...and until you apologize I'm not talking to you! Phew; the character is in trouble and, despite what the other character says, isn't aware of the problem. Often this is because of the characters misreading behavioral cues, but a culture clash or misunderstanding are also likely.
A Soap Opera style plot will often have the issue specifically occur because of a third party that is trying to drive a wedge in a relationship so they break up. After only hearing One Side of the Story, the angry character has decided on a course of action, and refuses to explain their motives to their victim. The poor victim is unable to defend themselves since they don't even understand where the attack is coming from.
Sub-Trope of Poor Communication Kills because if the characters actually talked out the problem, there wouldn't be one. Also a sub-trope to Bewildering Punishment because the character getting "punished" is "in the doghouse" until they can convince the other character (who probably isn't listening) to forgive them. In some cases, it may overlap with Mad at a Dream, in that the person can't know what they did if it only occurred in a nightmare. A common (and maddening) form of Idiot Ball. It may also overlap with Cannot Spit It Out, in cases where the accuser and sometimes even the accused are aware of "what they did", but circumstances (internal or external) actively prevent them from coming clean.

On Happy Days, Richie is drugged at a party and goes on a wild bit, insulting friends, acting crazy and driving Fonz's motorcycle. The next morning, Richie wakes up a bit hung over, but no memory of any of this. So he's not sure why everyone at the diner is pissed at him. When Foz shows up and asks for an instant explanation, Richie asks, "for what?" and Fonzie tells everyone, "you all saw it, I gave him a chance," and prepares to pound Richie. Richie openly asks what he did, but no one will answer. He finally accepts that it must have been bad enough to warrant a beatdown and is ready for it. Thankfully, his confusion is enough to convince Fonzie Richie has no clue what's happening and hunts down the guy who drugged him. Interestingly, Richie doesn't come clean to everyone about what happened but trusts them to give him another chance, which they do.

In Othello, it's not that simple. Iago is known by all the characters as "honest Iago" because he has a reputation for always telling the truth, being seen as incapable of doing anything other than tell it like it is. Add in that Iago and Othello have fought in battles many times before to the extent that Othello has built up an absolute trust in Iago, who was always with him in the heat of battle. Though Othello does not ask Desdemona about this, Iago has a hand in this, saying first that Desdemona would just deny it and then that Desdemona deceived her father to marry Othello, when Othello questions why Desdemona would betray him when she has such a loyal character.

Subverted in one episode of Desperate Housewives, a series that otherwise plays the trope straight. Lynette thinks that Tom is having an affair with the mother of Porter's friend; Tom knows that it's actually Porter who's having the affair, but doesn't know the identity of the "girl" in question. Lynette confronts Tom about it, he's relieved that she knows which just makes her even angrier, until Tom, still oblivious to the fact that she's mad at him, manages to get in enough words that Lynette is able to piece together the truth. Cue Porter walking in, Lynette demanding "You're having sex with your best friend's mother?!" and Tom finally understanding what she was so mad about.

Ranma ½:
This is one of the problems in Akane Tend�'s relationship with Ranma Saotome, of course. She is willing to see the worst of anything slightly suspicious that Ranma does, something Ranma has actually lampshaded in the anime, jump to perverse conclusions about Ranma's goals/intentions/motivations, has been shown to consciously ignore elements of Ranma's own attempts at self-defense to prove her point and selectively remember events to further back up her opinions (manga version of Hinako's introduction), and believe the lies of people like Shampoo and Uky�... who, by the way, are her devout rivals for Ranma's hand.
Akane isn't the only person in Ranma ½ who does this, though... unusually, however, the other people who do so tend to be Ranma's male rivals, using this trope in relation to their particular love interest being upset and them blaming that fact on Ranma (and using it as an excuse to try and beat the hell out of him). A good example would be Ry�ga and Kun� attacking Ranma after he "kissed" Akane during the first Nekoken story, an event that Ranma doesn't remember due to "Kitty Ranma" being a kind of split personality. Never mind that fact that it was Kun� who awakened "Kitty Ranma" in by exposing him to his fear of cats, but is too proud and stupid to take responsibility for the incident.

