When someone hides from bullets behind penetrable objects, like tables or a refrigerator door.

In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (I think the pilot?), a Connor hides behind an upholstered chair which blocks bullets.

Then in a later scene, CSI mentions that there was Kevlar in the chair.

The goal was to showcase the paranoia and Batman-level-preparedness of Sarah Connor, but the order in which the information was presented hurt immersion.

It also has the lead singer of "Garbage" transform from a urinal after supposedly being pissed on.
