A character that usually causes a lot of trouble, on purpose or accidentally, to themselves or others, will always get the attention of Emergency Services (i.e., police, firefighters, paramedics, etc.). When they arrive to the scene and they see who caused it or if they get a call from the character, they might respond with a deadpan "What did you do this time?". That's because the character has a reputation of causing trouble too many times to the point that the emergency workers know who they are and are very familiar with their actions. They will usually have a Unusually Uninteresting Sight or Oh, No... Not Again! reaction or have a Casual Danger Dialogue when they see the character again. They might casually greet each other by saying their names as if they're friends or if they're already friends, usually with a First-Name Basis. It's likely they might already know each other from a previous Noodle Incident they caused. This could also happen in the case of an individual who's a hypochondriac. They might also have an Instant Emergency Response if it constantly happens in the same area. They don't necessarily have to be emergency workers; they can also be doctors, nurses, security guards, judges, lawyers, or any profession where they are required to rescue, help, and/or punish people when they are in trouble or causing trouble. This is very much Truth in Television, as members of emergency services will remember you really fast if you are in contact with them regularly, like as a petty criminal, dialysis patient, etc. This can also be used as a comedy gag, where a character will reveal how often they get visited by them or how often they contact them. This may apply to a character who is a Bungling Inventor, The Chew Toy, Delinquents, The Jinx, The Klutz, Lethally Stupid, Too Dumb to Live, or a Walking Disaster Area. |

In Genshin Impact, there are two characters that contend for the title, Hu Tao and Arataki Itto — the former had gotten into trouble with the Millelith countless times due to her antics relating to her advertising of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and the latter became well known within the Tenryou Commission due to his boisterous behavior, and antics. Of the two, Itto surpasses her in the department as he had landed himself on prison, and proudly proclaims that it's is hundredth time that he served jailtime. | |

In Terminator 2, when the T-1000, disguised as a cop, needs to find John Connor, he enters his name in the police cruiser's computer, which displays a long list of infractions and misdemeanors. When the T-1000 arrives at the foster home, his foster parents nonchalantly ask "what did he do now?" | |

A Certain Magical Index: Touma is very well acquainted with the hospital staff in Academy City, given he usually ends up there after fights with espers or magicians. In particular, the "Frog-Faced Doctor" gets to know him pretty well. On at least one occasion Touma showed up at the hospital despite not being badly hurt in the incident just to say hi to the staff and brag that he didn't get hurt this time. | |

Honor Harrington: Alluded in "Ms. Midshipwoman Harrington", when some of the ship's officers learn that Honor has had regular full-contact training bouts with one of the ship's Marine sergeants, their first reaction is to ask how well she's gotten to know the ship's medical officer. In Honor Among Enemies, it's implied that Aubrey Wanderman's training in hand to hand combat with SMAJ Hallowell (the senior enlisted marine aboard the Wayfarer) and Horace Harkness has made Wanderman quite familiar with the ship's doctor, to the point where a later conversation involving Honor includes Wanderman saying in unison with Hallowell, at the end of the conversation, "this ship has a fine doctor!" |

In The Simpsons, the Simpson family, mainly Homer and Bart, are prone to this. In Season 5, "Homer Goes to College", after Homer causes a meltdown in class when the professor asks him to demonstrate how a proton accelerator works. The clean-up crew arrives to stop the problem: In Season 12 "Worst Episode Ever", Bart makes a bet with Homer to eat a spoonful of rotten baking soda which he agrees to: In Season 13, "The Parent Rap", the Simpsons go to court when Bart and Milhouse get in trouble for stealing Chief Wiggum's squad car. Judge Roy Snyder is shown to know Bart already pretty well when he is brought to court. Bart knows him pretty well too since he knows that he will let him off the hook, since "boys will be boys". |

Wanda mentions how they were there just last week after Darryl stepped on Zoe's hand and says that if this continues, the staff will know them by name. Darryl dismisses this, but the next panel (focusing on the staff) shows she was right. | |

In Married... with Children, Al pretty much starts knowing the cops on a first-name basis due to getting arrested multiple times over the series (or someone in the family getting arrested, like when Peg tried to open her own toll booth near the airport or when Bud got arrested for sexual harassing the background girls for his exercise video who turned out to be undercover agents). And Officer Dan (the police officer who often busts Al) even becomes a member of Al's men's rights group, NO MA'AM (National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood). | |

