Movies and TV shows provide a perfect setting for escapism with their twisting plots, colorful characters, and captivating stories (also the abundance of on-screen hotties). But not all the situations are relatable, as well as certain depictions of daily things that are not quite close to reality. Whether it’s the continuity department not paying too much attention to certain details, or it happening by sheer accident and focus getting directed to more important plot points—spectators will point out numerous unrealistic details. But we all know it’s a quest to find a parking place right in front of your house, how practically impossible it is guessing other people's passwords correctly in less than 3 goes, or that there’s no point in believing in the existence of fresh-out-of-college young and aspiring artists immediately landing a huge flat in a prime area of LA.

r/AskReddit—a place for asking and answering various questions—recently inquired about "What happens in movies or TV that seems to be normal and you think to yourself ’that is not what people in real life do?’" And below are the pretty spot-on answers that will make you look twice at some scenes of the movie or TV show you’re currently watching.

Burner phones normally have no wifi, no camera etc etc so battery life will last a lot longer, I one took a Nokia 3310 on a 2 week holiday and didn't have to charge it once.

    It was a open kitchen/living room affair with 2 rather normal sized bedrooms, so I don't think it was that large. Also, early on in the show Monica explained that the appartement was still in her grandmothers name and rent controlled and that's why she could afford it, with the help of a roommate. I found Pheobe being able to sustain herself far more unlikely, with her being out of work so often.

    This is on purpose though. It turns out when viewers see someone carrying a brown bag that isn't clearly filled with groceries, they assume it's a plot device and start thinking about what could possibly be in it. If it's clear what it is, everyone ignores it.

    Ali H M Salehuddin

    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    This is done for the audience benefit. To clear the doubt on some of us wondering what could be in the bag. Do the items in there contribute significantly to the plot line? Seeing the main characters carry a bag (of any kind), would elicit a question on the viewers' mind. Could there be gun, knive, gold bars or nuclear detonation triggering device in there? Baguette, celery, carrots are obvious signs to show the audience they are just groceries; nothing significant.

    And no one's struggling to carry it unless they're in heels. Then the one lady in heels stumbles and some good looking shmuck is right there to help her and they fall in love or some cheesy eye staring contest. And never once does that grocery paper bag contain period stuff or anything embarrassing for medical purposes.

    People In This Online Group Pointed Out 35 Things Shown In Movies That Are Weird In Real Life One thing that drives me berserk in movies is when someone is driving and talking to their passenger. They refuse to keep their eyes on the road and insist on making prolonged eye contact with the person next to them. In the movies this often means a jump-scare car crash is about to happen. I'd like to say that's unrealistic but my mom used to drive that way all the time. I hated going anywhere with her.

Yes, he had many car accidents although surprisingly none of them resulted in severe injury. Eventually dad refused to get in the car with him.

    That’s when making friends with the bus driver’s kids helps a lot. My bus driver was a local farmer, and I was in class with his daughter. Even though my stop was a few houses down from the corner, and I was rarely late, if I wasn’t there he would stop and wait just a little less than a minute to see if I came running out of my house. If I didn’t, he knew I was sick and not going to school that day.

    Not anymore. That happened when it was still safe for kids to go outside or even to school alone. Now, if the kids out the door and not on the bus, the drivers liable and probably reprimanded. They do it more to protect themselves than out of concern, but either way I breathe easier knowing he/she is safe.

    Also in many action movies, the hero knocks out the bad guy and does not have a weapon, yet leaves the bad guys weapon with the bad guy instead of taking it. I am always yelling at the screen, "stop wait get the friggin' gun!"

    The real issue is the length of time people stay unconscious after getting knocked out. IRL, most knockouts happen with a jaw punch, which snaps the head sideways and short-circuits the vagus nerve. Once you wake, you are pretty disoriented, but you get back to normal within ten minutes. However, you are out for — at most — five seconds. Anything longer than that, and you are probably dying.

