People Are Exposing The Totally Unrealistic Behaviors Of TV Or Movie Characters In Funny Tweets (40 Pics)
When you think about it, TV Land is such a weird place. Characters never seem to finish their meals (and leave most of their food untouched in cafes which hurts me on a personal level), they don’t say ‘goodbye’ when they end their calls, and whenever they switch on the TV, there’s always a news segment on that’s relevant to their situation.
Really, life seems much more convenient on-screen. But it is raising some eyebrows. So much so that the people over on Twitter are posting example after example of how bizarre life is when you’re a film or TV character. Scroll down to check out these funny quirks and remember to upvote the ones that made you pause for a moment.
Pop culture and entertainment expert Mike Sington, who is a former Senior Executive at NBCUniversal, explained to Bored Panda that unrealistic scenarios and acting decisions are required to keep the plot moving on a TV show. "No one wants to see characters eat a full meal, that would bring a storyline to a screeching halt! Things like seeing a relevant news segment playing can immediately fast forward a storyline or emphasize a plot point. It’s a common tool that writers use," he said. And we fully agree. (Though the Joey Tribbiani in all of us is wondering how good the meal has to be to get featured from start to finish.)

Load More Replies...... and I can look away from the road for prolonged periods and not stop for or run a red light, have to avoid cyclists or pedestrians and never swerve out of my lane.
The other option would be a 3 hour movie of us watching someone desperately searching for a parking spot and than walking for 10 minutes to the building. Also not fun.
Is it strange that I really want to see that movie?
Load More Replies...I remember having to circle the block 70 times because I had something reasonably big to carry into a building, and I didn't want to park far away... thing was, it was a bit of a sketchy neighborhood, and for some reason the ladies standing on the street corners started waving at me when they noticed that I was driving by repeatedly.
Well, that's at least justifiable, I doubt anyone would like to see a 30-minute scene where a person just drives in circles trying to find a parking spot.
Some of the worst accidents are on country roads because people speed and get complacent.
Load More Replies...And I don’t ever crash unless I’m the bad guy or I need more emotional scarring
This always makes me tense up, anticipating a crash even though it never happens
It sets off my anxiety when I see this - I know it's faked, but I still can't stand it.
The passenger won't have a horrified expression as I'm about to crash into that semi right in front of us.
It’s the tablecloth that annoys me... we never use tablecloths except at Christmas
Maybe this is a parent of young child thing, we always have a tablecloth down so that our toddler doesn't ruin the wooden table top with spilt juice.
Load More Replies...I hate shows/movies in which the characters are pushing food around their plates, constantly cutting it but never ever chewing/eating it. I think it's the most egregious on the Big Bang Theory. They have a five minute conversation over a meal and never take a bite. I know it's tv and there are multiple takes and they have their figures to maintain, but use a spit bucket or something. Once you notice it, you will be distracted from anything the characters are saying!
The food isn’t always real food. Some of it is but then the hot lights can make it unpalatable. It isn't always safe to eat it.
Load More Replies...Not only that....they always have a huge pile of beautiful fresh bagels on a plate in the kitchen.
Mike was brutal but honest in his evaluation of how much excitement there is any single one of our lives. "I’d estimate 80% of your real life would have to edited or rewritten to make it compelling and interesting to watch on screen. That may sound harsh because your real life is interesting to you, but probably not so much to a mass audience."
He added: "Deep down you know it because you’re only posting the highlights on social media. You’re actually already self-editing your own life for your audience."
Also, it starts running directly on its own and I have all the programs I need to look at it.

How hard is it for people to understand the USB stick? The side with the holes? That's the side you stick in the USB port where the largest space is. It's not rocket science.
But the symbol is only on one side (Apple their logo on other side, often). And they do look different. It's really not that hard... It's strange all baddies trained this, granted, but it's not a magical skill. I'd think anyone using USB A/B more than twice a day to have figured this out; like the fuel side to any rented car you learn to look at the dashboard logo.
Load More Replies...Let's talk about those people who walk away from explosion...with no consequences
Load More Replies...Upvote this. B/c concussions are real, and you can be vomiting and off-balance and uanble to function for weeks after a severe one, assuming it didn't cause a bleed in your brain. this, and gunshots to shoulders, are my medical peeves in movies.
Or in a TV series, it happens to them regularly, yet they continue in their line of work as if they're not at risk of death next time it happens.
And some how I can avenge the guy who’s about to kill the other character as if I was giving an adrenaline shot in the background
Only if you're the protagonist. If you're the random bad guy, you're out cold for the rest of the movie.
My impeccably tailored designer clothes, which are kept in the enormous walk-in closet in my spacious apartment, to be precise.
