** In Act II chapter 29, when Moka and Kokoa explain the Eia Dreahl, they explain that, as per their agreement, the first girl to give Tsukune a nosebleed wins the right to be his mate, and the loser will have to forfeit their right to him forever under penalty of death. However, as Dark points out to them, Kokoa said the first ''girl'' to give him a nosebleed wins, which means that ''any'' girl who gives Tsukune a nosebleed can claim him for her own; cue OhCrap when Moka and Kokoa realize this, as well as the fact that Yukari has already picked up on it and seizing the opportunity.
** In Act II chapter 30, Inner Moka uses the exact wording of the Eia Dreahl to her advantage, realizing that the pact ''only'' said to give Tsukune a {{nosebleed}}; it didn't say ''[[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale how]]''.
** In Act III chapter 9, according to the elder in Heaven, the Holy Lock can withstand almost anything on Earth. Key word, ''almost'': even it can't take the strain of Tsukune's full monster energy without cracking.
** In Act III chapter 44, the gang accuses the headmaster of lying when he said that Fairy Tale was destroyed. However, Mikogami points out that he only said that the dark lords had informed him that Fairy Tale had disappeared and that they wanted the school reopened; he never explicitly said that the organization was destroyed.

However, as she points out, she never said she wouldn't use her [[DishingOutDirt earth powers]] to bury Ran alive if she inflicts MarshmallowHell on Ahakon again.

The crowd and his sleazy manager starts mocking him, but Ricky gets the last laugh by pointing out that they never said anything about throwing a punch ''outside'' of the ring, and beats the crap out of his manager.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fic ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/36981/120-Days-of-Blueblood 120 Days of Blueblood]]'', Prince Blueblood does this twice. In the first chapter, [[spoiler: he arranges for Rarity and Sweetie Belle's father to be framed and arrested, and Prince Blueblood promises Rarity and Sweetie Belle that if they service him to his satisfaction, Blueblood will reunite them with their father. Rarity and Sweetie Belle assume that this means he'll let their father go, but actually, their father was executed a while ago. Blueblood reunites Sweetie Belle and Rarity with their father as he said he would, ''by executing them as well'' so they can be reunited in death]]. In the third chapter, [[spoiler: Blueblood has Pinkie Pie arrested on a false charge of being a witch. Pinkie Pie manages to persuade Blueblood to let her go home unharmed if she does everything Blueblood wants. After Pinkie Pie provides him the services he asks for, Blueblood has his guards make sure Pinkie Pie arrives back in her gypsy wagon safe and sound, exactly as he promised he would. Then he has the guards seal the wagon's doors and windows shut and has the wagon thrown in the ocean so Pinkie Pie drowns. After all, Blueblood never made any promises about Pinkie Pie being unharmed ''after'' being escorted home]].
* In the Series/LostGirl fic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7637086/1/The-Human-Doctor The Human Doctor]]'', the terms of Lauren's servitude with the Light are: full servitude and no contact with the outside world, in exchange for offering her the full resources of the Fae to cure Nadia of her illness, with the stipulation that she never be used to harm to kill anyone. The exact wording is used against her twice. When a Fae clan is suffering from a STD, Lauren is forbidden to treat them, as the Ash is punishing them. He justifies it by pointing out ''she'' isn't harming them, the disease is. This does not alleviate her guilt, but she has no choice. Later Lachlan reveals that the Ash knew all along that Nadia wasn't sick, but cursed and knew how to end it, and was merely exploiting her. If Lauren directly asked him about it, he would have to answer truthfully. But since she didn't ask, he didn't tell. Note that this is actually ''better'' than the canon version, [[spoiler: where he actually ordered the curse in the first place.]]
** Lauren later panics when she learns that Kenzi made a deal with The Morrigan, musing that she read the fine print and the Ash still screwed her; and Kenzi's deal is far too broad for them to have any chance. She then says that if Kenzi makes any other deals with the Fae, to please have her, Trick, or Dyson go over it and look out for exact wording.
* ''FanFic/InnerDemons'': When Applejack is captured by [[BigBad Queen!]][[FaceHeelTurn Twilight's]] forces while trying to rescue Rarity, she promises to not try to escape. As she and Rarity are breaking out, she explains that she has no intention of ''trying'' to escape; they are ''going'' to escape.
** This also pops up during the FinalBattle — Queen!Twilight said that she would wait for the heroes in Tartarus to fight them one final time. However, as [[spoiler: [[HeelFaceTurn Scootaloo]]]] points out, she didn't say that ''her army'' would wait, and indeed her EliteMooks start marching on Ponyville while she's fighting the Element bearers. Fortunately, [[TheCavalry the Royal Guard]] shows up to [[YouShallNotPass keep them busy]].
* This, so Kyubey claimed, was what doomed Joan of Arc in the ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' fanfic ''FanFic/AHistoryOfMagic''. She had wished that France would hear God through her and free herself. And it was true, she would become an inspiration and spur France to free itself from English rule. She just had to die to do it. [[spoiler: That knowledge was enough to turn her into the witch Elektra.]]
* ''FanFic/ABriefHistoryOfEquestria'': King Aurum uses this to insure that Princess Platinum takes the throne without having to marry (and give power to) any of the [[DeadlyDecadentCourt corrupt nobles]]. As he points out, Unicorn law says that Queens can't rule, but not that a mare can't be King.
* ''FanFic/TheNuptialverse'': Chrysalis sold out the Founders of Equestria to Discord when he [[DealWithTheDevil offered]] to give her the power of all three pony races, which she took to mean he'd turn her into an Alicorn. Instead, he [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves turned her into a changeling]] -- apparently, he found the idea of just turning her into an Alicorn [[ForTheEvulz too boring]].
* ''FanFic/ThePowersOfHarmony'': Technically speaking, everything the Guards tell the Mane Six about their pasts are true. They just leave out that [[spoiler: it all happened a thousand years ago]].
* ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'': [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] winds up summoned to Equestria. According to Twilight, she was trying to summon the best defense attorney in Equestria, [[MagicMisfire but she accidentally forgot that last part]], thus summoning the best defense attorney ''period''. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope This turns out to be a lie]], as she summoned him directly following Princess Celestia's advice]].
* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''Fanfic/IWontSay'': "No morning sex... *''({{Beat}})''* or afternoon sex, or evening sex or..."
* In ''Fanfic/APonyOutOfPlace'', Arceus agrees to let "the Ponyta" Flare Blitz stay in Equestria if he wins the Solar Run. Flare evolves into Rapidash mid-race, thus invalidating the agreement.
* In ''[[FanFic/JusticeLeagueofEquestria Princess of Themyscira]]''. Hippolyta brings this up when Soarin' asks if Diana cheated by [[CuttingTheKnot cutting a knot]] with a sword during an Intelligence Test; Hippolyta said to ''undo'' the knot, not ''untie'' it.
* In ''Fanfic/ThePezDispenserAndTheReignOfTerror'', Calvin upgrades the titular PEZ dispenser to run on his brainwaves - and his brainwaves ''alone.'' Of course, this is a non-issue for a ''duplicate'' of Calvin...
* In ''FanFic/DiariesOfAMadman'', both Navarone and Discord love this trope. The former practically makes it an art form, given how often he does it.