    Somewhat related, when a character is knocked out and unexpectedly wakes up to find themself in a hospital bed, and immediately yanking off/out every single wire and tube because they have to get out of there. That's not how that works! IVs bleed for one thing, aside from being secured down pretty well. Secondly, if a patient's heart monitor suddenly flatlines (cause they, ya know, ripped it off), there should be a nurse to investigate that don't you think?

    Also the part of a movie or TV show where there is this huge battle between two characters kicking each other in the head, crashing through tables, wood or glass, someone having their head bashed hard into the wall, someone smashes the other guy with a metal bar, and the fight goes on and on like this and neither is injured bad enough for the fight to end until the bad guy finally gets thrown out a 3 story window and lands on the roof of a car, where he's FINALLY dead then the friends of the good guy come running in to the rescue 5 seconds after the fight ends and the winner is left standing and then moves down to the ambulance where the next scene shown is him all cleaned up with a little cut to the forehead putting an ice pack on it. Sorry for the run-on sentance, but that is exactly how watching those fights feel.

And when that moment came and the mortgage company asked for our recent paystubs we looked at each other with the biggest facepalm of our lives.

    Who doesn’t look through the peephole—-which may not even be there, in a hotel where they have to have peepholes, which is a hotel I would immediately check out of, btw—-or out a discreet window if there’s one available, to see who it is first. I don’t even have anyone after me, and even since I was young and lived at home—-and especially when I lived on my own—-I have always checked who it is first before opening the door.

Both of them lying and playing games with each other, ,they get super mad. Ah, but she writes the article and he reads it then it all makes sense to him and he wants her back. And I just realized he never explained anything to justify his shitty reasons for duping her. The movie just ends.

    And you get couples who are supposed to be madly in love, and yet they don't trust each other *at all*. The instant it looks even slightly like someone *might* have cheated, the other person instantly believes it and storms off without waiting for an explanation (which they refuse to believe anyway). Come on - if you have THAT little faith in your significant other, why are you even together in the first place?

    Also, you can just be honest right away, before anything that might be endangered truly exists. Before it hurts. I did this a few times and never had any regrets that lasted longer than a week. There are some things that I either can't or don't want to change, no matter what, and if she's not ok with it, it won't work out anyway. Vice versa, the same. Anyone demanding to get rid of the cat, for example, is allowed to leave, and not allowed any else.

Like in cop shows when one cop begins an explanation, then the next one picks up the story at a seamlessly convenient spot, then the third adds, “but...” and throws in some more. No one in real life has ever talked like that.

    Criminal minds!!! The plot is great most of the times but the way they speak is obviously scripted and ridiculous! Taking turns really fast like no thinking at all, like they are saying a poem!!!

    Criminal Minds !!! When the team has to update the local cops. Oh and by the way the local cops who get briefed regarding the un-sup, never catch the un-sup.

    CSI did this all the time, and Criminal Minds. But to some extent it's an obvious and fairly efficient way of explaining things to the viewers.

    Real life cops: "Eff it, arrest 'em all, sort it out later, I'm not doing the paperwork on this." (Actually overheard once. Such a fun neighborhood that was.)

    That's how it was on that good series with the SVU (darm can't remember the title). If there were 4 in the room, one would say something, then another would add other info, then another, then the last. Each had a line in succession at each meeting, It was annoying and comical simultainiously!

    It's the Musket on the Wall. Checkov said if you write tear away all but the vital in writing and you write about a musket on the wall, you better have that musket go off at a later time in the story. So a sneeze is doing a "job" for the writer. In cinema you are doing it better by "showing" it than by explaining it. This is why expository voice over is a hallmark of a super bad movie (unless it's Blade Runner). Thank you for attending my TED Talk

    Sometimes it's just that something (like dust or pepper) has tickled your nose -- or you have sensitivity to light. It's not just disease.

    Baby doesn't scream when baby knows there's no point in screaming ie doesn't get picked up, fed, changed. Babies who don't cry are neglected babies..

    Nope, it can be separation anxiety. Depends on the age and phase. Just like people, babies have personalities, some love playing alone and some won’t leave their parents alone. Nothing to do with neglect.

    Or there are two actors playing a one player game.

Final Fantasy games are one player RPGs XD