Load More Replies...I notice this more and more. I’ve grown to appreciate movies that are realistic not attempting to be appealing and over the top. A barista doesn’t have a freaking 2 story house. A janitor doesn’t live in a mansion. Where do they get their ideas from? I guess when you’re rich only living rich is the only thing real to them.
In New York City. I've seen the real life prices. Holy crap. A 600 sq foot apartment there, to buy, costs the same as a huge house where I live in the Inland Northwest.
I mean to be fair, they're also living with the camera crew. There's no way you could film anything with serious camera kit in my house. birthdays are filmed on a phone from in the hall
And the apartment is always within a block of two of my workplace, all my neighbors are my friends, and I have all the storage space I could ever want.
Thank you for pointing out this one, at some point I was convinced I was way too poor
We rarely think about how peculiar people act in movies and on TV shows because we’re so used to things that we don’t notice the discrepancies between their behavior and our lives. In other words, we’ve fully absorbed the weirdness and we’re no longer bothered by it… unless somebody on social media reminds us of it.
The trend seems to have been started by Tom Cox, a British author who was born in Nottinghamshire. He has published nearly a dozen books so far and plans to release 2 more in 2021. Some of the themes that he repeats in his books have to do with cats, golf, folklore, wildlife, local history, rock, and rambling.
That was practically my mom. She was still in the waiting area to be admitted after driving to the hospital by herself when the pushing contractions started and with the fourth contraction my little brother was born. Except he was a real newborn ;)
My SIL had her three babies very quickly, but the second one came so fast that the tub (she wanted a water birth) wasn't even set up yet. We always joke that her daughter figured that 9 months in water was plenty and she wasn't going to do more. It fits with the kid's personality, she was born strong-willed.
Load More Replies...I mean ik somone that got there nails done before she gave birth
Load More Replies...Well, these days there always seems to be the obligatory cutting the cord scene... on UK telly most babies seem to be smeared with stuff to make them look a bit more 'just born'.
Load More Replies...To be fair, it’s considered too dangerous to use a newborn on a film or TV set. I think the youngest they can go is three or four months.
Load More Replies...Oh and so are you . No bloody sheets no bloody nighty , and crease free sheets too . I like this Labour
And my labour will always, always, always start with my waters breaking out of the blue, even though that is rare in first time mothers. Really rare.
Well they can hardly get a newborn baby, to be fair. They also likely avoid the blood to keep the movie’s maturity rating lower. Plus, who has time to sit there for over 24 hours in some cases to wait for a baby to be born in a movie?
I always wondered about this. When I was still in school (every school), the teachers would decide when it was time to leave the classroom. Bell or no bell.
That’s ridiculous! We had 5 minutes between bells (end of one class, beginning of the next). If teachers kept us late we definitely wouldn’t have time to get to lockers or to our next class, and forget about hitting the bathroom! The bell signals the end and beginning of class regardless of a teacher’s power trip.
Load More Replies...The planning of teachers is *so* appalling in dramas. Any and all teachers will have paced their lesson so that they have finished everything with a few minutes to spare. No experienced teacher would be in the middle of explaining something important that the pupils need to know when the lesson ended. Also, and I don't know if this is an American thing, but in the UK pupils do not get up and walk out the lesson when the bell goes, whatever the teacher is saying or doing.
In the UK also. We always had to wait for the teacher to say we were done. We were never kept waiting so that we were late for class or anything (only the naughty kids were kept behind). It was just considered polite, a courtesy. There was always enough time to get between classes, visit lockers etc.
Load More Replies...I've never known a test you could take with you. "I don't care if you're not done. Put those papers in the bin here or you don't leave this room!" And yes, the teacher decided when the students left.
I'm always amused by the fact that the lessons are about 2 minutes long before the bell goes off
And the students all leap to their feet and start leaving the classroom, thus forcing my shouting at them about wanting their test papers.
You sure? The captain of the football team is d. ick and has a poor understanding of the word 'consent'
Load More Replies...Hello, i am a nerdy middle school girl, who during quarantine stopped wearing her glasses and let her hair down. I'm still ugly :) (but also i don't really care soo)
I've often thought those of us not as physically attractive are actually better off. Often, the really pretty people are taught to rely a little too much on their looks. There have actually been studies showing that they are often more likely to be chosen for jobs, clubs, etc. When your looks are your main selling point, it seems it sets you up for insecurity, not to mention what happens when/if those looks leave. And I've seen a few beautiful teens, whose looks were gone by mid twenties, and it really made me sad what they went through. I say this as someone who looks pretty darn good if I take the time for hair and makeup, which I have no patience for.
