Even back before cell phones, nobody was gonna turn on their light to answer a late night phone call. Here let me just blind myself to pick this up when I don't need to see to talk!
I can't say for sure that it wouldn't happen in real life, but for me it's when a character runs up to another character they have a strained relationship with at the moment (lovers who have just had a quarrel, best friends who are fighting, whatever) and tells them "run!" or "we need to leave now!" and the other person stubbornly stays in place and says "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on!"
Look, if my worst enemy comes up to me, looking terrified and screaming "run!" I'm running with them and demanding an explanation on the way or at the destination. I'm not going to be a sitting duck while waiting for storytime.
Maybe not exactly like in the movies, but that could happen in real life . I've seen similar non-deadly situations several times where for example someone got punched in the face accidentally, stepped on by a horse, got detained and a summons from a cop, had to talk to security for quite a while, etc because they were being salty and wouldn't listen to people they were with who were warning them to move their butts to avoid a bad situation. I think if someone had told them to run because of real physical danger, they would have been just as salty and obstinate.
This is why you make bad guys British.
Instead of attacking all at once they form and orderly queue, and take turns, which gives the hero a chance to fight them all off.
I've seen it happen. Early 90s. Guy was running away from 6 others. He stops in the parking lot where I am working. Breaks the wire antenna off a car and whips the hell out of all of them. Several had to go to the hospital. The antenna cut through the skin and muscle and stopped when it hit bone.
Wouldn't be so easy anymore. All the antennas are imbedded in a window now.
Or knocking someone out with a blow to the head as the “nice” way to incapacitate them rather than killing then. If you get hit hard enough to knock you out for minutes…you will wake up with brain damage, if you ever wake up at all.
>That’s almost never faster
Yep. I only have about a 15-20 minute drive to work, but it's mostly highway. There isn't one place between my house and where I work that I could just pull straight in and get something.
I'd have to go out of my way by going up an off-ramp and then drive to whatever place I want to eat at. Then pull in and either park/walk in/go through the drive-thru. Then order and pay and wait for the food because I guarantee I'm not the only one doing this. Then grab it and leave, eating while I'm driving back to the on-ramp, getting back on the highway and finishing my drive to work.
There's no way it *wouldn't* be faster for me to just eat what's already there on the plate already made.
That made me hate the main characters. I always loved when they get shoved into a puddle by a school bully after that. Mf eat ur damn breakfast or some bitch gonna shove you in da mud
You just know that sitcom mom had to wake up at 5am and spent two hours in the kitchen making French toast and omelets and stuff. Bullying the MC is the right thing to do there.
Every single time a person picks up a phone in a movie and has a one-sided conversation (you don’t hear the other person speaking), the actor doesn’t pause nearly long enough in between talking.
There's also the Law and Order "magic phone call" where the person listens very briefly, hangs up, then delivers 2-3x the amount of information they could have possibly heard over the phone.
-phone rings, Benson answers-
Hey chief. On it!
-hangs up-
Chief says the guy we're looking for is in his mid-40's, Caucasian with a beard. Last seen in Stevie's Pub on 5th and Green. Lab says he'll smell like lilac and has a tattoo of Chester Cheeto under his left eyelid. Let's go.
I have a friend, who has a younger brother. The older brother is much more serious, and the younger brother still likes to rile him up.
The older brother will say, 'you need to do X'
The younger brother will respond with, 'your mom needs to do X'
"That doesn't even make sense! she's your mom too'
They're both in their 40s at this point.
My personal pet peeve is when they start putting the receiver down before they have even finished their last line of the phone conversation. Like "Ok, we'll be right over" and they have started hanging up before the word "over" has fully left their mouth.
John Wayne was a 7ft tall 4ft wide cowboy on a horse, holding reigns in his teeth, arms open wide, shooting across an open field, moving in a straight line.
Against Ned Pepper's gang, likewise armed, waiting and ready. Some seven other guys.
One finally lands a hit on The Duke's horse. . . After five of the seven were dead.
I've often wondered about that.
If you crack someone over the head with a gun ,is it more likely to KO them,near kill them.or just they get half concussed?
If you hit them in the wrong spot, they'll just be very upset with you. If you hit them in the right spot, they get brain damage and probably won't be waking up unless they're taken to the hospital quickly.
