This is for when a character, or group of characters, intends to help another character, or group of characters, but because of what it seems like and the reputations of those who happen to be offering the help and any other circumstances, the very characters whom they are trying to help mistake it for intent to cause harm. Not to be confused with Stab the Scorpion, as that's typically associated with giving the audience a misleading first impression as well. Can result in Made Out to Be a Jerkass. Compare Don't Sneak Up on Me Like That!. Terrifying Rescuer is a subtrope. |

In Lord of the Clans Thrall is doing some combat sparring in Durnholde (because of his skill, he fights several men at once) when an orc prisoner breaks free and angrily charges the group yelling something in orcish. He's quickly slain and Thrall is confused what grievance the orc had towards him. When he recounts the story to Grom Hellscream, Grom translates the orc's cries as him telling Thrall to flee while he distracts the guards and Thrall is humbled to realize that from his perspective the unnamed orc saw a young orc seemingly being menaced by humans and tried to give his life to save him. | |

Later on in the episode, his act of throwing away Mrs Warboys' hand grenade makes him fall over. Some young people, assuming he's had a heart attack, come and attempt CPR, but Victor thinks he's being punched in the chest and retaliates. | |

Many examples in RRR When Bheem thinks Ram is trying to shoot him when Ram was aiming at the soldier trying to kill Bheem. A lighter version of this happens during the Good-Times Montage, when they try to help a goat into its pen and the little goatherd thinks they're trying to steal it and chases them across the field. |

In X3: Terran Conflict and X3: Albion Prelude, the player's space suit is equipped with a repair laser for patching up hull damage (otherwise you have to pay a shipyard to have it fixed, and that can be prohibitively expensive in the early game). Mechanically it works by going through shields and dealing negative hull damage. Thing is, the game still treats it as a weapon, so if you use it on ships you don't own they'll react as if they're being attacked, and Hilarity Ensues. | |

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: In "Ghosts of Illyria", some energy entities try to break into a room where Pike and Spock have barricaded themselves. It turns out they simply wanted to shield the two from the incoming ion storm. Spock theorizes that the entities are what's left of Illyrians who were vaporized by an ion storm after running into it under the influence of a virus that made them crave light. | |

Harry Potter: This is a common mistake made concerning Professor Snape's interaction with Harry Potter, particularly in the first book; due to Snape's harsh treatment of Harry, everyone quickly assumes that such actions as Snape staring at Harry's jerking broom muttering to himself are Snape jinxing the broom, but it is finally revealed that he was actually acting to protect Harry from Voldemort's forces in memory of the debt he owed Harry's father and his own affection for Harry's mother. In the fifth book, Harry and Dudley get attacked by Dementors who drain their happiness and energy. Harry fights them off and pulls Dudley to safety. But since Dementors are Invisible to Normals, Dudley did not understand what was happening and thought Harry was the one hurting him with his spells. |

He tries to assure them he's not there to cause trouble, the beating causes his words to come out as gibberish. One of the people he was following, in his panic, assumes Harry is trying to cast a spell, and one of the others throws him into a dumpster. | |

In A Brother's Price something like this ensues when Cira offers Jerin her help. Unsurprisingly, as he had seen her working together with his kidnappers. She had been infiltrating them. Another instance: when Eldest Whistler suddenly tackles Princess Ren, Ren initially thinks she's being assaulted, but Eldest had spotted a trap and was getting Ren away from it. |

It's taken to the extent that when he saves someone from a burning building, the fire department promptly blast him with riot hoses and accuse him of being the one to start said fire, and when Spidey pushes one of the firemen out of the way of falling debris and ends up being buried under the rubble and presumed dead, said fireman later goes on TV, claiming that Spidey was actually trying to attack him, and the collapsing building saved his life. | |

One Life to Live: After Blair is set upon and mugged by two gang members, she is left lying unconscious on the ground. When another young man happens upon her and leans over her to see if she's okay, the cops come along and naturally assume that he is her attacker. Fortunately, Blair is able to clear his name once she recovers. When gang-rape leader Todd Manning attacks his victim Marty again, her friend Luna happens upon the scene and whacks him on the head with a pipe. Unfortunately, thanks to the rape case being well known among the townspeople, the cops assume Luna was acting as a vigilante rather than defending Marty. |

However, even after the situation has been explained, the adherents do not apologize for attacking or even acknowledge that they were mistaken, claiming that they are still obliged to kill the male riders for threatening a woman. | |