Load More Replies...They can be but a lot of the time, kids just start off blank (not nerds, not cool kids, not jocks or scrubs or stoners or nerds or geeks etc), and their looks determine what category other kids will push them into. Maybe a cool kid likes video games and science like a nerd, but they are attractive so the cool kids let them hang. Maybe a nerd really likes watching hockey and making tictocs but they’re not conventionally attractive so the other kids just push them to the nerd category. It happens like that in many places. They sort themselves based on looks. It’s really more of a rural thing, maybe a thing of the past too. Kids today are nicer and have a wider range of interests. Same for city kids.
Load More Replies...Yup, it's always like this. So no chances for me. I need my glasses and my hair is short...
Glasses highlight the eyes - like a frame on a portrait.
Load More Replies...I hate that glasses part and always have. Ugly? Just remove your glasses and BOOM you are pretty. What a crappy message to send to all the glasses wearers out there. Talk about your discrimination messages.
I am always bothered by this! If someone was to do this to me I would smack them because I'm already beautiful (so is everyone with glasses) and you don't take a person's glasses off. They wear glasses for a reason!
They mean more the trope of the person taking off their own glasses and letting their own hair down, giving their head a small shake and the stunned man watching cries 'why Miss Jones, you're beautiful'. (Man must need his own glasses and a brain transplant to have not realised before.) As for anyone taking off someone else's glasses? Big nope. You wouldn't think it okay to take off someone else's shoe suddenly. Hands off the body and hands off anything on the body!
Load More Replies...Tom’s thread, which he started on the 26th of February, got over 15k likes and soon spread like wildfire. In fact, if you’ve been browsing Twitter this weekend, you might have noticed at least one or two people sharing the weird things that characters tend to do that befuddle us.
However, there are plenty of good reasons why movies and shows are so far removed from our daily lives. In brief, living as a human being is… quite ordinary. There’s lots of downtime. Lots of unscheduled pee breaks that get in the way of dramatic moments. And plenty of dullness without anything exciting happening.
Bathroom straight after waking up for me. I always thought that was normal.
Of course that's normal, that's why they don't do it in movies and tv, they're medical marvels
Load More Replies...I envy anyone who can hold their pee all night. I have an overactive bladder so I’m lucky to get 3 hours of sleep before I wake to go
I often wake up needing to pee really bad about half an hour before my alarm goes off. I hate it, because it feels so futile to go back to bed for 25 minutes, but I don't need an extra 25 mins in the morning to sit on my a**e and wish I was still in bed.
And my hair and makeup are still perfectly in place, and my breath won't gag a goat.
A lot of ppl on here are drinking/eating way too much too close to bed time
"Meet you later".... OK. When is later? Where is it? Especially before texting, there was no way to explain this.
Or I say I'll call you later but you never actually take the time to give me your phone number.
I'm guessing the other can see the camera crew from afar so space isn't needed...
I would harm anyone who kept me from the toilet and make them clean up the mess!
Also, I say "Lock the doors and don't open them to anyone" and when they ask why I'll say "I'll explain it later" and that person is totally cool with that instead of calling the police.
That or they will bombard the person with questions that they clearly have no time to answer instead of picking up on their sense of urgency and doing what is needed! I'm often shouting 'stop asking questions and just do it you fool' at the telly.
Load More Replies...classic! either that, they're choking on their blood and can't speak or text or battery runs out!
......or I confront the bad guy by myself. Tell said bad guy I'm going to the police, and get myself killed.
I always leave all of the lights off when confronted by an unknown intruder in the dark of night. It makes it more fun to imagine what this person looks like.
Also I am a villain. The police or detectives or whatever have left the room and I immediately phone my co conspirators. The law hasn't learnt to hang around a bit yet.
Or the star tells some one to stay put but as soon as the star leaves the person decides to go out ...
YESSSSS, ohmigod this pisses me off! Leaving a message "I have something important to tell you! But I'm not going to tell you what it is!"
And the person always waits to come over the next morning, giving the killer lots of time to finish the deed first.
This is one of the most annoying. That and people simply not telling others things that people in real life would never omit to tell.
That’s why it’s so important to edit real life into something that’s fit for watching. Sure, there will always be some people who have the patience to watch paint dry/somebody working in their cubicle all day long only to go back home, microwave their dinner, and play video games. However, it doesn’t make for riveting TV for the vast majority of us.
By editing out inconveniences like needing to eat full meals (and the guilt of leaving so much food behind, as well as wasting food), showing people working and doing ordinary stuff like washing the dishes, scriptwriters, directors, and actors can get to the most exciting and interesting tidbits. The meat of things, so to speak. (Halloumi if you’re vegetarian, lettuce if you’re vegan.)
Just wondering : is it a typical American thing to have front doors that can be opened from the outside when not locked ? Where I'm from, you always need a key to open the front door, locked or not.
A few Americans keep their doors unlocked, but many more know better than that despite the way the media portrays us. I'm tired of having to see people think that Americans are 400 pound stupid hippos that steal and are bad. Some of it is true, but a lot of us simply live among idiots.