** In the fanfic ''FanFic/OhGodNotAgain'', there's this:
-->'''Harry:''' Wait... Didn't Draco order you not to try to save my life or to try and drive me from the castle?\\
'''Dobby:''' Dobby wasn't trying to save the Great Harry Potter's life nor was he trying to send him away from Hogwarts. Dobby was trying to break Harry Potter's arm.
** In the ''FanFic/FatesGambit'', Child Services went to the Dursley household to ask questions about their treatment of Harry Potter. Dudley told it all and, when asked if his Dad ever asked him not to tell anything, he told his Dad told him never to mention anything if it ''outside'' the house. Fortunately, Dudley didn't understand it'd be equally bad for his parents to have it mentioned to the authorities ''inside'' the house too.
** Draco Malfoy gets screwed out of a couple of {{Sex Slave}}s this way in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5639518/30/The-Harem-War The Harem War]]. The Death Eaters forced the Greengrass family to make an Unbreakable Vow that their two oldest daughters would be sold as slaves to the next Lord Black, assumed to be Draco. Unfortunately, thanks to Sirius' machinations, ''Harry'' turns out to be Lord Black instead, and thus, he gets the daughters instead.
* From ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', episode 51:
-->'''Kaiba:''' I'm shutting down your research lab, Nesbitt.\\
'''Nesbitt:''' Mister Kaiba, I beg you to reconsider!\\
'''Kaiba:''' Kay.\\
''(shot of lab being blown to smithereens)''\\
'''Nesbitt:''' But you said you'd reconsider!\\
'''Kaiba:''' I did. I ''was'' going to have the building renovated after I shut it down.\\
'''Nesbitt:''' Then why did you--\\
'''Kaiba:''' ''I reconsidered.''
** And this gem in Episode 55…
-->'''Kaiba''': Oh hey, that reminds me of a joke. Why did the obnoxious green-haired punk cross the road?\\
'''Noah''': What?\\
'''Kaiba''': To show that he had guts. And man, did he have guts.\\
'''Noah''': That's not funny.\\
'''Kaiba''': I guess you had to be there.\\
'''Noah''' I WAS.\\
'''Kaiba''': And that's why it's so funny.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' fanfic "Coming Back", Jake Long fathered a newborn named Benjamin. When Rose asked Lao Shi if Ben will become a dragon, Lao Shi said he didn't know and that they would know "when he is older". Soon after that, Ben let a "small burp" show that he has fire-breathing. Lao Shi replied that "He is a few minutes older from when I made the statement."
* In the ''Series/{{Glee}}'' fic ''FanFic/HuntingTheUnicorn,'' a statement that Blaine made ("I've never been anyone's boyfriend") is played with in the most depressing manner possible: He really hasn't had a boyfriend before Kurt -- [[spoiler: [[TearJerker he just thought he did]].]] And it was a ''disaster.''
* In FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire, Ewen only promised to let [[spoiler:Clan Gully]] leave the ''building'' alive.
* In ''Series/TheOuterLimits'' fic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5979786/1/Farewell_Match Farewell Match]]'', boxer Ricky Redman faces a powerful alien in a match where "the loser dies". [[spoiler:Despite his best efforts, Ricky loses, only to be informed that, "You will die the death of obscurity, human. While your physical existence will continue, your name will be forgotten, and your former fame will fade into nothingness. You will never again throw a punch inside a ring! That, human, is your fate!" The crowd and his sleazy manager starts mocking him, but Ricky gets the last laugh by pointing out that they never said anything about throwing a punch ''outside'' of the ring, and beats the crap out of his manager.]]
