* ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle''. When the hunters Max and Thor capture Ape and make their way down Ape Mountain, they take a trail that's labeled as a shortcut, which is actually a decoy trail that loops around the mountain before leading back to where they started from. Max ''starts'' to catch on, to which Ape replies by telling them the whole truth, frustrating Thor but dissuading Max into thinking he's tricking them into taking the normal route. They continue taking the "shortcut" and end up back at the treehouse, much to Max's dismay.

* Ever wonder why airlines advertise "priority" boarding as a perk for passengers who spend more on a flight, even though it just means that you sit on a cramped plane seat for longer? It's because those passengers have a larger baggage allowance and will take longer to get it stowed, so the airline wants them to board first.