Load More Replies...And if you live in a apartment the door will be wood and not the tougher to break into metal. Even in a bad neighborhood. I live in NY. The door to my apartment has always been metal.
I live in a city in a high rise too, also have a metal door.
Load More Replies...especially in horror movies or where someone is murdering everyone you know
In which case, make sure you never turn the lights on.
Load More Replies...I live in Queensland, where, mostly it is quite warm. We seldom close or lock our front door, just the screen door
I'm old enough to remember when nobody locked the front door in my small town. Then I moved to a village and locked the door at night but not during the day, until a little old lady with mental problems walked in and demanded I call her family. Since I had no idea who she was, I asked for a number, to which she replied, "Don't be silly! You know who they are!" I was trying to think of a tactful way to handle her when her mortified grandson showed up and also just walked in to hustle her out with much apologies. After that I decided to at least lock the screen door. My sis said she had a couple of kids that were suspected of helping their parents in criminal activities demand to come in and use our bathroom. My sis told them to get up the block to their own house. If we didn't have the screen door locked, they could have walked right in since she was in her room at the end of the house. Sad.
I am in a film. I have been threatened. My life is in danger. I get home. The door is slightly ajar. I go in yelling out is anyone there and don't even switch the light on.
It kinda is. The thing is, you'll have a hard time finding cheaper hotels with a good view anywhere in Paris.
Load More Replies...How else would we know you’re in Paris? It’s not Paris unless the Eiffel Tower is there.
When you visit San Francisco, the Golden Gate will visible from any point in the city.
The Elizabeth Tower must be shown! Or as many think of it 'Big Ben'.
Load More Replies...And in NYC, there is always Central Park or one of the other landmarks.
That's actually one of the things I've, long ago, come up when thinking about those "what would you do if you were granted three wishes? Instead of "a million dollars" or whatever, I'd go for "always one dollar more than I need for whatever I want to buy in my pocket".
Load More Replies...To me, the most amazing thing is not the perfect amount, it's the having the cash in there in the first place.
Just had the same thought... I never see anyone in movies whip out a card or Apple Pay, but I can't remember the last time I even witnessed someone pay for something in cash
Load More Replies...And when they are at a bar, they just randomly throw a pile of banknotes, which is always the right amount.
Only in America. Most other countries have currency notes easily identified by size and colour.
Australian money is coloured different for each nomination, which does make it easier. I have always wondered how Americans can dig out a $20 note without really looking. And it's always 'keep the change' even when the fare is only $11.
It probably won’t surprise you to learn that audiences tend to have very short attention spans. Digital Information World explains that back in 2000 we had an average attention span of 12 seconds. In 2015, this dropped to just over 8 seconds. Research has shown that our attention spans are dropping.
The media we consume changes how attentive we are which in turn changes the media even more. In a fast-paced world, there’s no time for patience, no place for slow storylines and buildup, and especially no room for boring things that regular people do in real life that would mess with the fast pace of the story.
Haha, yes, and I'm always like "Why doesn't he/she just tell... ah, it's a movie..."
And the other character never gets an explanation either, even after the main character is done performing whatever repentance/sentence/groveling they need to to make up for the act/crime that they never committed in the first place and the movie has reached its happily ever after, there's never a conversation about "so yeah, you blamed me the whole time but guess what?" They just magically move on and forget...
Load More Replies...It is more because the other character is too stubborn and stupid to listen.
I hate movies where the plot relies entirely on all the participants being complete idiots!
Loved a scene in a J D Robb book where her husband's old flame was seen on the news in a rather intimate pose with the husband. Wife gets pity and sympathy from coworkers, goes to oldest friend's place to get drunk. But friend is reformed con artist and after seeing video, points out that it was obviously staged by gal. Wife goes home, catches gal in clinch with hubby, cold c***s the gal, and then cold c***s hubby as well. "I was trying to push her away!" he complains. "I know," wife says.
The 'misunderstood' breakups in romantic comedies are annoying and always resolved by chasing a plane , or train as it's taking off .
It amazes me how many desperate situations could be avoided in Coronation Street if people would just tell the truth. Also if people wouldn't walk off having heard half of a conversation and come to the wrong conclusion.
Empty yet heavy suitcases or boxes. C'mon props department, put *something* in them.
Or stir the coffee/tea. You see people in movies, get their coffee, add sugar or cream or whatever and start drinking immediately. WHY DO YOU NOT STIR THAT UP? WHAT IS THE POINT IF YOU DON'T STIR IT?
Or the person in a movie who doesn't need to hold a cup of hot coffee/tea by the handle ...
That's what gets me. Person 1 makes a hot drink and hands it to person 2. Person 2 takes hold of it by the body of the cup, even tho it's just been made with boiling water.
