EDIT: If you are wondering why I brought up the turbolifts, look at the ship. The engineering section is in between the nacelles, not attached to the saucer.

Didn’t this happen in at least TNG and VOY?
… I’m struggling to recall the episode names and numbers though. Spent too long trying to memorise the rules of acquisition. Not enough time memorising trek episodes.
Maybe ENT too? And DS9 even? Wait, has every Trek had an episode like that? Cheap to churn out. The captain steps out of the turbolift, “this is not engineering”, steps back in. Sci-fi accomplished.
Or maybe my shoddy memory’s imagining it.
I think Reg Barclay (or someone) may have stepped off the turbolift at the wrong location at least once too. Probably too distracted by some social anxiety mountain-out-of-a-molehill to notice the location noted on the LCARS panel.
TNG had an episode where the computer is having problems making the doors do weird shit, or voice commands getting incorrectly parsed and what not, and IIRC it took Picard somewhere other than the bridge a few times, while Voyager was the spacefolding thing and the solution to get out of the problem was to just… Let it happen and pass through it while they are all holding each other scared shitless in the cafeteria.