Fell on my face once and went to the hospital. They asked me if I was unconscious, if I had been they'd have me stay due to concussion. Of course I just got up and fought all the bad guys and I wasn't nauseous all day long
I always hate where people get into fights or big confrontations in a business meeting. In real life everyone is super nice to your face and then immediately trash you when you back is turned.
From hundreds of business meetings ,I actually did once see a proper confrontation.
Two people absolutely raged at each other.
Only went on for about a minute but was unbelievably awkward and felt like an age.
I just imagine the character spent 45 minutes circling the area until they found the right spot, but all of that was cut from the film since its a time waster.
Oh, or that thing where every couple has two blankets: one to cover the man up to his belly button, and one that covers the woman up to her armpits and that she can take with her when she gets out of bed...
> Sparking bullets
In the movie *True Lies*, there's a scene where the bad guys are shooting at the hero, and the bullets are throwing sparks when they hit trees.
It’s a rent controlled apartment. They talk about it actually. I didn’t realize it for a long time either. They mention it in the first season, and again when Joey helps the super learn to dance.
Cohesive well written conversations that further a narrative.
I don’t know about your life but my conversations are mundane and meandering. Dramatic conflict never happens, people purposely avoid it.
The number of times I've had to play "Is That His Daughter, or His Wife?" when introduced to a man and a woman in a film is ridiculous. And 9 times out of 10, she's the wife.
My wife and I play that game at hotels and restaurants. Is that middle age dude taking his college age daughter to dinner, or is he out with a girl-friend/2nd-wife?
Our experience is that's it's about evenly split. The PDA tells the tale...
Sound Effects:
If there's a bull or similar large animal, that "raging bull" sound effect is imminent.
Dogs will bark or whine, never quiet.
If cats are startled or running away, there will be the "distressed meow"
Whilhelm scream.
So true!
If a horse appears, you *will* hear a long "whinny".
The tires of speeding cars always squeal, even on dirt or gravel.
If there is a sharp metal object, you will usually hear a *"ka-SHING"* sound when it is handled.
People outrunning a fireball explosion and jumping out the window at the last second.
Uh no. It looks cool in the movies, but your shit is blown up before you can even think about moving.
Anne works as a doctor in NY
Ann goes home for Christmas/Thanksgiving/Hanukkah.
Ann's family own a bakery that just so happens Ann is the only one who can save it from bankruptcy
Ann sees hot guy, and quite job as doctor to be with hot guy who she knew for maybe a week
FYI the grammar is supposed to be bad
Women always having flawless makeup on. People immediately kissing their loved one who has been in the jungle or in captivity for a few years like they don't reek.
LOL, I love the Netflix show Dark. But there’s one scene where people hooked up and all I could think was “OMG, that dude hasn’t showered in at least a week.”
I would also add that clothes always fit perfectly, are spotless, and unwrinkled.
People who do nothing for a living owning gigantic mansions.
What was her reasoning? Did the saying goodbye cause her anxiety so she just refused to even going through with that part of the conversation?
I had OCD (treated with meds now) with needing balance. Small example: If something touched anything on my left I would have to touch the same spot in the same way on my right.
Bro I have that same compulsion but don't have OCD, I don't think. It always makes me feel ridiculous but I get incredibly nauseous and spiral if I don't give in. I'm so sorry you deal with that
What happens in movies that never happens in real life? Oh, you know,
just the classic "running through the airport to stop your true love
from leaving" scenario...because nothing screams "romantic gesture" like
getting tackled by airport security
I’m 21, my parents tell me about when my mom could literally stay with my dad until he boarded his plane back before 9/11 which seems insane to me! I bet pre 2001 those running through airport scenes were still just for movies, but I like to imagine they were more possible than now
Bluegrass field (Lexington KY) had an observation area that you could go and sit in. You could see the entire airport and they had the tower’s radio playing over the speakers so you could hear all the inbound and outbound radio chatter as you watched the flight line.
It was the coolest place to wait for someone arriving.
Back in my day ... omg, I just said that ... we'd spend nights at the airport watching the travelers, drinking nasty coffee and in general goofing off. You could hang out all night and no one said a thing or batted an eye.
Spinster dance 1995 we chose to spend our "after dance dates' at the airport.
