TV or movie pet peeves

Driving into a chainlink fence gate and the padlock and chain just pop and the gates fly open.

I beleive they did this one on Mythbusters and it turned out pretty close. The main issue was the deployment of the airbags on impact with the gate.

Toll booths, parking attendant booths EXPLODE into fine splinters when hit by a car, with nary a scratch on the auto.

They did that one too (with a fruit stand, rather than a toll booth). The car suffered some pretty bad damage, but I think it was technically still driveable.

I long for the days of the X-Files, when a single man and single woman could be friends and/or work together without spending 10 minutes a week trying to decide if they're in love.

You need to watch more X-Files.
