Zip, Zip, Zip - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Robin leaves to get Battleship, Barney thinks they're going to have sex, whips his belt off, and throws it on the floor. When Robin returns, he's neatly folding his pants and draping them over a chair, and his belt is still threaded through the loops. (00:16:20)

Suggested correction: He could have easily done that himself so it was easier to put back on afterwards.

This correction is too much of a stretch. It would make no sense for him to take off the belt and throw it to the ground in the first place. He was alone at that point, so he wasn't doing it to impress anyone and he's been in this position before.

It would be completely illogical to take your belt out from your trouser loops, then put it back in the loops just to fold your trousers up.

Suggested correction: Doesn't mean Lily can't go over and visit for a while. My mother is allergic to cats. She can visit her cat-owning friends for a while, though she would never stay overnight. Pet allergies can be pretty controllable, as long as you're not constantly in contact with the animal.