Tokyo Tribe 2 has this with the reason why Mera wants to kill Kai. For the first several episodes, we don't know what it is, with Mera and Skunk hitting Kai with these lines early on, in flashback and in present time. As it turns out in episode 12, what Kai did was actually a lie Skunk told Mera to break up his and Kai's friendship. The lie? That Kai pushed Fujio, Mera's girlfriend, in front of an incoming train. The truth? She committed suicide for unknown reasons, and Kai thought that she was accidentally pushed out of the crowd onto the tracks.

Also done in the play Much Ado About Nothing, but with the genders switched round. Hero and Claudio are to be married the next morning - but the evil Don John convinces the court that Hero has been sleeping around. The entire court (except for the heroes) immediately believe the deceitful Prince that previously tried to overthrow the court. Of course, in fairness, they thought they'd actually seen Hero in the act...

In Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, Kyosuke Munakata went through several traumatic and character breaking moments turning him into a paranoid and half-crazed Knight Templar. This cumulates in him fatally stabbing his best friend, Juzo Sakakura, and delivering this line. He does this believing that Juzo had turned to the side of despair, after being told by Kazuo Tengan that everybody was the traitor (which was technically true but for a different reason).

CSI: NY: In a flashback in "Life Sentence" to when a perp named Raymond Harris was locked up 17 years prior, he's in a group being led down a prison hallway when he spots Mac and shouts, "You know what you did!" At the time, Mac had no idea what he was talking about, but as this episode progresses, he learns that Harris assumed Mac was in on his then-partner's theft of $400,000 in stolen money that Harris had hidden in his apartment, as well as the murder of Harris' fiancee.

Averted in Chinese Paladin 3. When the heroine, who usually has some justification for her suspicions, angrily confronts the hero with this trope, he very sensibly replies "No, what did I do?" and explains what was going on. It's almost beautiful.

This happens to Dexter during his second season. His girlfriend overhears Dexter's Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, who she's already suspicious of, mention on his answering phone that they spent the night together, and walks out on him. It's true... except it just means he fell asleep with his head in her lap after talking about his terrible childhood. She is his counselor, of sorts, after all. It's not actually shown if it was on purpose but considering how Lila turns out it would make complete sense that she did it on purpose knowing Rita would be there. However, Dexter has just recently revealed that he is a drug addict and he has been lying to her about things to hide his addiction. So it is not much of a stretch for her to believe that he would cheat on her as well. At least she does not find out that he is lying about being a drug addict and is actually a serial killer. When Rita finally confronts Dexter about it, he answers truthfully: he didn't have sex with Lila that night. Rita immediately picks up on the clarification and breaks up with Dexter. They work things out in the end, though.

Subverted in a subplot of the webcomic Dominic Deegan. Manipulative Bastard Neilen Everstar tries to convince the protagonist and his girlfriend, respectively, that the other is discontent with the state of their otherwise happy relationship. Dominic being a seer invalidates the first half, but given Luna's propensity toward self-loathing, one would almost expect his ploy with her to be preordained to succeed. However, this isn't the case. While Dominic being a seer makes it impossible to fool him, the reason he doesn't warn Luna is because he trusts her enough to believe she would see through the trick. He was right.

In the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero fanfic Another Cartoon Romance Gone Wrong, Beach Head jokes to Duke that he should be careful about Scarlet and Snake Eyes getting together, only for Duke to get up and leave in despair. To Beach Head's further confusion, everyone starts yelling at him for acting like an insensitive jerk for joking about something that he has no idea about, especially since it was two years ago that day. It's not until Low Light remembers that Beach Head was away at that time that the others realize he has no idea Duke and Scarlet broke up while Scarlet went back to Snake Eyes.