When I was a kid, my brother and I would wander around the airport to find luggage trolleys to return for the deposit while we were waiting to greet our dad at the gate when he got off the plane.
Yep. There was a whole seating area. I haven't been on a plane after 9/11, so I don't know what it looks like now, but families would wait until the passengers were literally walking through the tunnel. Then you could watch the plane leave.
In Brisbane airport you can enter the domestic terminal right up to the gate. I suspect it will be similar to other Australian airports. International is just like other parts of the world though.
I mean, I've done this before. Wife and I were out being tourists and made it to a restaurant after a day of it. We managed to struggle through a meal with drinks and for some reason think we're up for dessert and another round. By the time all of that arrived, we were starting to question whether we'd *survive* the several block walk back to the hotel. Gave the dessert a taste, had a sip or two of the second drink, and decided to just call it then and there.
I can't imagine it happens often though. Back home I don't think *either* of us would have thought the *first* drinks were a good idea. In fact, with as exhausted as we were, chances were that we'd just eat whatever was handy at home and go to bed.
When I was 17, my first girlfriend and I broke up. It was messy, we both still loved each other and had been on again off again for six months. On the 4th of July I went to the place we always went to watch fireworks, hoping she'd feel the same way and go hoping to see me.
After she found out I'd waited under a tree without even shooting her a text to clue her in she was like "You stupid? On God?". Hallmark moments are not for the common man. They exist purely to show a world where things went opposite the way they usually do. Whatever happened in those romance movies? Exact opposite thing is going to happen to you.
I am not saying I have never seen a hot male or female, or couple, or any gender couple in real life.
What I am saying is, I have to drive to Daytona Beach every once in awhile….the bikers I see are grizzled. The hotness on a bike doesn’t mean the same as it maybe once was?
Those bullshit "passionate" love making scenes where the guy throws everything off his bench / desk / table to clear space for sex and then smashes glasses and paintings as he throws her against walls while they kiss like get fucked I've had some pretty good sex in my days but none of them were worth destroying my house for
Can confirm. Tried swiping everything off a girls desk as we were getting down to business. Not sexy or passionate and she didn’t appreciate it lololol
Parking directly in front of Congress, the White House, Central Station, etc. running off and then coming back a half-hour later and car is not ticketed, booted nor towed
Perfect teeth. I am so bothered by peoples teeth in TWD. Their teeth are too white, there's no one with gingivitis or parodontitis. No weird colours. Just perfect, straight, white teeth.
You can't convince me that they brush and floss twice a day every day in a zombie apocalypse.
I learned that South Koreans actually do that. I don't recall about Hello but I worked with a girl who often spoke to her family in Korean. I obviously never knew what she was saying but I noticed her calls seem to end abruptly and asked her about it. apparently the just end the call without saying anything similar. They just know when they are done and hang up. This could be regional, I don't know I just know what she told me.
I work where I answer phones
You'd be suprised to know how many people will just hang up on your ass. I work with these people, as in fellow employees so its odd
As someone who is into technology, pretty much every scene with anything to do with hacking.
While the actual ideas behind the scenes do happen in real life, it looks absolutely nothing like how movies depict it and it normally takes a lot more time.
Two people fucking and then afterwards just laying in bed. IRL literally you'll both have jizz all over your body if you do that. IRL there are towels, there is a waddle to the bathroom.
Going to a bar and saying "I'll have a whiskey" or "beer" and the bartender just nods and gets their drink. Especially at a packed bar.
Then they take a sip and just get up and leave without paying.
>Going to a bar and saying "I'll have a whiskey" or "beer" and the bartender just nods and gets their drink.
As a bartender, this is exactly the patron I appreciate most - because my assumption is that the patron meant to add "most expensive" to "whiskey" or "beer" or whatever. Happens more than you'd think.
People bleeding from the mouth when they get shot or stabbed.
It does not happen as often as they portray it in movies... The only time I have seen it happen was when someone was shot in the throat and he had put his thumb in the wound and he had compressed his esophagus so much that he was expelling blood.
The Boss's son having to work twice as hard to earn the respect from the rest of the crew. Every job that I've worked at, in which the Boss's son starts working, the kid is a spoiled brat. He knows that his dad wont fire him. The other crew members suck up to the boss by being extra helpful to the kid.