Load More Replies...Do directors realize that an empty cup makes a completely different sound when it is set down, versus a cup with something in it?
Also, simply walk away after giving a snippet of information. "You should talk to X, I can't say anymore, I already said too much"
Also, stop whatever you're doing and wipe your hands on a rag for too long while you're talking to the cops
Load More Replies...And I will be sullen and uncooperative, especially if I am innocent, causing the police to follow the red herring, giving the murderer an opportunity to repeat his deed (at least once).
OMG! Yes! I never understood that. Happens all the time in movies and drives me crazy!!!
In an episode of Law & Order: SVU, there was a child who was kidnapped and the detectives who visited a bakery where a sex offender parolee worked mentioned to him that if he was innocent, he would have stopped kneading the bread dough he was working on. The caveat was that he couldn't stop kneading it until the timer went off, and he wasn't surprised because whenever something like that happens in his neighborhood he would automatically be a suspect because of his criminal history, on or off parole. Turns out, in this instance, he was innocent of any wrongdoing.
They came to my job and took me downtown for questioning and returned me hours later to a perplexed looking supervisor.
Cops approach a suspect and ask their name *while still some distance away*, giving the suspect the opportunity to take off running.
However, even though our attention spans might be decreasing, it’s not just that. They’re being fractured as well. One screen isn’t enough for us anymore. A recent Total Audience Report that was conducted in 2018 by Nielsen showed that a whopping 88 percent of adults living in the US used their digital devices while watching TV either rarely, occasionally, or frequently.
Well, cops think they should live that way for real, from what I understand. So.... Yeah. Not good.
Load More Replies......AND you find the love of your life who is the complete opposite of you while doing it.
Not so much in the UK dramas... we had Morse but he didn't break the rules. Line of Duty is about catching those who aren't following the rules... so there's that I suppose.

And after I shoot somebody or even fire my weapon, I never have to go on admin leave, losing custody of my weapon temporarily in the process, and face a board to determine whether I behaved appropriately. Nope, I can just go straight out and shoot the *next* person!
I'm from America and yes, that is exactly how the police here are, and they can also murder innocent people with little to no consequences.
Load More Replies...I am a person in a film. I am a good guy. I have a revolver. The bad guy has a machine gun which he sprays all over directly towards me. I shoot him, he misses me completely.
If U get involved in a car pursuit, and U happen to be in the car in front, never mind the heavy guns shooting, it'll blow your rear window but of the hundreds of projectiles shoot at U, not even one will come close to hit unless u're the bad guy in final scene.
Yep, every other victim - one shot or stab to the chest, and they're finished. The hero comes along? Long conversation and drawn-out murder method to give them plenty of time to escape.
I always imagine killers really doing this since they’re usually narcissistic and don’t fear capture. I’m sure I’m wrong though. Luckily I’ve never been in that situation and hopefully it stays that way
I loved that pointed out in "The Incredibles" where the bad guy suddenly shouts "You've got me monologuing!"
Even though that criminal mastermind has killed a lot of other people without a word of explanation......
I rarely say goodbye. Instead I usually say "love you" for family or "have a nice day" for business. It is just something I do without thinking about it.
That's a better version of saying goodbye, thank you for not being a movie character. Have a nice day Sir Brivid :)
Load More Replies...and I never need a break longer than half a second to listen what the person has to tell me.
Yep, that one annoys me. That and a character rings the doorbell and the door is answered immediately. No need to wait for the person to stop what they're doing and walk through the house to the door. Noooo.. they were clearly loitering behind the door just in case anyone happened to pop by.
Load More Replies...My French husband has seen this so many times in U.S. tv and films that I can’t convince him it doesn’t happen all the time in real life. And he always finishes the conversation for the characters: “Talk to you later, buddy.” “Goodbye.”
Lmao! That would be so funny to me, your husband has a cool sense of humor.
Load More Replies...I work in a university and sometimes when students call for info, this is exactly how they end the conversation. not even a thank you, just "click". really grates on me.
When I first met my husband he would do that, and it drove me CRAZY. It took years, but I finally taught him to at least say he was hanging up, instead of me responding to him only to realize that I'm speaking to dead air...
I usually say bye and then we keep talking for a bit and then hang up
When I text someone important to me I've known for several years such as my best friend, my family, or my spouse, it's always the first message I've ever sent or received from that person
That means that a single screen is no longer enough to please viewers who are busy googling stuff related to what they’re watching, posting their thoughts about what’s happening on social media, or discussing the show with their friends. It’s a different form of engagement that doesn’t necessarily mean having your audience’s eyes glued to one screen.
No, no, no the batteries that are fine until that moment when....
