* Some real-life escape rooms will use this technique as part of their puzzles: the door to the next part of the room will be sealed, and the only way to unlock it is by opening the door from the inside. This is usually a sign that there's a secret passage or hidden entrance that allows players to enter the room another way, often involving an AirVentPassageway. Once inside, the door can be opened to let everyone else in; this also serves as DevelopersForesight, since it allows people who ''can't'' use the secret passage to continue to play.

* The ''Series/{{Friends}}'' episode "[[Recap/FriendsS1E14TheOneWithTheCandyHearts The One With the Candy Hearts]]" depicts Rachel, Monica and Phoebe attempt a cleansing ritual proposed by Phoebe to get rid of their romantic bad luck by burning mementos of their past boyfriends. However, the final "ingredient" of Phoebe's proposed ritual is the semen of a righteous man; as Rachel points out, if they had that available they wouldn't ''need'' to do the cleansing ritual in the first place.

*** Similarly, while still on the Isolated Plateau, you need frost resistance to get to one of the shrines. You can either learn how to craft frost resistance food at this early stage, and also receive a frost resistance armor as a reward, or if you can manage to make it all the way to the highest point in the cold zone (by building lots of camp fires along the way, carrying a torch whenever you've got a free hand, and eating food to heal whatever hearts get lost) the Old Man will reward your tenacity with the same piece of armor.

* The doors of many apartments and hotel rooms behave like most padlocks: The key isn't necessary to lock them (simply closing them is enough), making it very easy to lock the keys inside. Dorm rooms as well, as many a college student who forgot their key when they go to take a shower can attest to.

Hotels, at least (since the advent of keycards), can give you another key as long as you can prove it's your room.

As you may have gathered, [[TheHermit Nicodemus isn't fond of the public]].

Trying to hold her breath long enough to find it in the dark would have been impractical, especially since there was a current. Once someone comes along with another wand, though, it's a simple matter to summon Ginny's wand out.

** For a simpler example, in ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'', after Sam kills a White Walker with a dragonglass dagger, Lord Commander Mormont remarks that they need more. Sam notes that Jon found some at the Fist of the First Men, but Mormont points out that since the Others have overrun that location, they'll need the dragonglass weapons found there to even get there.
