Should Have Thought of That Before X / int_1463a028	comment	In one disturbing example from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a man is framed for raping a teenage girl, and is subsequently abused in prison.

Should Have Thought of That Before X / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: An example that sort of toys with this. In "Lost Our Lisa", Lisa can't go to the Isis Exhibit because Marge has to take Bart to the hospital to get the novelty items he glued to his face removed, leading to this exchange: In "Fear Of Flying", when Homer gets banned from Moe's Tavern after pranking Moe by unscrewing a lid to a jar of sugar. Parodied in "Mobile Homer", when Marge watches a Lifetime Movie of the Week about a woman losing her money after the death of her husband because he didn't have insurance. In "Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson", Homer is denied entry into an airplane's bathroom and complains. "Bart to the Future" has a Native American Chief predicting Bart will become a Future Loser who needs to mooch for a living. Homer eventually responds to Bart's attempt to make him give money by saying he should have thought about that before dropping out of the DeVry Institute. "Orange Is The New Yellow": When Marge asks who's going to watch the kids while she's under arrest, Chief Wiggum says she should have thought about that before he and other cops showed up without warning. In "The Old Man And The Lisa", when Lisa explains recycling to Mr. Burns: The page quote is from the "Treehouse Of Horror V" story "Nightmare Cafeteria". Springfield Elementary's detention gets so overcrowded, prompting the exchange above, that prompting Principal Skinner and the teachers to start eating the children in detention.

The next morning, Ruby arrives in the bus to drag them back to school; when Kurumu furiously objects, not wanting to go back to school just yet, Ruby just throws her into the bus, snapping, "Well, you should've thought of that before causing such a big ruckus in the human world!"

Jonouchi manages to win anyway, and when he demands Haiga's two locator cards and Insect Queen card, Haiga suddenly decides to plead for mercy. Jonouchi's reply is pretty much, "you should have thought of that before cheating, stupid."

He's utterly stupefied when Meneldor explains this to him, and was previously assuming things there would kind of just work out after he brought security and welfare to the place.