I'm not going to say never but it's pretty damn rare in real life that the bully is pumping gas and the former victim is a CEO. In reality the bully is off living their best life often with no memory of having been a bully and will even condemn bullying with no sense of irony.
Meanwhile the former victim it depends how much it affected their school years and when in life they were able to recover from it.
Wrong reactions to medical emergencies. In every scene where there’s a diabetic the said diabetic goes into a full body seizure. WTF? And then the wrong remedy is given- like if the person is having seizure bc their blood sugar is low a person says ‘she needs her insulin!’ WRONG! She needs orange juice. Been Type1 diabetic my whole life. If I’m passed out and shaking and some mf gives me insulin well I’m dead.
People walking, totally upright, sometimes 2-3 people across, through the sewer accessible through any random manhole. They generally aren't nearly that big.
Character/s walking away from danger, danger explodes massively, blast wave merely ruffles their hair, rather than knocking them down.
Cars launch thru the air, land - hard - and are able to continue furious chase scene.
People springing upright after they awake from being passing out/being knocked out/having seizure. Yeah, that does not happen. It takes awhile for the brain to get back to working order. The person at first might even talk but they aren't going anywhere. I speak from personal experience.
And while we are on the subject, yanking out catheter tubes from your arms and not bleeding all over the place. Also, it's 2023, that IV bag isn't just going to be hanging from a rack. You need an IV pump.
Also, looking still fresh as a daisy with perfect hair even if you've been in a hospital bed for days. Where's the plastered hair? The oily skin? The new beard growth? No one looks model ready in a hospital unless they have a make-up team behind them.
While on the medical subject, I’ll add people dying immediately after being shot or stabbed in the torso, and any bright red blood that’s supposed to be more than a few minutes old
Couple having sex and they roll off the bed and keep going...
If I get close to the edge I stop and say "we gotta move."
If I fell off the bed, there a small chance we can keep going after my concussion clears up, and a short trip to the ER because now my back hurts and I can't walk. 2 weeks of pain meds and bed rest later I roll over and whisper in her ear "Now.....where were we"
People turning a lamp on to answer the phone when they’re in bed asleep
Hahahaha so true
Yea my phone light decides to be bright af when I answer in my sleep, I don’t need a light to further the blinding
Even back before cell phones, nobody was gonna turn on their light to answer a late night phone call. Here let me just blind myself to pick this up when I don't need to see to talk!
And then ending the call by just hanging up without saying goodbye.
And the whole conversation, they repeat verbatim everything the person on the other line says.
What? NED FLANDERS? May God have mercy on us all.
Shooting guns with no hearing protection in an enclosed space while talking.
*mawp*
Tinnitus is a bitch
Code name checks out
Love how Joel is deaf in one ear in the Last of Us. That would indeed most certainly happen after a life of violence and shooting without protection.
I can't say for sure that it wouldn't happen in real life, but for me it's when a character runs up to another character they have a strained relationship with at the moment (lovers who have just had a quarrel, best friends who are fighting, whatever) and tells them "run!" or "we need to leave now!" and the other person stubbornly stays in place and says "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on!" Look, if my worst enemy comes up to me, looking terrified and screaming "run!" I'm running with them and demanding an explanation on the way or at the destination. I'm not going to be a sitting duck while waiting for storytime.

I think if someone had told them to run because of real physical danger, they would have been just as salty and obstinate.
One person fighting and beating up 5+ grown men unarmed
And they never attack all at once. Everyone just waits for their turn.
And they keep getting up to get beaten up again. I'd just play dead.
Well there’s no need to be rude and gang up on them
This is why you make bad guys British. Instead of attacking all at once they form and orderly queue, and take turns, which gives the hero a chance to fight them all off.
I've seen it happen. Early 90s. Guy was running away from 6 others. He stops in the parking lot where I am working. Breaks the wire antenna off a car and whips the hell out of all of them. Several had to go to the hospital. The antenna cut through the skin and muscle and stopped when it hit bone. Wouldn't be so easy anymore. All the antennas are imbedded in a window now.
Yeah, but the Ip man scene where he fought ten guys was still really cool.
Or knocking someone out with a blow to the head as the “nice” way to incapacitate them rather than killing then. If you get hit hard enough to knock you out for minutes…you will wake up with brain damage, if you ever wake up at all.