Twin Princess of Wonder Planet: Episode 24 has bird people being teed off at the Windmill Kingdom and setting up barricades, and all one particular messenger will say is: "Why did we take such actions? King Randa [of the Windmill Kingdom] should know the reason." Naturally, King Randa is quite clueless. Turns out King Randa is planning to build an amusement park in their area, or at least that's what the henchmen of the Moon Kingdom are saying.

Tim and Marsha get into one of these in the penultimate episode of Spaced. Marsha, who believes Tim and Daisy to be a couple, has seen Tim kissing his new girlfriend and confronts him about cheating on Daisy, threatening to inform her. Tim, however, does not know this, and because Marsha does not actually explicitly say anything about what she's seen, believes that Marsha is in fact referring to a birthday cake Tim has arranged for Daisy as a nice birthday surprise. Complications, naturally, ensue.

The Powerpuff Girls:
Blossom in the episode "A Very Special Blossom." She steals a set of golf clubs to give the Professor for Father's Day. When the heat's on (read: the Professor, seen with the clubs, is arrested for theft), she ambushes Mojo Jojo, trusses him up and tries to frame him for the theft. Buttercup and Bubbles don't believe her for a second, and a beatdown among the three takes place until Blossom confesses.
In "Curses", the girls unwittingly pick up swearing after they overheard the Professor doing it. When they curse in school, Miss Keane sends them to timeout. When they asked what they did to deserve it, she tells them "You know perfectly well what you did."

Thomas Riker uses this to his advantage in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Defiant". Surprised by Chief O'Brien's presence aboard the titular ship, Riker cuts O'Brien's greeting off with a hard glare and "I have nothing to say to you, Chief, and I think you know why." This is because Thomas is impersonating William Riker at the time, and knows that a close friend like O'Brien would be able to tell the difference. So, by pretending to be mad at O'Brien over some past incident, Tom gets an excuse to avoid him, while at the same time confusing him enough that he won't press the issue.

In With Pearl and Ruby Glowing, Cornelius discovers that Wilbur was raped when the latter walks into the Palace while the former is telling his story. Since Wilhelmina was also attending the Palace and didn't tell him (due to the support group's confidentiality policy), Cornelius assumes she told her husband Wallace and begins acting cold towards him while refusing to explain himself. Even after Wallace gets the full story from Wilhelmina and Wilbur, Cornelius still refuses to believe it until he calms down and apologizes for thinking he knew.

Gravity Rush: This is the reason why Raven spends most of the first game as a Hero Antagonist. She is incredibly hostile towards Kat because mayoral candidate D'nelica promised that he will send a search team to rescue the children down in Boutoume if she kept the missing parts of the city in the rifts, and Kat bringing back these lost neighborhoods and fixing the city undermines this. However, she assumes that Kat already knows the reason for her antagonism, and treats Kat's confusion as the young woman playing dumb. Kat does eventually learn about the missing kids by pure happenstance and helps solve that issue, but still has no clue why Raven hated her until the fellow Shifter finally apologies and explains her actions.

Monk:
In the episode "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Marriage", a police sergeant tells Captain Stottlemeyer that he's having an affair with Stottlemeyer's wife, and the captain is suspicious enough to have his wife followed, despite her protestations of innocence. And then he's surprised when she asks for a divorce. Though it also works the other way: Stottlemeyer's wife was planning to divorce him before any of that even happened, and flat-out refused to explain why when he asked. Given that the audience saw virtually nothing over the series to back her up, it made her look like quite a bitch.
Stottlemeyer explains it himself to Monk in a later episode, the one where Monk gets shot. He's acting like a tremendous Jerkass to Natalie because he blames her for his injury, and she accepts it because she blames herself, and so due to essentially working round the clock taking care of Monk, wheeling him around in a wheelchair, etc., she is very nearly broken down. Stottlemeyer takes Monk aside, warns him that if he keeps acting like that Natalie will leave, then proceeds to state that he knows this because Monk is acting like Stottlemeyer himself and that that was why his wife left him.

