an aspiring young private in the Reserves. All because you couldn't let that young private beat your record.]] After all that, you think Spitfire stripped you of your Wonderbolt status by mistake?!
133-->--''Fanfic/TheTruthHurts'', [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/297131/the-truth-hurts here]]
134
135->'''Ironbeak''': ...L-Look, all these farmers and laborers are ''undoubtedly'' intelligent, thoughtful people. But they ''just can't see the bigger picture!'' Imagine how much easier it will be for them to provide for their families if we were to, say, open a Tschermamart around here! We could sell food at 50%- nay, ''75%'' cheaper than what local merchants are offering!"\
136'''Civilian''': Yeah, and drive us all out of business before cranking up your prices! We ain't stupid, old man! We've seen how you people operate 'round Nova Veluti!\
137'''Ironbeak''': We at Tschermacorp are ''not'' responsible for the prices set by individual managers!\
138'''Mayor Tuco''': Ah yes, how could we forget? Tschermacorp's crimes are ''never'' your fault. The Tschermapark on Wysteria 3 where all those kids got hurt on your dangerous rides? Not your fault! That gas mining operation that poisoned Rudesh's Amber Sea? Also not your fault! The extinction of Grandia Prime's Helius Rex population? That was months after you people opened up your Tscherma-Safari agency, but I guess that wasn't your fault either.

Just because a girl knows how to imitate a woman does not mean she's ready to do what a woman does. I mean, you're the grown-up here. If a kid is experimenting and says something flirtatious, you ignore it, you don't encourage it!

289->As I have said, everyone in prison is an innocent man. Oh, they read the scripture the way those holy rollers on TV read the Book of Revelations. [[PlayingTheVictimCard They were the victims of judges with hearts of stone and balls to match, or incompetent lawyers, or police frame-ups, or bad luck]]. They read the scripture, but you can read a different scripture in their faces. Most cons are a low sort, no good to themselves or anyone else, and their worst luck was that their mothers carried them to term.

291
292->Thanquol paced. The plan was not going well. Surely, thought Thanquol, he was the most potent of mage-rats, the most exalted of the Council's agents. Why, then, did the Lords of Decay keep sending him inferiors to work with? Warlord Skrich of Clan Krik had jeopardised the task of destroying Citadelle La Bouef. True, Thanquol had promised the drawbridges would be down, but that had been the fault of those worthless Gutter Runners. Yes, the poison Thanquol had bought for them turned out to be so watered down as to be safely drinkable, but he had saved many warptokens. Thanquol gnawed his pale, rubbery tail, recalling how the Duke had counter-attacked, sending the Clanrats fleeing. The fool Assassin should have already slain that manling! Of course, Thanquol had reassigned the Assassin to kill several upstart Skaven in his own ranks, a mission from which the Clan Eshin agent had never returned. Such failures could only be devious sabotage! But who, thought Thanquol, would dare match wits with so mighty a personage as himself? The hidden foe must be dangerous indeed.

663->By far the most derogatory stories are about people who are ignorant and ''belligerent'' about their ignorance. There are a lot of stories about people who are not simply clueless but insist that they are not. When things go wrong that are their own faults, they call up tech support personnel and yell at them and threaten to sue and insist that everybody in the world is at fault but themselves. I have no respect for such people. They aren't on the road to learning; they're actively refusing to tread upon it. Worse, they are insulting and disrespectful to others in the process. Any derogatory slant in these stories, I am utterly unapologetic about.
