** To be fair, their most competent military commander(and probably other vassals houses) had turned against them.

* Viserys Targaryen does this. If your sister — who is effectively the BarbarianTribe's queen — is the only person who can ensure you will be tolerated, assaulting her is definitely a pretty dumb thing to do. The irony is that when he TurnsRed, he describes it as "waking the dragon." He later tries to force his will on Khal Drogo himself, who is much nearly half a foot taller, stronger, and vastly more skilled at fighting than the amateur Viserys, by threatening the ''khal's'' wife and unborn child. It goes even ''worse'' than what you might expect. Even without his bloodriders, it's hard to imagine that Drogo wouldn't have been capable of easily snapping his brother-in-law in half like a twig. To be fair, Viserys didn't consider potential LoopholeAbuse in the Dothraki's prohibition against "spilling blood" in their sacred city, and [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy was drunk off his ass at the time]].

* In the backstory, this happened to the Aerys II:

** He gets extra credit for insulting and demeaning Tywin Lannister, calling him a "servant" and saying that Tywin hadn't earned the honor of his daughter marrying the crown prince. Tywin Lannister, the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms, who has been known to wage wars of total extermination against his own vassals over ''smaller'' insults.

%%Needs more context to differentiate from MuggingTheMonster.* Lommy and Hot Pie's attempt to bully [[LittleMissBadass Arya]] in "Fire and Blood" does not go as they had hoped.

* This is pretty much what happens after Cersei pushes Dany too far in Season 8. [[spoiler: After Euron shoots down Rhaegal and Cersei orders the Mountain to murder Missandei in full view of Daenerys and Grey Worm, Dany snaps ''spectacularly'' and her attack involves her going full Mad Queen on the city, incinerating the Iron Fleet, Lannister and Golden Company soldiers and innocent civilians alike in the streets with Drogon, while the Unsullied, Dothraki and Northern forces go on an unstoppable rampage of their own. Cersei can only watch in utter, helpless horror as she sees what "Waking the Dragon" truly means (and right before she and Jamie meet their own demise soon after).]]

* When Sandor Clegane shows no interest in joining with [[spoiler: Polliver's merry little band of [[RapePillageAndBurn marauders]]]], he gets mocked about his desertion during the Battle of the Blackwater. No points for guessing what happens soon afterwards, although to be fair one of Polliver's men [[TheWorfEffect does actually manage to get the Hound on the ground]] for a while until the Hound turns the tables with the help of Arya.
* [[spoiler: Rorge and Biter]] think they can take on the Hound (a notorious fighter) in a woefully inept sneak-attack. People seem to have a habit of underestimating Sandor Clegane...

* When a Night's Watch traitor goes against loyalists of Jon Snow (one including a freaking GIANT), the Giant casually lifts him and smears him in the walls of Castle Black.

* Viserys does this. If your sister — who is effectively the BarbarianTribe's queen — is the only person who can ensure you will be tolerated, assaulting her is definitely a pretty dumb thing to do. The irony is that when he TurnsRed, he describes it as "waking the dragon."

* Lommy and Hot Pie's attempt to bully [[LittleMissBadass Arya]] in "Fire and Blood" does not go as they had hoped.

** He executed Ned Stark's father and brother, pissing off half his kingdom and leading to the rebellion that would kill him and end his family's dynasty.

* Oberyn Martell's [[spoiler: [[CruelAndUnusualDeath gruesome demise]] at the hands of Ser Gregor Clegane]] definitely also counts as this. [[spoiler: After wounding Gregor Clegane, Oberyn taunts him while yelling at him to confess Elia Martell's murder, [[DidntThinkThisThrough Oberyn commits the terrible mistake of underestimating the Mountain]], ''as he's still alive and fully conscious'', and what follows is him knocking Oberyn to the ground, punching all of his teeth out of his mouth, and while admitting the murder, [[EyeScream he slowly and brutally gouges Oberyn's eyes out]], causing him to scream in extreme agony and eventually, the Mountain continues applying increasingly extreme pressure to Oberyn's head until it ''pops'', crushing it into a bloody mess while Ellaria screams in absolute horror.]]
