History Main / BumpIntoConfrontation

* ''Anime/NinjaScrollTheSeries''. The wife of a samurai spends years tracking down Jubei after he killed her husband. As she's about to kill him she demands to know why her husband died, and is shocked to find it was over just such a petty argument.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' uses this as an example of [[NWordPrivileges Nigga Moments]]. Two black guys bump into each other and start a shootout. Nobody is injured and they realize how ignorant they were being and work out their differences... and then the cops come and kill them both.

* This is pretty much how Ragna and Naoto in ''Franchise/Blazblue'' Central Fiction met each other.

* This is pretty much how Ragna and Naoto in VideoGame/Blazblue Central Fiction met each other.

* This is pretty much how Ragna and Naoto in VideoGamw/Blazblue Central Fiction met each other.

* The titular "girl" in ''Film/TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo'' gets into a rather nasty fight with street hooligans in a subway after she bumps into them.

* Happens in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' episode "The Song of Jigglypuff". Jessie and James bump into two random people (a large, fat woman and a thug, respectively}. Because the entire town is unable to sleep, everyone is cranky and irritable, so Team Rocket [[ForegoneConclusion gets the crap beat out of them]]. (The fat woman actually '''spanks''' Jessie). To add salt to the wound, [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou the people beating on James and Jessie were the ones who bumped into them]]. Ash also bumps into someone, but avoids getting into a fight. Later in the episode (after Jigglypuff's forced everyone to sleep), the now less grumpy guy apologises.

* In Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Literature/TheCurseOfChalion'' such an event features in the backstory; a nobleman and notorious duelist (and very skilled swordsman) claims the "only son of a provincial wool merchant" jostled him the street and demands satisfaction, with [[CurbStompBattle predictable results]]. The young man's father later resorts to a form of magical assassination ("death magic") against the duelist in order to avenge his son's death, which turns out to have important ramifications for the main plot. Later, another high-born bravo attempts to stage such a confrontation against the novel's protagonist, Cazaril, with the clear intent of "accidentally" killing Cazaril in a simple duel "to first blood". Since Cazaril is both a pretty skilled swordsman himself ''and'' an experienced soldier with no patience for such games, this ends in the would-be duelist-assassin's painful (though not fatal) humiliation right then and there.

* In ''[[Videogame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword]]'': Lyn and company are travelling toward Caelin when Lyn notices her old friend [[ShrinkingViolet Florina]] being menaced by some bandits after accidentally landing her Pegasus on them, and come to her rescue.
