To unfeelingly yank da rug out from under somebody who's already agreed to your terms, while selfishly/invalidly packaging said flimflammery-fiasco as a necessary "we need to talk" alteration.
Da tiger promised da Brahman dat he wouldn't eat him if he let him outta da cage, but then he renegeotiated said promise and thus forced said naive trusting soul to try to get some other living creature to agree with him dat da tiger was doing da wrong thing.

Glaringly-obvious proof that is so easy to observe that even a clueless "thickhead" should be able to notice it.
In Edgar Allen Poe's "The Purloined Letter", Monsieur Dupin is able to locate the stolen missive quite easily in the Minister's study, even though the Prefect and his men had twice minutely searched said room, yet never noticed said evidense that was right out in plain view.

Stored-behind-da-checkout-platform substances dat are so strongly craved by certain customers dat dey will actually "vault da table" to obtain some.
Hagar The Horrible is infamous for infuriatedly taking a flying leap over an obstacle with his sword flailing whenever someone located behind said obstruction denies him a request, so one would hope that he never is prescribed any health-improvement pills by Dr. Zook, or said much-desired products might wind up being "over-the-counter medications" if said imperious Viking either was unable to pay for said pharmaceuticals, or he was wanting additional meds prior to the refill date.

Da universal understanding dat you may hurriedly "scramble in and close da door" of a dwelling or vehicle during a sudden heavy rain if said enclosure's owner initially observes your headlong dash towards him, and thus he will not be started by your high-speed entry.
A downpour-period-implied permission to enter is something like an implied door-knock, since in both instances, you aren't expected to wait outside for someone to answer da door. Now of course, once you do get in, da respectful procedure is to stop just inside da door and wheezingly catch yer breath, then make some jokingly-indignant remark like, "Okay --- who ordered da monsoon?!" Dat puts everyone inside da room at ease, and then --- unless you'd merely entered to avoid getting soaked, in which case da polite and least-interrupting action might be to just stand by da door till da rain eases up --- you can state what you'd wanted.

Da comforting companionship dat da Liberty Mutual dude gets from his goofy-lookin' bulgy-eyed feathered buddy.
Dunno how anyone could actually derive much emutional support from a weird flightless bird dat is known for being short-tempered and aggressive, but hey --- if dat's your thing, more power to you. Safety goggles and thick-fabric protective clothing might be wise to wear when communing with said fuzzy buddies, though, since their formidable beaks and claws are not exactly objects dat you'd wanna get too friendly with.

Where you use a straw or swizzle-stick to probe down into da big “scuba”* ice cream in yer cone to determine if da diner’s soda-jerk remembered to include yer prize at da bottom, or to check and see if there is indeed a delightful sticky-creamy chocolate-fudge center.
*Apologies to Abbot & Costello for swipin’ their joke here. :P

Redneck psychologist: I’ve found that one of the best --- and least painful/intrusive --- ways to determine if a client has obsessive-compulsive tendencies is to take him out for ice cream at a fast-food joint that offers a fun little prize down inside the cone, and then I simply observe whether my client performs a “scuba-diving” action before he finishes the ice cream.

Slammer-time dat ya get sentenced to due to yer not having properly cut da grooves into knife-blades.
Ya can get similar-length stints at Da Crossbar Hotel if ya either neglected to form sawing-channels into tough-materials-slicing cutlery like tomato- or steak-knives, or DID grind da ol' zipper-teeth into paring- or boning-knives dat WERE NOT supposed to have them ---- either commission of serious neglect can carry some fairly-hefty incarserration, too! :P
