Don't get me wrong, movies don't have to depict reality if they don't want to. After all, we often watch them to escape it. The problem is that sometimes Hollywood intentionally tries to accurately portray the world but have no clue what they're talking about. I'm talking good guys jumping behind some furniture and the bad guys unloading hundreds of rounds into people without any going through. Or people ordering food at a restaurant and leaving before getting their meals.

In an attempt to figure out which of these cliches are the most overused, reddit user UK-NeilPatel posted a question on the platform, asking "What is something unrealistic that you often see in movies that annoys the hell out of you?" In less than two weeks, they received over 10,000 upvotes and 8,000 comments, many of which are legit. Continue scrolling and check out the best ones!

This is the one that always bugs me. I can't work at my computer without tying my hair back. I couldn't imagine doing my martial arts without my hair in a bun. If you look at UFC, those women often have their hair in corn rows so their hair definitely doesn't come loose.

However, if we were to take this to the extreme, we would get camp film -- movies doing something ridiculous and over-the-top whilst being executed sincerely -- something that has been implemented in films for quite some time. Experts say this technique is central to the genre of trash film; arguably the "worst" genre of film that exists. In the best kind of way.

    Camp movies challenge binary "good vs. bad" thinking because they are both good and bad. They reject the principles of cinema, ultimately allowing the audience to both laugh along with the movie and at it.

    So I guess just because a film reads as bad, doesn’t necessarily mean it isn't good. The Room might be labeled as the worst film ever made, but arguably one of the most enjoyable ones, too. It brings audiences so much joy and pleasure through its unrealistic "realism." What do you think?

    actually, people must understand that usually hacking could be - 1.trying random guesses until you either get it right or get it glitched (it depends on what you are trying to achieve - both overloading and some random getting thru is possible); 2.taking advantage of some already known glitches/bugs/unmanageable errors; 3.trying to overcome the system with script encryption - both manual and automated (although, both usually requires massive resources and/or genius mind); 4. and the last but not least is physical hacking wich combines simple advantage of having the upper hand and being able to turn off, shorten some circuits and similar not mention combine that with one or some of the options above. Anyway, I agree - most of the "hacking" scenes in films are bullshit.

    To be fair, in Friends, Monica was subletting the apartment from her aunt (or was it great aunt?) who had been there since the forties or fifties. If it was a rent-controlled building—-and NYC rent control started in 1947—-that rent was dirt cheap. Friends took place in the nineties, so imagine paying a rent amount, on a Greenwich Village 2 BR apartment with a balcony, from fifty years before that! (Even now, paying nineties rent would be a bargain.)

    In the case of Rachel and Monica in Friends, they make it clear that they're illegally subletting Monica's grandma's apartment at the protected rate meant for the Grandma. That's why Chander's high paying job was required for the the apartment across the hall.

    First time mothers and the first sign of labour is their waters breaking. This is very, *very* unusual, particularly with first pregnancies. Usually the waters break a long time into the labour, and for very good reason, the waters provide mobility for the baby to move. As if this isn't bad enough, the they have the character not notice a ton of fluid falling out of their vaginas. Makes me crazy. It's getting so old.

    The vast majority of fire deaths are from smoke inhalation. Its why running into a burning building is always a bad idea. In an enclosed area the fire sucks up all the oxygen and displaces it with toxic carbon monoxide. You dont even have to be in the same room as the blaze to suddenly collapse from the condition. Fire fighters have an oxygen supply, not to mention other protective gear. Thats why they can enter

If I was sitting outside the classroom the door was locked, if people didn't see me they knew the door was unlocked. (I never missed a class in 4 years, btw). One morning I made sure the door was unlocked and then sat outside, just to see what everyone would do. No one checked the door. No one caught on that I'd tricked then. Highly amusing. =)

    In a fist fight or mugging the participants fight clean. In a real situation there would be biting, gouging of eyes, grabbing and twisting of the (male) genitals , hinting the opponent's head with anything harmful that came to hand etc to incapacitate the attacker.

Don’t get me wrong, most PhD scientists I know have a solid foundation in chem/physics/bio, but it’s not super common to find a person who has a PhD-level of understanding in all of those fields. I hate it in movies when the ecologist somehow develops a vaccine, or the meteorologist manages to predict an earthquake . Like, a PhD is so narrow in scope. A biologist who studies fish probably can’t answer s**t about snakes... let alone create a vaccine for a novel virus.

    I recall having several classes in those amphitheater-like classrooms. Most were in very old buildings designed before overhead projection was a thing, so every student had to be able to see the chalkboard clearly. In modern buildings, One was a zoology 101 class with 600 people in it, and probably organic chemistry, also with 600 people in it.

    Lava does not let you melt slowly into it. Even at close proximity the heat is enough to evaporate the liquids in your body and make you explode... They tested it by throwing dead pigs into a volcano, the corpses just bounce and skitter until the liquids are gone and the meat has burned up.

    Massive pet peeve. Prop department likely does this so they don't have to fill cups with liquid (may also be issue of liquids sloshing around and making noise for sound dept), but I think there's an easy solution: simply weight the insides down with something to give them some heft. This wouldn't solve the problem of actors holding (presumably full) coffee cups at crazy angles that would spill any coffee inside, but it would be better than, "Here, I bought you a cup of air!" And sometimes they make a hollow thunk when they're set down on a table, which also doesn't help things, lol.

    I had to take out my own once. Woke up in the hospital with it all bent up, bloody arm. No working call button. Took it out carefully and it barely bled. It was probably no longer in the vein. Nurse finally checks on me and yells at me for doing it myself even though I had no way to call anyone. The reason I was stuck there overnight is b/c some idiot nurse didn't read my chart and gave me morphine in recovery which made me very sick and dehydrated. The upside is I did vomit on her shoes.

Then immediately yanks their IV away and stands up as soon as he learns that bad things happened while he was in the hospital. It´s crazy how quickly someone´s organism can get well? :-)

    This may be cultural, but in at least 90% of homes I've visited (in the US), the owners don't take off their own shoes when coming in the house and they don't expect you to, either. When there's an exception, they'll usually ask you to do so as soon as you come in, since it's not a common thing — and you'll also be tipped off by a collection of shoes (not boots) near the door.

    With subsonic ammunition, which eliminates the loud crack, paired with a suppressor you can get as low as about 20 db which is as silent as a whisper. So it is possible to get the movie "pfft" but it's mainly thanks to specialized ammunition.

    One character has never fired a gun in their life, so the badass gives one shooting lesson. That character misses every shot until the badass tells them "You need to feel the path of the bullet...", and they get a single bullseye. Now that character is one-handing Desert Eagles and hitting targets 200 yards a way directly between the eyes from a spinning vehicle.
