* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'': Jonie, being the strongest goat in the group of main characters besides Sparky but also much clumsier compared to him, tends to be very rough to people and objects - so much so, in fact, that in episode 23 of ''Joys of Seasons'' she has to wear gentle cuffs invented by Mr. Slowy to be able to help hurt animals without her accidentally hurting them even more.

* The young Tigress was shown to be like this in ''[[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five]]'', till she learned self-control.

* Sadly, lots of small children learn this the hard way with their first pet, especially if they mistakenly try to ride a dog or a cat like a horse, which can cause serious back injuries to the pet. And on the flipside, many pets don't always realize that their humans aren't as tough as they are, causing incidents when an excited large dog knocks a child over or an energetic horse gives a playful buck that dislodges his rider.

After you gain SuperStrength, one of the first things that happens is that you lack the dexterity and sensitivity to know when or how much of your super strength is being applied. Consequently, when trying to go about your daily grind, you accidentally break almost anything in your hands from pulling or squeezing too hard (that could include [[BrokenLeverOfDoom important levers]] or [[CrushingHandshake other people's hands]]). Jars and cups explode from the slightest squeeze, you burst through doors and windows, your shoulders chip at entrances/egresses and at worst, you cause severe damage to important facilities or even living beings. The toughest objects are brittle in your super-strong hands and you have to be extra delicate with how you hold or lift things. This is one of the most {{Omnipresent|Tropes}} [[RuleOfFunny gags]] in the medium of superpowers as one of the missing RequiredSecondaryPowers that has to be re-learned and remembered for daily functioning.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Mr. Incredible got very stressed out the day he was fired and broke a number of things. He dented a doorknob, shattered the car's window, and cut straight through the plate and part of the table when cutting his son's steak. The best was when he completely lost his temper and threw his ''boss'' through ''seven walls''. He's usually in control though, capable of doing little fiddly things with his hands even as he holds up something gigantic.

* Though nowhere near as extreme in fiction, can happen with some people devoid of any nervous disorders. Common with young men who are just realizing that they've suddenly gained a bunch of muscle mass.
