Bob is worried that the vultures surrounding him will try to eat him, but they actually pick him up and rescue him instead...instead...
** As the vultures circle above him Bob notices that they are more interested in each other than him (assuming they even know of his presence), seems it was just a case of him coincidentally walking underneath their mating dance.

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Vultures and other scavengers watching a character symbolize the fact that they are likely to be doomed.
* '''Straight''': After Bob is stranded for a while, vultures start surrounding him awaiting his death.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob is surrounded by a multitude of scavengers, even ones that [[MisplacedWildlife aren't usually found in the setting he's in.]]
* '''Downplayed''': Bob is in danger, and a single vulture starts following him.
* '''Justified''': The vultures are desperate for food and are looking for an easy source.
* '''Inverted''': The vultures actually help someone instead of waiting for them to die.
* '''Subverted''': Bob is worried that the vultures surrounding him will try to eat him, but they actually pick him up and rescue him instead...
* '''Double Subverted''': ...although it turns out that the vultures just wanted to drop him from a high height in order to kill him easily.
* '''Parodied''':
** People have been waiting for Bob to die for a while, and as a result he's always surrounded by a group of scavengers.
** Vultures somehow come out of nowhere whenever someone is in danger.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Scavengers are not a sign that anyone is in danger.
* '''Enforced''': "How can we tell that Bob is in danger out here in the desert?" "I know, add a few vultures that are waiting for him to die!"
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
