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. He pleads with the officers for protection but they just tell him, "You should have thought about the pecking order before you raped that girl." He ends up getting killed. | |

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. |

Rosario + Vampire Capu2: In episode 7, Kurumu, Mizore, and Yukari get involved in a massive fight over Tsukune, causing damage to the surrounding neighborhood and risking a Broken Masquerade, and eventually forcing Tsukune to unleash Inner Moka to forcibly break them up. 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!" | |

Done in Spider-Man 3, when Peter deduces that Eddie's photos of Spider-Man engaged in criminal activity are in fact his own photos, stolen and doctored by Eddie to get a leg up at the Bugle. Eddie is quick to beg Peter not to tell Jonah, only for Peter to smugly retort that he should have considered that beforehand. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: During the Battle City arc, Insector Hagaaka "Weevil Underwood" convinces a kid (who he later double-crosses) to sabotage Jonouchi's deck before dueling him, giving Haiga a pretty serious advantage. 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." | |

In The Faraway Paladin, Will eventually realizes in that in commanding the forces that pacified Beast Woods' monsters, having the majority of investments in Tonio who deals with the region's business and a direct line to the kingdom's church, arbitrating disputes between its villages... he's essentially the de facto Lord of Beast Woods and there's really no other options for the position otherwise. 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. | |
