Life can be unfair. For example, you've just saved the day, but everyone else heaps praise on to someone who was hardly involved in it (Framed for Heroism). Or, you've just saved the day, but you go on to lose a gymnastics competition you entered on the same day. You're probably thinking... "Dude, where's my reward?" Often part of An Aesop about what's really important. When you know in advance that you will get no credit and probably get blame: What You Are in the Dark. Seeing too many of these may be a warning sign that you're watching a Sadist Show. Compare Dude, Where's My Respect?
