I know some continuity errors are just mistakes no one noticed, but I prefer to see them as decisions.

So what's a TV continuity error that gets on your nerves?

Maybe Geoffrey's glass magically refilling itself on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air makes you unreasonably angry.

Or maybe Monica's wrapped-and-unwrapped present on Friends is why you never watch "The One with the Red Sweater."