Load More Replies...And I always yell hello, like the killer’s going to answer “Yeah, I’m here. Want a sandwich?”
Whilst wearing high heels and stylish outfit! Or pajamas and fuzzy slippers! (See also: End up in a cornfield in any given horror movie, but looking at "Texas Chainsaw" here.)
It always amaizes me the places a corn field will crop up. (Sorry, couldn't resist) Seriously though they are everywhere!
Load More Replies...You have to be white and carry a flashlight. No other race or nationality does this.
That's cause they know better. Almost every African American comedian has covered this
Load More Replies...and don't ever forget taking something really loud, so that when the noise stops, something has happened.
Once, just once, I want that trope person to turn around at a critical moment and say, "How are you even able to breathe by yourself? Get a grip!"
Let’s be inclusive but let the minority be a extremely minor character with no arc, but you cant be mad bc we included.
That's why I love Harry Potter. There are three individual persons who manage to live together and go on with the things they are supposed to do. But Three Individuals. More realistic than much other movies I think...
... and I will casually die before the end of the movie, saving his life, or being the last victim of the killer which will urge the hero to actually do something.
Nor do I have any other friends, and my employer is very understanding when I just drop everything to do any of the aforementioned
Load More Replies...Rule #1 - If you wanna make a white character cooler, ya gotta give him a black friend
...and the TV always shows you *exactly* whatever critical information you need to know.
And that’s if the people on our tvs ever watch tv at all. I always wonder what kind of shows the people might watch in that fictional world, too.
well where else am I going to get my news? It's the only place I see a TV on.
Something else that we rarely think about (unless you’re a pro in the field) is how strangely people talk. When you’re chatting to someone (masked) face to (masked) face, everything sounds great. But if you happen to record or film the conversation, you might find a different side to the tale: the way that we speak in real life is often disorganized, broken, and unclear.
And always on some obscure instant message platform, nothing anyone has ever seen.
To be fair they cannot use standard applications or platforms due to copyright and often have prop apps, search engines and message apps
To be fair, I delete all text messages out of habit unless it contains important information.
I tend to clear messages/calls that I've answered, so that doesn't seem all that strange to me.
...And I get phone calls with no caller ID and am unaware of the number, but it is often a close friend or family member with whom I am in frequent contact.
If the creepy guy has an iphone you can be sure he is a good guy, because Apple dont allow to the bad boys to have iphone in the movies. :D
oh my gosh! always! i thought i was the only one who thought this was weird!!
Some people delete conversations with the closest person to them because of the inappropriate pictures and texts we don’t want everyone to see in case they take a glance.
That implies they aren't aware of the muzzle energy of their particular firearm. For instance .38 Long Colt likely wouldn't come out the other side of their head. By comparison, 9mm Luger would have the aforementioned effects.
yikes... I don't want to know how you know that

Or when they toss the empty gun aside and then stumble upon another, fully loaded weapon, and so on...
Load More Replies...And professional hitmen with automatic weapons never pick up the shellcasings. Saw a killer catch them in napkin in his hand in an anime and It blew my mind.
And although I have a ranged weapon, I always move forward into arm's reach so that the hostage can grab the gun or bat it away faster than a speeding bullet.
Just wondering, if you I'm from the UK and in America do you carry around a gun everywhere? Like even to the shops
Ummm no. First of all you have to have a concealed carry permit. And even then my family only brings a weapon if we're going somewhere potentially dangerous. Luckily though we've never been given a reason to use them. So no, we don't bring weapons to everyday places like the store. I can't speak for everyone as I live in a fairly safe place but that's my answer.
Load More Replies...That’s why scriptwriters have no other choice than to write dialogue that people can actually understand. Sure, not many people speak this way IRL, but we have to think of what’s best for the audience. Do you want to listen to a guy or gal ramble on for 10 minutes or do you want a confident protagonist who enunciates well, argues well, and drops snappy one-liners?
and you will be an expert in pathology, fingerprints, and ballistics

THIS! (Looking at you, all vresions of CSI.) Reality? Lab nerds are lab nerds. Often they work for companies that contract the work, so police don't have to have their own forensics units for analysis, only for collection.
But when examining evidence, like fingerprints, you need the lead investigator to tell you to ‘run the prints’. You had no idea what to do with them, obviously...
Oh my gosh this!! My forensics teacher last trimester showed us episodes of CSI to teach us the inaccuracies
I want to hear the exchange: "But I'm a pathologist!" "Right now, you're a human shield."
And you will have the advanced technology to get a perfect fingerprint/DNA match from the tiniest bit of evidence, and identify the killer, all in only 10-15 seconds.
And don't forget to victoriously announce: I'm in!' when you discover the password.
and lets not leave out the genius who is able to read and comprehend each of those characters
That's only because the developer left debug mode on. And if they turned it off, you'd have nothing to look at to know it was working.

