And it has a line of dialogue title, too.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
deep in though- ow!
I count six examples on the page, and another six just got commented out until they get more flesh on the bones.
It looks like it needs to get added to the dialogue index, have the commented out examples explained (the webcomic links should be easy for anyone to do), and the explanation could probably use some expansion.
Speaking of the dialogue index, there's quite a few tropes that have dialogue as their titles, so it doesn't appear there's anything inherently wrong with that. Focusing on one emotion may be to the tropes detriment, though.
I rarely visit the forums to avoid the cynicism ooze.
Well, there is actually something wrong with line of dialogue titles, hence we have No New Stock Phrases.
This trope can use some crosswicking, I think.

There's nothing wrong with line of dialogue titles.
Yes, there is. They are against the rules of the wiki, and for good reason. They tend to attract misuse for anyone who says the phrase rather than actual examples of the trope.

Why do you think have we No New Stock Phrases?

I think it's a trope, Seen It A Million Times. But the title needs to change.
I thought of a name for this trope: Self Fulfilling Accusation, but that might not be specific enough.
From the title, I was almost positive it was a "I'm not angry, just disappointed"-type speech from a parent.
That's... not a good sign.

How sweet it is
Just looked at the trope. I'm calling cut, for three reasons:
1) There's hardly any examples, and the wick count is rather small.
2) It's basically "x says y". Pretty weak, to be honest.
3) And with those expecting what's stated ![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
, the name does not work.
I'm afraid there's no way to salvage this.

Psshhh...
I concur, doesn't look like there's much that can be done about this article.
I say cut, as well.
I vote to cut as well. 9 could support a trope, but it's wider than this one.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
We can try YKTTW'ing @9, while cutting the current page.
I'm in favour of cutting.

Yeah, to put it bluntly, five examples on the page and fifteen links to it does not a healthy trope make, especially for a trope that's been around since 2010 at least (going by the talk page). I'm not sure what to do to help get this trope the boost it needs, but it definitely needs something to get it healthy
