This is the act of giving someone an item that is harmless on its own, but designed to cause trouble later on through external sources. For example, raw meat in bear country, an air horn in snow-capped mountains, or carrots in rabbit territory. Related to Uriah Gambit. See also Chekhov's Gun. |

StarCraft: In one of the most horrifically inhumane tactics in the campaign, Mengsk has Kerrigan plant Psi-Emitters on a rebellious planet's surface. This attracts the Zerg swarm to ravage the area. Actually a double example, as the Zerg then attract the Protoss fleet to simply incinerate the entire planet. And again, with Edmund Duke at Tarsonis. "Who authorized the use of Psi-emitters!?" |

Heralds of Valdemar: The Tarma and Kethry short story "Friendly Fire" centers around a bad-luck token the pair receive by mistake, which can only be gotten rid of by giving to someone else. They run into bandits, and as the token is mixed in with their coins, the thieves take it off their hands. | |

Inverted in Dragon Quest III with the Golden Claw. Dangerous in the pyramid (every step's a random encounter, and you can't use magic in the basement where you get it), but once you leave, as long as you don't return to the pyramid, it's the fighter's best weapon (it still increases the encounter rate outside the pyramid, just not nearly as drastically). | |

At the end of the mission, Bass is sailing his renamed ship to rendezvous the British fleet off the French coast. However, a traitor on board secretly lowers the British ensign Bass if flying and runs up the French tricolour. This causes Bass' ship to be fired on and sunk by the British fleet. | |

Downplayed in Sofia the First, wherein a rival steward gives Baileywick a pin that curses its possessor with clumsiness. He doesn't wish any harm on Baileywick, he simply wants Baileywick out of a job (either fired or via retirement, believing himself to be too old to be useful) so that he can take it instead. When Sofia and Clover figure out what's going on, Clover sticks the pin back onto the rival to buy Sofia time to explain the situation. | |

In X2: X-Men United, Mystique puts a syringe filled with iron in solution into an off-duty guard's butt. How bad this would be for him in the long term is unknown considering that he seems only a little bit under the weather the next day, but he's also hung over and recovering from some kind of drug. But long-term effects don't really matter because Magneto uses the extra iron in the guard's blood to escape, killing the guard. | |

The Tales of Beedle the Bard pertaining to the legendary Deathly Hallows in Harry Potter. Three wizarding siblings evade Death, but Death is cunning, and appears to congratulate them and offers a gift to each. These gifts later caused the demise of the eldest and middle by Artifact of Attraction and Driven to Suicide respectively. The youngest avoids this fate because he does not trust Death, and asks for 'an item that allows him to leave without being followed by Death'. | |

One Law & Order episode involved a girl giving her current boyfriend a leather jacket that used to belong to her former boyfriend, a member of a violent biker gang. The guy did not realize that the jacket had the gang's "colors" on it and by wearing it he was insulting the gang in the worst way. The girlfriend found out that he was going to dump her to please his rich parents so she made him a target, knowing that he would be in a bar frequented by members of the biker gang. She expected him to receive a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown but he was stabbed to death instead. | |

The Mentalist: Jane will sometimes pull this, such as planting a seemingly innocuous marble in a man's pocket and then claiming marbles are used to identify Red John's followers. To stop a serial killer who had managed to cover his tracks a little too well, Jane appeared on a live broadcast show with him. He brought up Red John in their conversation after jabbing at the killer's ego, prompting the killer to mock the supposedly-deceased Red John as a pathetic amateur. Not a day later, he was found dead with Red John's signature. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: A variation occurs on the episode where Picard is forced to take a vacation on the Pleasure Planet Risa. Riker raves about Risa at various points in the series and asks Picard to pick him up something called a "horga'hn" while there. Turns out the horga'hn is a fertility statue and displaying one in public (as Picard does, unaware of its meaning) is essentially broadcasting that one is looking for some action, specifically a sexual rite known as jamaharon. When Picard finally got someone to explain why random women kept brazenly approaching/propositioning him as he tried to find a moment's quiet, he was not amused. | |