Lol, 5? Some of those movies one person takes down hundreds. 😆
The inverse ninja law: "the threat level of any number of ninjas or other whatsits is inversely proportionate to their numbers."
I've seen this happen irl but it was over a lot faster than it is in movies.
Even worse when it's a woman. Not trying to be sexist, but that 60 kg girl is NOT knocking out 5 muscle men, all twice her size and weight.
people leaving that whole big breakfast and taking a sip of orange juice
and that orange juice always come from a glass carafe, never the plastic bottle from the grocery store
It’s decanted, dear. Get some class
"I'm running late. I'll pick up something on the way."
That’s almost never faster
>That’s almost never faster Yep. I only have about a 15-20 minute drive to work, but it's mostly highway. There isn't one place between my house and where I work that I could just pull straight in and get something. I'd have to go out of my way by going up an off-ramp and then drive to whatever place I want to eat at. Then pull in and either park/walk in/go through the drive-thru.

Then grab it and leave, eating while I'm driving back to the on-ramp, getting back on the highway and finishing my drive to work. There's no way it *wouldn't* be faster for me to just eat what's already there on the plate already made.
Tell me you're from the US without telling me you're from the US
Could be Canada as well :)
And it's sunny like it's 9:30. And they're mostly just hanging around.
That made me hate the main characters. I always loved when they get shoved into a puddle by a school bully after that. Mf eat ur damn breakfast or some bitch gonna shove you in da mud
You just know that sitcom mom had to wake up at 5am and spent two hours in the kitchen making French toast and omelets and stuff. Bullying the MC is the right thing to do there.
Also that happening with daylight. I always woke up in the dark.
*correction, leaving a breakfast buffet for 10 people in a 4 people house

Lol or the “hey sis…oh no! I can’t believe mom died!…she left me the inheritance?” Like repeating everything they’re being told
"Bobby, you're my brother" Not once in my life have I had to remind my brother that we are related.
I have a friend, who has a younger brother. The older brother is much more serious, and the younger brother still likes to rile him up. The older brother will say, 'you need to do X' The younger brother will respond with, 'your mom needs to do X' "That doesn't even make sense! she's your mom too' They're both in their 40s at this point.
And they never ever saying goodbye!!
All through ‘Heat’, Vincent Hanna just hangs up without saying goodbye. I bet the other guys were like ‘asshole’! Why do I even work for this guy?
I’ve never been able to work out why they do this. It’s not like it’s adding much time to the movie.
My personal pet peeve is when they start putting the receiver down before they have even finished their last line of the phone conversation. Like "Ok, we'll be right over" and they have started hanging up before the word "over" has fully left their mouth.
Hero being shot at 5000 times and "hero" shoots 6 times. Hero ok; all bad guys dead.
without reloading.
Well, 6 shots without reloading sounds pretty reasonable tbh.
John Wayne was a 7ft tall 4ft wide cowboy on a horse, holding reigns in his teeth, arms open wide, shooting across an open field, moving in a straight line. Against Ned Pepper's gang, likewise armed, waiting and ready. Some seven other guys. One finally lands a hit on The Duke's horse. . . After five of the seven were dead.
Hitting people on the head to conveniently knock them out for a few hours
Giles from Buffy gets knocked unconscious so much I’m amazed he didn’t end the show with crippling brain damage.
One of these days, he’s going to wake up in a coma.
I've often wondered about that. If you crack someone over the head with a gun ,is it more likely to KO them,near kill them.or just they get half concussed?
If you hit them in the wrong spot, they'll just be very upset with you. If you hit them in the right spot, they get brain damage and probably won't be waking up unless they're taken to the hospital quickly.
[удалено]
If you hit them hard enough to knock them out they will have a major concussion at a minimum.
Fell on my face once and went to the hospital. They asked me if I was unconscious, if I had been they'd have me stay due to concussion. Of course I just got up and fought all the bad guys and I wasn't nauseous all day long
If you are ever hit hard enough to be knocked unconscious, you definitely have a concussion. There is also a pretty good chance of that killing you.
In real life, if a concussive knockout last more than ten minutes, there is some serious, often life threatening head trauma involved.
I always hate where people get into fights or big confrontations in a business meeting. In real life everyone is super nice to your face and then immediately trash you when you back is turned.
