Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When a character gets covered with dirt or is walking through the snow, he will look down and see his own footprints. However, because this character is either a Cloudcuckoolander or The Ditz, he will think that his footprints belong to someone else and start following the footprints. It is then that the character is back where he started that he realizes that it was actually his own footprints that he had been following. A subtrope of Going in Circles. When a person is following himself deliberately, that's Hired to Hunt Yourself. |

A more high-tech version of this occurs in Now You See Me, where the main character is using an electronic device to tail The Four Horsemen after one of their shows, only for the device to get tagged onto him by one of the persecutee, so the main character would begin tracking him instead. It takes until he plows into and out of a random bathroom before he realizes it. | |

There's a hilarious version in That Darn Cat!, when FBI agents tracking the titular cat follow him to a house and barge in with guns drawn, expecting to find a lair of kidnappers. Only problem is, it's the cat's owners' house, which is where the FBI team has set up its headquarters. | |

In The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episode "The Piglet Who Would Be King", Pooh enters Rabbit's house by going down the chimney while trying to find Rabbit. Because Pooh gets covered with soot while doing so, he starts tracking soot all over the floor but mistakes his own footprints for "honeynapper tracks". | |

Very briefly in The Scooby-Doo Project they find some tracks (both human and dog) and declare it to be some kind of monstrous freak. Then Fred points out that those are their own footprints. | |

In Olympic Dames, two sets of Bigfoot hunters, each ignorant of the other's existence, end up tracking each other, exacerbated by both putting out what the other recognises as Sasquatch mating calls... it doesn't help there are fugitive criminals holed up in the area, one of whom is big and mean enough to look like a shaved Sasquatch... | |

Tintin: In the comic Land of Black Gold, the Thompsons get lost in the desert. They're driving a jeep, and soon come across some tire tracks, which they follow. The tracks are joined by another set, and another... until eventually they are convinced they have found a major trail that dozens of vehicles have taken. Of course, it's their own tracks, as they have been driving in circles for hours. Even when they run into a fuel can and notice their own can fell off they don't make the connection. In Explorers on the Moon, the bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson walk around the moon's surface and soon, to their surprise (since this expedition marks the first time men set foot on the moon) find footprints and promptly radio the rest of the crew. When told it's likely their own tracks, they reminisce about the desert episode. |

Winnie-the-Pooh: In The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episode "The Piglet Who Would Be King", Pooh enters Rabbit's house by going down the chimney while trying to find Rabbit. Because Pooh gets covered with soot while doing so, he starts tracking soot all over the floor but mistakes his own footprints for "honeynapper tracks". In the earlier theatrical featurette Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too, Pooh and Piglet follow snowprints in a circular path that seem to increase in number, unaware that they're following their own tracks. |

In the original Winnie-the-Pooh book, Pooh finds some snow tracks and starts to follow the "Woozle;" Piglet joins him, and then they discover that the Woozle has been joined by a friend, then two more, and then two more again. Christopher Robin informs them that they've just been following their own tracks around a tree. | |

Early in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, one NPC won't let you proceed west of Oldale because he's busy sketching footprints he believes belong to a rare Pokémon; he's rather embarrassed to find out they were just his own. | |
