Running into the Window	comment	A character is walking along when he notices a window that is apparently open. He wonders aloud who left the window open as he walks over to close it, only to run directly into the glass, revealing that the window is so clean that it gave the impression that it was open. Or a character looks over at the kitchen area to see an open area so they run over to it, only to run into the glass again, revealing it to be a sliding glass door that also gave it the impression of being an open door. This is a Comedy trope where a character will mistake a clean window or a sliding glass door for an open door then run into the window or door when they try to go through it. Truth in Television, although in Real Life this may result in anything from a Tap on the Head to being pelted with shattered glass. Compare Glass Smack and Slide.

Needless to say, and despite following a lengthy conversation with Dan about how he'd better not refuse to activate the detonator in order to see exactly this happen, the detonator ends up being faulty, and Gav a tad more uncomfortable than before with what happens next.