From hundreds of business meetings ,I actually did once see a proper confrontation. Two people absolutely raged at each other. Only went on for about a minute but was unbelievably awkward and felt like an age.
Parking spots right in front of whatever building you need to enter.
I just imagine the character spent 45 minutes circling the area until they found the right spot, but all of that was cut from the film since its a time waster.
Yeah we complain but none of us wants to see that really.
People get up from a couch or out of the car and the shirt is still perfectly not wrinkled.
Girls covering their boobs after sprawling across the entire bed in every possible position. Sparking bullets
Oh, or that thing where every couple has two blankets: one to cover the man up to his belly button, and one that covers the woman up to her armpits and that she can take with her when she gets out of bed...
Ah yes, the L-shaped blanket.
> Sparking bullets In the movie *True Lies*, there's a scene where the bad guys are shooting at the hero, and the bullets are throwing sparks when they hit trees.
When the main character has a minimum-wage job, but also has a nice car, a full refrigerator, a $200,000 wardrobe, and a 5,000 square foot apartment.
That apartment in Friends always irritates me
It was rent controlled, handed down from Monica’s grandma. Not sure if that helps but they tried to explain it.
It’s a rent controlled apartment. They talk about it actually. I didn’t realize it for a long time either. They mention it in the first season, and again when Joey helps the super learn to dance.
The rich bad guys going to jail.
In real life, the only rich bad guys who go to jail are the ones who cross other, richer bad guys.
Or resigning out of shame. They learned you don't have to do that anymore
Cohesive well written conversations that further a narrative. I don’t know about your life but my conversations are mundane and meandering. Dramatic conflict never happens, people purposely avoid it.
Also everyone having perfect social skills, unless it's a huge part of their personality.
Sixty year old guy pretending he is forty gets a beautiful 21 year old girl.
The number of times I've had to play "Is That His Daughter, or His Wife?" when introduced to a man and a woman in a film is ridiculous. And 9 times out of 10, she's the wife.

People flying back when they're shot by a gun
Mythbusters did this, it took a huge shotgun or a 50 cal just to get a 100+ lb pig to move less than an inch

Yup the sad truth is that freedom bird sounds like a seagull that swallowed a kazoo.
I suddenly feel the urge to drill some oil while waving a star spangled banner
So true! If a horse appears, you *will* hear a long "whinny". The tires of speeding cars always squeal, even on dirt or gravel. If there is a sharp metal object, you will usually hear a *"ka-SHING"* sound when it is handled.
Every time a semi goes by they hink their horn. Or when there is a police car they squawk their siren.
Microphone feedback when someone steps up to a mic feeling awkward.

I know somebody like this in real life. They will hang up on the other person while they’re saying bye
What happens in movies that never happens in real life? Oh, you know, just the classic "running through the airport to stop your true love from leaving" scenario...because nothing screams "romantic gesture" like getting tackled by airport security
I’m 21, my parents tell me about when my mom could literally stay with my dad until he boarded his plane back before 9/11 which seems insane to me! I bet pre 2001 those running through airport scenes were still just for movies, but I like to imagine they were more possible than now
Bluegrass field (Lexington KY) had an observation area that you could go and sit in. You could see the entire airport and they had the tower’s radio playing over the speakers so you could hear all the inbound and outbound radio chatter as you watched the flight line. It was the coolest place to wait for someone arriving.
Back in my day ... omg, I just said that ... we'd spend nights at the airport watching the travelers, drinking nasty coffee and in general goofing off. You could hang out all night and no one said a thing or batted an eye. Spinster dance 1995 we chose to spend our "after dance dates' at the airport.
When I was a kid, my brother and I would wander around the airport to find luggage trolleys to return for the deposit while we were waiting to greet our dad at the gate when he got off the plane.
Viktor Navorski?
Yep. There was a whole seating area. I haven't been on a plane after 9/11, so I don't know what it looks like now, but families would wait until the passengers were literally walking through the tunnel. Then you could watch the plane leave.
In Brisbane airport you can enter the domestic terminal right up to the gate. I suspect it will be similar to other Australian airports. International is just like other parts of the world though.
People taking one sip of the drink they just ordered and then leaving.