Doesn't really matter if you've been somewhere before or not, "North" is still the same direction, as long as you know which way "North" is, you'll be fine.
Fair is fair, I was raised from early toddlerhood to tell directions without a compass with fair enough accuracy that if I'm told to "head north", I will take a glance around, and head north. So, y'know, all those people in the movies had my dad, too.
My husband always knows where north is, he's like a compass. Also if the sun is out you can tell easily.
Indeed. Or anything in the sky whatsoever. For instance, it's trivially easy to locate Polaris.
Load More Replies...Sorry, it’s nighttime, it’s cloudy, and I forgot my f*****g compass.
I constantly got lost going home when we first moved to San Diego. Point Loma is on a peninsula (hence "Point") which meant the ocean was on BOTH sides of the house. I am normally the most geographically accurate of the group, but not then!
I don't get how Americans can tell others to go north, miss three blocks and go east. why not just say take XYZ highway, turn left at ABC road and the place is at number 12.
If you were born in Edinburgh, you'd always know where north is. I certainly do. It seems to be in our genes.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that ‘realistic dialogue’ has no place in filmography. It does, but it has to be skillfully crafted. Filmmakers like Woody Allen create realistic-sounding dialogue and it can be jarring to most of us who have grown up on a diet of delicately-curated sentences.

Hello, i am a boob in a TV drama. I am never, ever allowed to be seen because it's indecent and yucky. But if i grow on a leading female character, i am supposed to look perky and abundant through her clothes to make people know i'm there. My good friend nipple is allowed to be clearly seen if it grows on a male actor, of course.
Worse than that is the fact that most people that sleep together do it wearing top and under wears, after the sex
And she will always wear a camisole during sex! (I thought that was a real thing growing up until I realized it’s just so actresses aren’t topless on TV.
yep, seen this in koe no katachi.... teacher introduced the girl, she got bullied, left school, principal came to talk about this in class and the bully got called out
and it was only the one bully...the rest of them got away with it
Load More Replies...That's more realistic than you think :D. A lot of teachers are bullies.
Or flip side they’re introduced and immediately become the most popular student in school
And there's always an empty seat right next to the main character!
Yeah, well, you can't actually put everything in now can you? You also don't see people actually walking/driving/biking somewhere the whole way. Or sleeping from beginning to end... That's not something you see that is actually not happening in real life. Like table cloths and turning your head for ten seconds at a time while driving...
Exactly that. I don't want to watch people on a movie fill all the necessary forms while waiting on ER, or chewing their dinner thorougly, for about half an hour. But full make up and shaved armpits in a disaster movie are something else :D
Load More Replies...To be fair do we really want to sit and watch someone eat an entire meal? The food is there and then it’s gone so we can easily conclude what happened
Showers in the movies are there for crying or having sex. Not for washing.
I don’t sing either or have weird shower thoughts, or think up clever replies to arguments I had two years ago...
Would you watch 10-15 mins of someone seriously cleaning themselves in a movie?
And my hair is always pinned up, because it is never dirty or greasy!
Or if you are actually washing yourself, you always do it with your sexy face on and in slow motion. And you’re never ever shown washing your nutsack and/or asscrack, or shaving your pits. Does that mean cheese, dingleberries, and hairy pits? Sorry sweetie, but those are huge mood-killers.
Or when their body is fully soaped the water turns off. this always. and the face always covered in soap. always.
Haha it takes me 5 minutes of "conveying my emotional state" before I start washing in the shower as well.
Just a step up from "the usual". Because I know all the staff at every coffee shop/bar/restaurant.

And they drink coffee, another one and even more coffee, and noone ever has to go to the toilets.
Load More Replies...don't forget, everybody knows each other in the restraunt! they all say hi (name)!
That's not really unusual, let alone unrealistic, outside large cities or some tourist traps. (And even in large cities, there are plenty of bars and restaurants that have a stable customer base, many of whom know each other.)
Load More Replies...in italy, the "coffee" is the norm, it's the espresso so here it makes perfect sense to be like "i want a coffee please" :)
Indeed. And in many other places, if you ask for just "coffee" they'll give you whatever is the "standard" coffee in that area... including in America, in fact.
Load More Replies...To be fair there are a lot of smaller cafes and bistros that sell just normal brewed filter coffee from a machine
"Hi, please can I have a grande 2-shot soy cappuccino with caramel syrup and extra foam..." interrupted by movie closing credits.
And if you have a pub and about 40 regulars, you have to know what each of them drinks. Also, you have to pour it before they have a chance to ask :) And the best thing is to have it ready on the bar when they're coming in... Because you have to know when they usually come :D

I'm slomo walking toward the camera, not that far from the building as it comes apart. The blast wave will have no effective. I'm not hit by flying debris; my ear drums won't be ruptured. I won't be knocked to the ground, not even my hair nor clothing will be ruffled. Why, it's almost like the explosion was a green screen projection.
