When someone is driving a car and they keep rocking the steering wheel back and forth. Yet, the footage behind them is a straight road.

Regarding the infomercials, I heard the reason for the people acting so clueless is because the products are intended for disabled persons, but to keep from alienating able bodied persons, they want to avoid using or portraying obviously disabled people in their tv spots.
On-topic, elementary teachers on t.v. who leave the room in the middle of class, usually with a "kids, keep coloring/reading/working/etc.". The district I worked for wasn't exactly a recommended stop on the path to the Ivies, but even they were super strict about leaving students unsupervised!

If I just wandered into a neighbors house like they do in many sitcoms without knocking and waiting at the door I'd get shot. Even with the neighbors that are my good friends. You just don't walk your ass into any house unless it's yours. I used to live in an apartment building that was basically a 90’s sitcom. Wandering into apartments without knocking, everyone’s fridge is fair game, people could come and go as they pleased, the whole 9 yards. It was a lot to get used to, and really weird to think about now considering I’ve become very private and hermit like since then. Now, there’s a very select few people I even let come in to my house. And only about 3 people who have permission to show up unannounced. Kramer? Is that you?

How are Phoebe (and to a lesser extent Joey) able to spend so much money and time in a coffee shop when they invariably never have a stable income??

I remember they had an episode (2nd season I think) where that was the very issue, but don't think it was ever brought up again, except maybe I think they said Joey borrows a lot from Chandler, Phoebe I don't know... maybe cooks meth?

People gathering in front of electronics stores to watch news footage. First of all, very few electronics stores even have displays of television sets in the windows anymore, let alone set to the same channel. And even if they did, you cant hear what the newscaster is saying since the sets are usually muted (or at least hard to hear through the glass).

This one is more about movies. I've noticed that in several recent superhero films, the climax of it usually takes place at night. Now this isnt true for all films, all 4 Avengers films had their end fight happen in the daytime, same with Man of Steel, but Batman vs Superman, Lego Batman, Suicide Squad, all 3 Iron Man films, Doctor Strange, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man Homecoming, even the first Ant-Man, the main battle takes place at night for some reason.

Piggybacking on taking one bite and leaving a restaurant... When someone gets a can of soda or a bottle of water out of the fridge, takes one sip and just leaves it sitting there. Usually, the character or whole group exits the location soon after. Is this really a thing? At least we know Kramer thought he could get away with drinking half a can of soda. A guy at work does this all the time. We're always finding open soda cans that are about 80% full.

Nobody cares about the unnamed evil henchmen when they get brutally murdered by the protagonist. What about them? What about their families? What about their life insurance plan?

People putting their hands around supposedly hot beverages and taking big gulps from obviously empty cups annoys me a disproportionate amount

Suddenly a fan From out of no where a character reveals they are a big fan of a famous actor/musician(s)/athlete/wrestler etc etc..... coincidentally this guest starring celebrity will happen have their car breakdown right outside the show’s character’s house. Building on this one. Sometimes when a famous singer or band appears in the episode, the main character manages to get the singer or band to perform at their school. You would have to pay them A LOT for that gig. But wait, somehow the main character and the performer develop a bond enough that the singer or band performs there for free.
