** In a later episode, where they get in a cab and tell the driver to go to X address: the driver pulls forward about 10 feet and says, "Here we are."

* ''Film/JackieBrown''. Ordell after a ''lot'' of argument gets his criminal associate Beaumont to hide in the trunk of his car, so he can be surprise backup for an arms deal. He assures Beaumont that the trip will only take ten minutes. We then see the car drive up the road, turn the corner and drive onto the adjourning lot where it's pitch dark. Ordell then pops the trunk and puts two bullets into Beaumont.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', Rocko was about to park in a spot in front of the comic book store he worked at, only for it to be taken by none other than his boss, who happened to live ''next door to the store'', forcing Rocko to park further away in a bad neighborhood where his car is stripped. [[NeverMyFault Then his boss has the gall to deride him for being late]]. Fortunately, [[LaserGuidedKarma karma]] bites his boss in the butt later on when his regular parking space becomes a tow away zone.

* ''WebVideo/NotJustBikes'': Several videos point out that there are many places in North America where getting in a car to go less than a block is the only thing the infrastructure is set up for, with walking the distance being dangerous, uncomfortable and involving having to walk through ditches and go an even longer distance around fences and other obstacles.

* [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] in the ''WebVideo/ScreenRantPitchMeetings'' episode on Franchise/SpiderMan's removal from the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse[[note]]A brief financial dispute between Disney and Sony in mid-2019 had left the character's future in the setting unclear before the issue was resolved and ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' was put into production[[/note]]. When the Sony Executive takes the Screenwriter away from the Marvel Studios offices, there's a brief stock footage clip of a plane landing. Immediately afterwards in the Sony offices, the Screenwriter questions why they had to ''take a plane across the street''.

*** 18th Street on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line closed in 1948 due to the opening of an entrance to 23rd Street station at 22nd Street, and an entrance to 14th Street-Union Square at 15th Street.
*** 91st Street on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line closed in 1959 after platform lengthening at 86th Street and 96th Street.
*** The original subway line's southern terminus of City Hall lost passenger service at the end of 1945. It was on the sharp curve of a balloon loop, couldn't be lengthened for the longer trains, and was very close to the Brooklyn Bridge station (which serves both local and express trains, while City Hall only served local trains). As a result, City Hall closed, and Brooklyn Bridge was renamed Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. The station is still intact, on the National Register of Historic Places, and the loop itself is used to turn around 6 trains after they discharge at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall.
*** Worth Street, also on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, closed in 1962 after platform extensions at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall.

* The WashingtonMetro averts this in the suburbs, where there can be gaps of several miles between stops (especially on the Orange and Silver Lines), but it's played straight in central D.C. Most specifically, get on the Red Line at Metro Center and go one stop east to Gallery Place / Chinatown to transition from the Orange, Silver or Blue Lines to the Green and Yellow Lines. You've gone all of less than 1,000 feet. There have been proposals to build a pedestrian corridor here so that people can walk this distance and alleviate crowding.
* The UsefulNotes/NewYorkSubway has taken some efforts to avert this. You can find several stations that were decommissioned as a result of adjacent stations' platforms being lengthened to match current train lengths.

* In airports which use airside buses for boarding, sometimes the ride from the boarding gate to the aircraft (or vice versa) can be extremely short. This is mostly done for safety reasons, in case the aircraft is parked close to the terminal building but not enough for passengers to safely walk across the apron.