In "Worked Day", when Milo's class is having a career day, they meet Melissa's father, who's a firefighter, whose squad just put out a fire at a fish hatchery: |

The Office (US): After Michael and Jan get into a big argument during their dinner party, the neighbors call the police. When they arrive, Dwight tries handling it and the officers tell Dwight they don't want to deal with him right now. While escorting Pam and Jim to the hospital so they can have their child, Dwight puts a siren on his car to speed traffic along. The police immediately show up and tell him to pull over, referring to him by name. |

In Léonard le Génie Basile is a familiar sight to the staff of the local hospital, who keep a room permanently reserved for him. They occasionally complain about how much of their time goes to treating him, or casually remark that his subscription needs to be extended. | |

In Gaston Lagaffe, the firefighters are so used to Gaston's explosive experiments, floods, and noxious gasses they try to beat their own records for time taken to get to his office building. One strip has Fantasio calling them and saying "the usual address". Mind you, many of Gaston's latest lunacies are so outlandish they can still take them off-guard from time to time. | |

A more tragic example of a frequent flyer is shown in Dr. Death: The Undoctored Story, a documentary released alongside Dr. Death, both chronicling the true events in Dallas around Christopher Duntsch who maimed numerous patients in Meatgrinder Surgeries, and killed two of them. Among the victims discussed in the documentary is Phillip Mayfield. Thanks to his nerve injury at Duntsch's hands, until his death from COVID-19 suffered pain spikes so intense that he'd end up passing out. According to him and his wife, this happened so often that paramedics knew them by name such that they didn't even need to give emergency services their address. | |

John Wick: Befitting John's legendary status in the underworld, when the police roll up due to a "noise complaint" (caused by John dispatching a dozen assassins sent to ambush him), John is cordial to the police officer whom he's on a first-name basis with and in return, Jimmy knows enough not to bother doing anything even though he can plainly see a dead body in John's home. This makes Jimmy arguably the smartest person in the whole setting. | |

The Persona series: Persona 4 allows you to not only work at a hospital, but this is required to form the game's Devil Social Link, Sayoko Uehara. Persona 5 is similar. While you can't technically work at a hospital in P 5 R, if one doesn't count the medical trials, the game's Death confidant is your medicinal supplier, Tae Takemi. |

In inFAMOUS: Second Son Delsin calls the DUP hotline to phone in a tip about a 'bio-terrist' and trigger a shootout with the paramilitary unit in order to free the zone of its occupying force. Initially, the operator treats Delsin like any other citizen. With each additional call and shootout, the operator gets more upset and is quicker to recognize that Delsin is the caller. In the final call, the operator angrily calls Delsin by his formal name (Mr. Rowe!) and promises to send the full wrath of the DUP to his location. | |

They've been doing it for years and even got acquainted with the hotel security guard there, and even the pianist who plays in the lobby. The guard even knows about Linda's family and her birthday and they even listened to her idea to put new potpourri in the restrooms. | |

Malcolm in the Middle: In one episode, Reese comes home pursued by the police. When his parents notice the sirens, Lois decides to start making coffee. Then Hal notes that the policeman is a guy called Hank, who only drinks decaffeinated coffee. In one episode, Malcolm is taken to the hospital to treat a serious head injury. The first thing the nurse says when she sees Francis, Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey come in is, "Oh, for God's sake, you kids again?" According to Malcolm, the boys have a history of ending up in the hospital for stupid and dangerous stunts: Reese tried to drive a nail through an aerosol can, Francis tried to flip a knife and catch it, Malcolm fell asleep with scissors pointed at him and Reese tried to wake him up by popping a balloon, and Dewey tried to put his teeth on a bike wheel as Malcolm was spinning it. In an early episode where Lois has a pregnancy scare, a Flashback shows Lois, who's heavily pregnant at the time with Dewey, arguing with Hal. They're interrupted by a cop who greets them by name and says that they caught Francis, who was around 8-9 years old at the time, driving a stolen street sweeper, hands them a court summons, and tells them that they know where to go and what to do. |

Child of the Storm has Harry especially, given his Doom Magnet tendencies, though Carol isn't immune to it, especially given that she doesn't have the same recuperative powers (though she doesn't tend to get run through the same meat-grinder as him). McGonagall ends up despairing how his knack for finding trouble is even worse than canon, wondering if he can even go one term without risking his life. Dumbledore, the realist, expects that a fortnight is more likely. | |

The inverse of this trope occurs when the police are called and Joe shows up in uniform. |
