Once had a F100 ready for pushback. Headset connected, but wasn't working for whatever reason so resorted to hand signals.

Half way through pushback the ramp agent closed the hatch (as there was no need for it to be open with no headset connected, so he thought). Bang, shearpin goes and towbar ends underneath the aircraft almost.