In season 3 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, a reporter comes on board and Freeman wants everyone to keep quiet on the many screwups the ship has undergone over the years. When Victoria starts pressing on some of those incidents, everyone jumps to the conclusion Mariner told her because she'd been seen talking to Victoria in private against orders. Mariner is jarred at everyone giving her the cold shoulder, including her own mother, Freeman, who has Mariner transferred to the horrible Starbase 80. She keeps insisting, "all I did was tell the truth," which everyone assumes was on the incidents. At which point, the final report airs..and it turns out the reporter knew of all these events because every other officer she talked to mentioned them, none of them even realizing they were laying out stuff that would make the Cerritos look bad. In fact, Mariner was the one person who praised the ship, crew and her mother for keeping it all together. The reporter then notes how Mariner was transferred off the ship for what appears to be telling the truth and making Freeman out as a tyrant unable to take any dissension. Everyone is incredibly guilty over not even talking to Mariner first, with Freeman the worst...especially when she tries to call Mariner to apologize only to hear she resigned from Starfleet completely.

A purely accidental version occurs in Sequential Art, where Kat slumps face-first into Art's crotch while the two are sleeping on the couch, and accuses Art of being a pervert when she wakes up to find herself in said compromising position, leaving Art confused by her outburst since he was asleep when it happened. However, she learns this little detail from Pip soon after and apologizes to a still-confused Art.

In the joke Magic: The Gathering set Unfinity, a card called Embiggen gives a creature +1/+1 for each type, supertype, and subtype they possess... except it can't be used on Brushwaggs. The only justification given in the official rulings is "Brushwaggs know what they did."note In practice, this is because of the existence of creatures with the ability "Changeling", which gives them every creature type at once. Without this exception, they could be considered to have practically infinite power and toughness while affected by Embiggen; with it, Changelings are automatically exempt from being a target, but since there are only three or so Brushwagg cards otherwise, the rest of the game is largely unaffected.

The third movie of Rebuild of Evangelion deconstructs this in a brutal fashion — Asuka, Misato and Ritsuko are treating Shinji like crap and won't explain why, so Shinji has no idea for most of the movie that he, by complete accident, nearly destroyed the world. When he finds out what he did, he's desperate to fix it... but the animosity between Shinji and Asuka prevents them from finding out that if Shinji tries to undo the Near Third Impact, he'll actually finish the job.
It goes about as badly as possible in BOTH ways. By being kept out of the loop initially Shinji doesn't find out NERV is the enemy and the Rei calling him is not the one he knew and he defects as a result. He's later actually told but hearing the full truth only causes his guilt to spiral out of control until he can't be talked out of it at all and he inadvertently follows Gendo's plan again.

It just happens that unknown to Maya the Phoenix she's talking with is a Phoenix from Alternate Universe, who has no way of knowing what his counterpart screwed up.

Crimson and Noire: In chapter 25, Aurore is furious at Kim for causing Alix to get akumatized because both girls thought Kim knew that Alix was aromantic. Kim is aware that him asking Alix out for Valentine's Day did cause the akumatization, but didn't know that Alix telling him beforehand that she was Aro meant she was aromatic (especially since never heard the term before) and thought she was calling herself an arrow because they were racing at the time, and thus unaware why asking her out was a bad idea. This causes Aurore to slightly calm down and explain to him and Crimson just what it means to be aromantic and how Alix has built up frustration from people denying her romantic orientation.

Subverted nicely in Hitch, where the object of his affections took the word of a known Smug Snake, with every reason to lie, and proceeded to break up with Hitch without explanation, then trash him in her gossip column, before confronting him at a restaurant one night. Hitch, after pausing for shock, calls her out on this and corrects her loudly in front of everyone, leaving her looking quite the fool. Then the film follows up with having her apologize and him not accept it, thus making the true climax him publicly apologizing for not accepting her apology, and begging her to come back to him.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
In "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Tolls", Sweetie Belle accuses Rarity of deliberately upstaging her just like she did at her fifth birthday party, but Rarity doesn't know what she's talking about. Later in her dreams, Princess Luna flashes Sweetie Belle back to the party in question and shows her the truth behind what happened that day.
In the episode "The Hooffields and McColts", Twilight and Fluttershy are roped into trying to end a feud between two families. When trying to find out how the feud started, both family leaders respond with "They know what they did." Twilight sees this as a sign that neither of them knows what the other did.

