Is there a trope for the comedic scenario wherein Bob is about to ask Alice for something, but Alice, coincidentally, talks about how much she hates it when people ask her that.
For instance:
- Bob (short on cash): Alice, can you do me a favor?
- Alice: Sure, I miss spending time with you. Ever since I won all that money, a bunch of parasites showed up trying to borrow some. I want to kill them, greedy bastards.
- Bob: Right... what a bunch of jerks...
- Alice: So, what did you want?
- Bob: Nothing, just looking for my keys - oops, they're in my pocket, thanks, bye.
