      Although it should be obvious with every weapon in the game with ammo boxes lying though.

Older mimics could have seen the humans putting sticky rectangles with markings on them, and the humans not being wary around these flimsy rectangles with markings, and so copied them

    I actually have some funny evil door stories from D&D. In one campaign, we had a paladin die to a door mimic, and when we got a level twenty cleric to resurrect him, they told him not to die a dumb way again. He then proceeds to nearly bash his skull in less then a day later tripping over his own feet. There's a running bet in the party that he's going to die again to tripping and falling, or something equally embarrassing. The second story is from a recent dungeon crawl I did with my siblings. My little brother was a rogue, and while the doors weren't mimics they were trapped to high heaven, and his perception checks were bad enough that he kept missing them. About halfway through the dungeon, his character becomes paranoid that the doors are out to get him, so the rest of us have to either try unlocking the doors with his thieve's tools, or just bust them down, which is made much harder when we come across the metal doors. We've left the dungeon, but his character now has a permanent fear of doors that has kind of become a running joke for our group.

    The chest's in Borderlands. They're all great, just 1 button press and they open and give you that lovely loot, ammo, guns, nades, shields.
    All through the game the chests are always great and give lovely loot.
    Aside from the occasional one that betrays you by only giving you Common Items, but it is randomised so it'll happen, and they make up for it by giving you great Rare loot sometimes.
    Then you get to Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.
    All the chests look like proper fantasy ones, this is cool you think as you throw open a chest, or spend Elerium to roll d20's to open the chest.
    You get to a certain room with 3 Chest's in it. Cool, you think, i just got through a nails boss fight. I was only expecting 2 chests since that's the standard, but hey, this is Tiny Tina's game, i'm not arguing.
    Open 1 chest, get a cool Fireball grenade, go to the 2nd one, pretty good loot, not as good as what you currently have though, still good money when you get to the next vender. Then the final chest, what loot will you have for me oh final 3rd chest.
    Fully jumped out of my chair when the damn chest started attacking me.
    I shot every chest i found after that.

      Or even rolling a 1 on a Tina chest. I still get PTSD from my Borderlands 2 gambling addiction at Moxxi's every time I get a critical fail on one of them things.

    Rule #1 of adventuring! Stab every chest before attempting to open it! ....or was that always check for traps.... No, I'm certain it's stab!

    That one ‘save point’ inside the True Lab from Undertale. Just a regular old save point. Nothing horrifyingly disturbing here.

    A chill video about everyday mundane objects in video games that are completely harmless? Whew, guess I can relax and unwind for this video as there will be absolutely nothing scary scary or threatening within it whatsoever.
    Later-
    Oh come on guys, did you really have to make the VIDEO a mimic? I most certainly didn't expect that!DX

    Good old Spoony taught me that in Ultima 3 the floor is your enemy. In another area even the grass will try to kill you. Not an animated plant monster or a giant venus flytrap, just the grass.

    Power Up. Super Metroid. The Chozo helpfully created power ups for Samus's suit. These are often held cradled in the hands of a Chozo statue. All you need to do is take it. ...well? Go on...take it...

    Bit of an throwback but what about the Dragon in Perfect Dark?
    You'd be running around in multiplayer, looking for a gun and see a Dragon, just lying there.
    You'd run over to it, only to discover it was a proximity mine. The Dragon's alternate fire mode.
    Ruthless.