Two Letters: Marinette considers something Alya did to be utterly unforgivable. When Alya pleads with her that she doesn't even know what upset her so much, Marinette retorts that the very fact that she hasn't been able to figure it out on her own is just proof of how little she cared about her 'bestie'. Considering that Alya's response when Marinette does reveal the inciting incident is to cluelessly ask why she cares about that, and then attempt to dismiss it with "Everyone makes mistakes!" even after Marinette painstakingly spells out why she considers it to be such a massive betrayal, it's not hard to see why Marinette feels that way.

Sunless Sea: The official trade embargo document on the Empire of Hands is mostly dedicated to explaining what exactly isn't allowed. When it comes to the reason why the embargo is in place, "They know what they did" is the only explanation. Most of the admiralty doesn't actually know what they did, but since the inhabitants are soul-stealing monkeys that hate humanity the embargo was probably well-deserved.

Codename: Kids Next Door "Operation Dogfight" doesn't actually use the phrase, but it's a YKWYD plot anyway, and one that works to boot: some kid who has shot down Numbuh 2 several times walks in with a chili dog into a hobby shop where 2 is shopping and gives 2 a Death Glare. At first go, one is led to conclude that he's being all "Hey, I'M the new king of the sky now, so stay out!" However, when they both shoot each other down, the kid is all "At least I stopped you from bombing the chili dog factory," and it becomes obvious that the kid was actually giving him a "You know what you're doing" glare from having heard from the shop owner that 2 was planning to do just that. With both of their planes wrecked and out of the way, the shop owner goes off to bomb the chili dog factory himself, angry at how customers always spill chili sauce on his counter.

In an episode of Doug, the title character manages to destroy a condemned house with a single rock to impress Patti. However, this causes her to hate him for the duration of the episode because it was her old house back when her mother was still alive. The episode is exacerbated because Patti (and later Bebe, who asks her about it on Doug's request) refuse to pass that information onto Doug. His best friend Skeeter thought he knew about it, since everyone in town knows it, forgetting that he just recently moved to town. At the end, Patti apologized for being angry at him.

A nonromantic variant gets played with in one issue of Catwoman. The Trickster phones in a tip to the media that gives away her identity as mayoral candidate Selina Kyle, and she flies into a rage at him for outing her — and then it turns out that it was meant as a generic political smear campaign and the identification was a coincidence. And then he legitimately figures it out.

Friends:
Phoebe claims this to Ross in an episode. Subverted in a way in that Phoebe dreamed what Ross did, and what she dreamed was... weird.
Inverted when Ross is supposed to have read a long tract written by Rachel about the status of their relationship, and he should have known what Rachel meant by saying "Does it or doesn't it?" Ross says, "It does," and this is what Rachel wanted to hear. But "It does" meant that Ross apologizes and admits he was wrong. This is an act of appeasement that Ross was not ready to make. And it's a problem when Rachel thinks Ross has apologized and made up, but he hasn't.

In one recursive fanfic of Brainbent (about patient Vriska's backstory), no one will tell the POV male character what offense everyone is suddenly shunning him for. It takes a lot of pleading to his own mother before she finally tells him he's accused of raping his Psycho Ex-Girlfriend Vriska.

More than one Social Media site or message board Moderator will suspend accounts and punish people while refusing to state what caused the punishment. Ironically, this can make things even more toxic when the people eventually return, because they now "know" that the people who run the site can and will ban people "for no reason", so now all sins are equal. (There's a reason sites like Wikipedia engage in "warnings" first, and go out of their way to refer to specific events when banning.)
