Have you ever had something happen which seems like something direct from a sitcom?
I'm currently in the pub and a woman started shouting (what sounded like) "it's a fire, it's a fire".
There are a lot of raised heads but no sudden stampede for the doors.
A little girl then comes running up to her, it turns out her daughters name was Safiya.
Don't know if this fits, but many years ago we were approached in a quayside car park by a man who said (I thought) 'Do you have any jam,please?' Mr. K had a different interpretation and replied 'Sorry we don't have any jumblies.' turned out the man was looking for jump leads. WARNING: if you're English and visit Scotland, bring an interpreter.
Ah, how we still laugh about the jumblies.
I did once actually slip on a banana skin and fell full on my arse, oh how I laughed 
And so did everybody else.

Yes indeed they did
Classic moment: during the last minutes of the pause me and my collegues were in the classroom and I started to make an impersonation of our teacher. My friends enjoyed it until they suddenly started to move quickly to their seats. I (maybe drunken with adrenaline) didn't realize why they suddenly "lost interest" and continued to do my act...until the penny dropped. It was this classic "He's standing behind me, isn't he?"-situation. I'm sure he knew what was going on but fortunately he didn't mention.
On another occasion a teacher caught me while I was searching her briefcase for the test results. That was embarrassing too. 
I was waiting for a shuttle bus at Barcelona airport on Sunday, with about 60 other people. The bus arrived, the doors opened, everyone got off, I stepped on first; and then the doors closed and the bus starting pulling away, leaving everyone else looking bemused, and leaving me thinking of that 1972 short Spanish film The Telephone Box*. I don't speak any Catalan, so I ran down the bus trying to attract the driver's attention-but then he suddenly stopped just a few metres down the road, and the doors opened again. He'd just been shifting down a bit, and the doors must have closed automatically. My girlfriend was killing herself with laughter.

Recently, I tried to catch a train in Whitehaven, which pulled off the moment I got to the platform, so me and my Mam decided to try and race it to Barrow in the car (road and rail pretty much mirror each other). On the way, we were held up by everything that could possibly happen in the countryside, including some cows just ambling around on the road.
My mam laughed the whole way wailing "It's just like a sitcom! It's just like a sitcom!"
I had a train to catch and was less amused. 
I once fell through a bar.
And Trigger made a face.
I do, but they are generally in my sitcom.
I was in a robing room once, unpacking my bag for court. Unfortunately, my bag was also doubling up as my overnight bag.
Just as I reached for a large file, my favourite silky Ann Summers bra made a bid for freedom and leapt gracefully from my bag onto the foot of a nearby senior barrister.