Don't get me started on the people who get up and walk away from car smashes, bike slides, crashing helicopters with just a limp and a small cut on the forehead. Broken necks? Naaah
also it's very hard to make car blow up. Mythbuster team once fired the whole mags of tracer round into half empty gas tank and they failed to produced even a single whiff of smoke
I never noticed that! A clearish red would be like a white zin, a Pinot / gamay noir, anything in the rosé family. Theres tons of light reds.
Drinking red wine right now. In film, it does often resemble Kool-Aid. By the way, it auto corrected that to kook said.
They always use very large glasses, and only pour in a small amount of wine.
That's the proper way to do it. A typical red wine glass holds some 400-450 mL (14-15 fl oz), and you only fill it about 1/3.

Of course his merry men rescue him with the help of Maid Marion and in a sword fight he kills me.

I don't know how people in movies don't have knots! Even right after they woke up! I cannot go 5 minutes without a knot forming in my hair.
Seriously! If the wind is whipping like that, I’m gonna need a brush for sure.
Load More Replies...Or in a convertible with the top down. But your hair still won't get in your eyes or mouth, or get tangled, as Sarcastic Panda points out.
Did you know that technically you're NOT supposed to rinse your mouth after brushing and that's why they say only a pea sized amount? the fluoride in the toothpaste is supposed to sit in your mouth to work.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who didn't know this.
Load More Replies...This one is my biggest peeve. A movie does not need to portray tooth brushing. So if you’re gonna do it at least do it right. You’re making them look like their breath stinks.
This is actually a better representation of what it should be like. A pea-sized amount of paste will reduce the 'toothpaste drool', NEVER rinse your mouth after brushing! Allow at least 15 mins before anything else goes in your mouth (Yes that includes mouthwash!)! It is during this time that the fluoride in your toothpaste is doing it's job.
They clearly have them brushing sans paste though. It’s not about the amount of drool, it’s about the fact that you can straight up tell their mouths are dry / zero paste. I use a pea size amount and I still get some foam / white showing even if there’s not “toothpaste drool.” Lots of people use more than a pea size amount because they don’t know.
Load More Replies...Hello. I'm a student that skateboards in a film/movie. Whether it's the first day or the last day of school, I will always be skating out of the building before anyone else.
Wait, that's supposed to be different in real life? Sounds 100% like what I experienced in school.
gosh... don't directors know that classes are usually planned out??? also the teachers usually assign homework at this time
I think that's a holdover from earlier films and television, when they were more likely to be driving vehicles which could have significant slop in the steering or other handling oddities (loose steering boxes, bump-steer, positive camber, etc.) that you wouldn't find in a modern car.
I have never noticed this before. Now I'm laughing because I'm imagining two people having a conversation in a car while the driver does zi zags across the road.
and I never get surprised if I get picked up with a Porsche or a Ferrari
It is because movies would be too boring and too long if they showed absolutely every little thing the character is supposed to do.
Yes you do: to throw up (which allways means you are pregnant if you are a female charracter), or to cough up blood discretely (to show everyone that you are dying while telling everyone that you are fine).
Although you might set off for the toilet but get distracted by something and never, ever, ever actually go. Even if what's distracted you is cannibal torture ghosts, you still won't suddenly need to go
THere should be an episode of 24 where Jack Bauer is sitting on the toilet playing Candy Crush for halfan hour
We also have unlocked doors/vents you can open and then crawl around the whole ship in/gun ports you can open from the outside; but even if we are more advanced than you we have no security system whatsoever. And we'll never see you when you look around a corner.

Here you can just ask for a pint of lager, cider, bitter, ale and will get given the most popular one normally.
I order a 'pint of lager' in pubs without specifying the brand. Sometimes bar staff ask and sometimes they just pour the popular brand they have on tap.
And then another passenger, who saw the first passenger repeatedly hit the button, will also hit the button repeatedly.

And massage really badly. How hard is it to find out how a masseur would start a massage and do that? They're all large movements that would show on camera, I can see that doing it badly is better visually than doing it correctly.
You have the cause-effect backwards. The script called for a prostitute or creep and they decided to make the character a "massage therapist."
Well, I brush(and floss) my teeth every time I finish a meal, or snack, etcc. But for the last 40 years I havent used a scintlilla of tooth paste , cause I use a grinded tree (Joazeiro) bark as a cleaning soap. Not very palatable, but much more effective.

The TV series "All in the Family" caused quite a scandalous stir when, for the first time ever on TV, there was the off-screen sound of a toilet flushing just before Archie came down the stairs.
