Also often connected with a BadBoss or TroubledAbuser, whose first instinct towards a bad mood is usually to lash it out on someone below them. Almost always linked to either DisproportionateRetribution or MisplacedRetribution (or both).

* Some ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse stories explain Magica's varying level of vileness with her mercurial temper, associating her bad moods with the viler moments. On the flip side, when she's in a very good mood she's surprisingly nice.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', we have [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "D.W's Very Bad Mood"]], all because she wasn't invited to one of her classmate's birthday party.

-->I should tell you that I'm in an EXTREMELY foul mood. Thanks to you, all our plans are ruined!

* The ''Literature/WinnieThePooh'' book ''Just Be Nice... and Say You're Sorry!'' has Rabbit getting into a bad mood because of a rough morning and snapping at his friends in anger. Later, when he calms down and tries to deliver vegetables to him, they all reject his offerings. Only then does he realize just how nasty he'd been, and apologizes to them.

* Happens tragically in ''Film/TheToothFairy'', when Derek just had a terrible time at a failed hockey match while balancing his tooth fairy duty. And when he gets back home, he finds his girlfriend Carly waiting with her children, much to his annoyance. Her son, Randy, is asking Derek to help him practice with his guitar for the talent show. The depressed Derek snaps at him by describing to him how he will be a failure as a rockstar. This drives Randy to tears, and he breaks the guitar that he's holding in a fit of anguish, which shocks Carly. She lambasts Derek for his behavior, to which he defends himself by saying that he had a bad day. She does not find that excuse a good one at all, and dumps him.

** Ryder's first conversations with [[GrumpyBear Foster Addison]] has her snap at them, only to immediately apologize and explain she's just tired from the sheer wealth of problems she's had to deal with. Not that she gets much lighter and sunnier. Foster ''really'' didn't want her current job.

--> '''Calvin''': Boy, I'm in a bad mood today! Everyone had better steer clear of me! I hate ''everybody!'' As far as I'm concerned, everyone on the planet can just drop dead. People are scum. ''({{Beat}})'' '''WELL-L-L-L? Doesn't anyone want to cheer me up?'''
