* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': In "[=McMystery=]] at [=McDuck=] [=McManor=]!", Mark Beaks hacks into the mansion's security camera and finds footage of Scrooge running into a glass door thinking it was open.

* Several types of insects who follow the light-source (for an example, flies and bees) are known to repeatedly run into glass and they can even starve to death trying to fly through it even if there is an obvious way out of the house.[[hottip:note:This may be paradoxically assisted by some insects' ability to perceive ''polarized'' light better than we do; as polarized sunglasses show, filtering out light that doesn't swing in just the "right" way reduces the glare from reflections, thereby making the already-transparent window glass potentially all but outright ''invisible'' to the unfortunate insect in question.]]
