* ''This'' trope, more than anything, is why Jadeite's attempt on Nanoha's life failed in ''Fanfic/WhiteDevilOfTheMoon''. ''Everyone'' at the wedding who could fight came armed and prepared to do so, ''just in case''. Justified if you've seen ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3'' because you ''know'' [[SomeoneSetUpUsTheBomb what happened]] the last time the Takamachi family had a get-together.

Batman noticed that no one was going into a certain part of the room or even looking at that part of the room, so he started attacking it to make sure.

* In ''FanFic/ThisBites'', Mr. 3, when he catches up to Cross and Soundbite in Rainbase, had learned from his experience with Soundbite's powers, so he came prepared: breath control to keep him from hearing his breath, a wax vest to mask his heartbeat, and earplugs to guard against Soundbite's distractions. The Unluckies, Ohm, and the Foxy Pirates are among others who used forewarning to guard against Soundbite's powers.
** Cross manages to be this to a lesser extent due to knowing most of the plot up to Dressrosa, such as saving most of the gold they got from Skypiea to both repair/save Merry and purchase Keimi.

Evacuation Beta-funf requires us to get you all out of the school, and the seventh-year prefects are to go and lock down the potions labs and dorms so that the damage is minimalized.

Buffy wondered why he dressed like a lumberjack in winter when they ended up on a tropical island, which Xander explains as he never knows ''where'' on Earth he'll land so he dresses for freezing cold but includes cooler clothes. He even brings a BagOfHolding supplied by the Mayor.
