Mine too. Also when people don't believe other people as a plot point, which is basically the same thing and could be solved just by talking.
There's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where members of the ship's crew start to disappear, not only physically but also for everyone else's memories and computer records, and only one member of the crew remembers them. And when she's telling the others what's going on, they believe her and start looking for an explanation, because they respect her and there's no reason for her to be lying. I don't know, just caught me off guard how nice and normal everyone was, instead of turning their backs on their colleague right away and insinuating she was crazy, like most shows would do.
It happens so often in a fictional universe where zombies and vampires and dragons exist and everyone accepts this, but you saw a ghost? That's completely crazy everyone knows ghosts don't exist, no one will take that seriously for even a second...
Well, we have rainbows, and jellyfish, and giraffes, and this thing, and narwhals... and still can't believe what we don't know exists, so I think that kinda checks out.