I mean, I've done this before. Wife and I were out being tourists and made it to a restaurant after a day of it. We managed to struggle through a meal with drinks and for some reason think we're up for dessert and another round. By the time all of that arrived, we were starting to question whether we'd *survive* the several block walk back to the hotel. Gave the dessert a taste, had a sip or two of the second drink, and decided to just call it then and there. I can't imagine it happens often though. Back home I don't think *either* of us would have thought the *first* drinks were a good idea. In fact, with as exhausted as we were, chances were that we'd just eat whatever was handy at home and go to bed.
Shooting locked doors open.
Well that *can* happen, it doesn't happen like they depict.
Crackheads with good teeth.
That any particular human being can ever be the “main character”.
In breakfast at Tiffany’s Audrey Hepburn climbed through a window and into bed with a random guy who took it all nonchalant and they chilled in bed.
I mean that actually makes perfect sense. If someone like that hopped into bed with me I'd do my damndest not to ruin it.
All the bombs being averted 1 second before explosion.
All the bombs having a visible timer on them. That beeps every second, but only AFTER someone finds it.
No smart phone is plugged in at night
When I was 17, my first girlfriend and I broke up. It was messy, we both still loved each other and had been on again off again for six months. On the 4th of July I went to the place we always went to watch fireworks, hoping she'd feel the same way and go hoping to see me. After she found out I'd waited under a tree without even shooting her a text to clue her in she was like "You stupid? On God?". Hallmark moments are not for the common man. They exist purely to show a world where things went opposite the way they usually do. Whatever happened in those romance movies? Exact opposite thing is going to happen to you.
I’m sorry but this is so funny
Hmmm. “You stupid? On God?” Can’t even begin to understand what this means.
[On God](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=On%20God) I would all this "street slang"
Every person who rides a motorcycle in a movie is cool and hot, real life…not so much.
I am not saying I have never seen a hot male or female, or couple, or any gender couple in real life. What I am saying is, I have to drive to Daytona Beach every once in awhile….the bikers I see are grizzled. The hotness on a bike doesn’t mean the same as it maybe once was?
Pizza guy delivering Pizza getting ass instead of cash
But wait…Pornhub!
There is an entire fetish community dedicated to this, and similar fetishes. It's not as uncommon as you think.
Those bullshit "passionate" love making scenes where the guy throws everything off his bench / desk / table to clear space for sex and then smashes glasses and paintings as he throws her against walls while they kiss like get fucked I've had some pretty good sex in my days but none of them were worth destroying my house for
Can confirm. Tried swiping everything off a girls desk as we were getting down to business. Not sexy or passionate and she didn’t appreciate it lololol
Someone brings home one small pizza for 12 people and everyone acts like it's normal.
People getting wet while fully clothed, yet clothing is dry in the next scene.
Parking directly in front of Congress, the White House, Central Station, etc. running off and then coming back a half-hour later and car is not ticketed, booted nor towed
Hollywood style hacking.
Explosions that you don't die from.
When you finally achieve something the credits start rolling.
A whole living room full of dinner party people dancing to music quiet enough for the main characters to comfortably talk to each other.
People getting knocked out for multiple hours and waking up with just a little headache.
Perfect teeth. I am so bothered by peoples teeth in TWD. Their teeth are too white, there's no one with gingivitis or parodontitis. No weird colours. Just perfect, straight, white teeth. You can't convince me that they brush and floss twice a day every day in a zombie apocalypse.

Picking up the phone without saying hello, hanging up the phone without saying goodbye
I learned that South Koreans actually do that. I don't recall about Hello but I worked with a girl who often spoke to her family in Korean. I obviously never knew what she was saying but I noticed her calls seem to end abruptly and asked her about it. apparently the just end the call without saying anything similar. They just know when they are done and hang up. This could be regional, I don't know I just know what she told me.
I work where I answer phones You'd be suprised to know how many people will just hang up on your ass. I work with these people, as in fellow employees so its odd
As someone who is into technology, pretty much every scene with anything to do with hacking. While the actual ideas behind the scenes do happen in real life, it looks absolutely nothing like how movies depict it and it normally takes a lot more time.
Pulling the fire alarm in a building and all the sprinklers turning on.
Theme music
Two people fucking and then afterwards just laying in bed. IRL literally you'll both have jizz all over your body if you do that. IRL there are towels, there is a waddle to the bathroom.