In Boarding School Juliet, some thugs from the Black Dogs ambush Juliet Percia of the opposing White Cats, blinding her with pepper spray and tearing open her shirt note hopefully just to intimidate her. It is at this point that Romio Inuzuka (who is also a Black Dog, but significantly more honorable, and secretly in love with Percia) notices what's going on and intervenes, picking Percia up, and running. So when Percia's vision clears a few minutes later, what she sees is her hated rival on top of her while she's half-undressed. | |

In Renegades, when the headquarters are attacked, Adrian runs in and sees Nightmare standing over Max's unconscious body. He naturally assumes she tried to kill him, while the chapter from her perspective already showed she was actually attempting to rescue him. | |

Boldores and Boomsticks: When Ruby asks a Golbat for directions to the nearest town, it responds by grabbing her and flying into the air. Her teammates ready their weapons until Ruby calls down that she can see one, as Golbat was hovering just above the treeline. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Lesson Zero", Twilight Sparkle finds Fluttershy giving a bear a massage, but it's so violent that Twilight thinks Fluttershy is beating up the bear. Admittedly, so does the audience. | |

At least twice in The Horse and His Boy, Aslan appears and chases the horses (they don't know he's their Big Good, as even Bree thinks "the Lion" is just a metaphorical title). Each time he's trying to either get them to work together or give them a push when they most need it, but they panic as if he's actually going to kill and eat them. Eventually he meets them face to face, and they understand what he was doing and why. | |

In National Security, when Earl tries to jimmy his car after he locked his keys inside, Hank thinks he's trying to steal it, and after a brief argument, a bee flies close and Hank tries to shoo it away with his night stick, and witnesses think Hank is beating Earl, The off-angle footage, and Earl's allergic reaction (which include swelling of the face), results in Hank going to jail. | |

Ed, Edd n Eddy: "Boys Will Be Eds": Rolf's goat attacks Jimmy for his sandwich. As Rolf tries to pry the goat off Jimmy, Sarah appears and automatically thinks that Rolf is attacking Jimmy before slamming her racket down over his head and beating him to a pulp. "If It Smells Like an Ed": The Eds discover Johnny hogtied. The Kids arrive shortly after and think their attempts at untying him are actually them tying him up themselves. |

RWBY Chibi: In "The Clutches of Evil", the Red Huntress (Pyrrha with a Paper-Thin Disguise) saves the Huntsman (Jaune with a similar Paper-Thin Disguise) from Roman Torchwick's death trap, but Jaune believes her to be a supervillainess. Given his declaration that he'll keep chasing her until he catches her, she doesn't complain much. | |

It's heavily implied that this is what's going on in Jacob's Ladder. Louis states at one point that if you're dying and reject your death, it looks like demons are trying to destroy your life. But if you make your peace with your impending demise, they look like angels freeing you from Earth instead. Jacob spends most of the film struggling to survive, and is thus surrounded by horrific visions. But when he finally lets go... | |

Third Watch. Sully and Davis spot a man being beaten in an alleyway and split up to trap the attackers. Sully slips and falls, dropping his gun. A well-meaning, completely innocent civilian happens along and asks if he's okay, reaching down to pick up the gun and hand it to him. At this point, Davis comes upon the scene, thinks that the man is going to shoot Sully and promptly empties his own gun into him. He's horrified to realize his mistake and feels even worse when he's cleared of any wrongdoing. | |

Doug: This is what triggers the plot of the Christmas Episode. When everyone is playing ice hockey, Bebe strays too close to thin ice. Porkchop tries to warn her about it, but she doesn't pay attention to him (not helped by the fact that the warning sign fell through the thin ice), so Porkchop grabs her by the leg to pull her away, inadvertently hurting her. This results in Porkchop being condemned as a mad dog and nearly sentenced to being put to sleep. Fortunately, Porkchop was able to prove himself innocent when Bebe ends up falling through the thin ice and he saves her life. | |

Suske en Wiske: In the album "De Stemmenrover" (the voice thief), Lambik runs into a Japanese princess who is being attacked by bandits, and comes to her aid. While Lambik singlehandedly fights the bandits, the princess runs away. Lambik wins the fight but then sees another group of armed men coming his way. Assuming they are bandits as well, he defeats them too, only to learn afterwards that they were actually samurai sent by the princess to help him. | |

The Critic: Alice's first appearance ends up this way. Jay passes by her and her daughter, Penny struggling to carry her groceries in the rain, when someone bumps into her causing her to drop them. Jay feels bad for them and goes over to offer to share his cab ride. When Alice sees him approaching, she douses him with pepper spray. Luckily, Jay is not fazed by it (he notes that it tastes like jalapeño), and Alice quickly apologizes when she realizes he's trying to help. | |