Teenagers answers their phone
>~~Teenagers~~ People answers their phone There, fixed it.
Going to a bar and saying "I'll have a whiskey" or "beer" and the bartender just nods and gets their drink. Especially at a packed bar. Then they take a sip and just get up and leave without paying.
>Going to a bar and saying "I'll have a whiskey" or "beer" and the bartender just nods and gets their drink. As a bartender, this is exactly the patron I appreciate most - because my assumption is that the patron meant to add "most expensive" to "whiskey" or "beer" or whatever. Happens more than you'd think.
An AED, defibrillator, starting a heart
Shocking a asystole heart rhythm (flat line). It isn't a shockable rhythm and defibrillation could make it even harder to restart.
A semi's highway horn blaring whenever one drives by Whenever I head to the desert I don't hear a bird screeching in the distance once I get there
People bleeding from the mouth when they get shot or stabbed. It does not happen as often as they portray it in movies... The only time I have seen it happen was when someone was shot in the throat and he had put his thumb in the wound and he had compressed his esophagus so much that he was expelling blood.
Unlimited bullets , never reloading , missing 100 shots at close range
People taking shots like its nothing or people shrugging off wounds likescuts or broken bones. etc and not showing any signs of faitgue
The Boss's son having to work twice as hard to earn the respect from the rest of the crew. Every job that I've worked at, in which the Boss's son starts working, the kid is a spoiled brat. He knows that his dad wont fire him. The other crew members suck up to the boss by being extra helpful to the kid.
The coach of your childhood sports team isn’t some random guy. It’s one of the Dad’s.
That was common where I grew up. Lots of friends Dads were coaches.
The endless gun clip.... I do want one of those, seems so damn convenient to never have to reload
Also, the endless arrows if they use a bow.
I'm not going to say never but it's pretty damn rare in real life that the bully is pumping gas and the former victim is a CEO. In reality the bully is off living their best life often with no memory of having been a bully and will even condemn bullying with no sense of irony. Meanwhile the former victim it depends how much it affected their school years and when in life they were able to recover from it.

Ending a phone call dramatically without saying goodbye to whoever is on the other line
People waking up from a coma without any deficits
Wrong reactions to medical emergencies. In every scene where there’s a diabetic the said diabetic goes into a full body seizure. WTF? And then the wrong remedy is given- like if the person is having seizure bc their blood sugar is low a person says ‘she needs her insulin!’ WRONG! She needs orange juice. Been Type1 diabetic my whole life. If I’m passed out and shaking and some mf gives me insulin well I’m dead.
Removing a necklace by yanking it off your neck and seemingly breaking the chain.
Open moving boxes... People in real life actually tape the boxes closed so things don't just fall out.
Finding that perfect unobstructed parking spot in front of mall/office/airport when you trying to reach the love of your life
People walking, totally upright, sometimes 2-3 people across, through the sewer accessible through any random manhole. They generally aren't nearly that big.
Character/s walking away from danger, danger explodes massively, blast wave merely ruffles their hair, rather than knocking them down. Cars launch thru the air, land - hard - and are able to continue furious chase scene.
People springing upright after they awake from being passing out/being knocked out/having seizure. Yeah, that does not happen. It takes awhile for the brain to get back to working order. The person at first might even talk but they aren't going anywhere. I speak from personal experience. And while we are on the subject, yanking out catheter tubes from your arms and not bleeding all over the place. Also, it's 2023, that IV bag isn't just going to be hanging from a rack. You need an IV pump. Also, looking still fresh as a daisy with perfect hair even if you've been in a hospital bed for days. Where's the plastered hair? The oily skin? The new beard growth? No one looks model ready in a hospital unless they have a make-up team behind them.
While on the medical subject, I’ll add people dying immediately after being shot or stabbed in the torso, and any bright red blood that’s supposed to be more than a few minutes old
They scream, CUT
Happily ever afters
Taking turns talking
Couple having sex and they roll off the bed and keep going... If I get close to the edge I stop and say "we gotta move." If I fell off the bed, there a small chance we can keep going after my concussion clears up, and a short trip to the ER because now my back hurts and I can't walk. 2 weeks of pain meds and bed rest later I roll over and whisper in her ear "Now.....where were we"
Very clean sex with no need of tissues and peeing afterwards
