Minor things that piss you off in TV shows and films

[GunpowderGelatine]

I'm watching season 2 of Delicious with Dawn French, she plays a really high brow chef in it, in a super dooper swanky pants fully-booked-for-52-years kind of restaurant. She makes a huge saucepan full of sauce, scoops some out with a spoon to taste, then shoves the spoon back in, then her daughter comes along and she gets another scoop and gets her daughter to taste it 😱😱😱 it doesn't end there!! The sexy new chef bounces up and Dawn once again sticks the double dipped spoon back into the pan and asks him to taste it!

I've worked in restaurants, from equally swanky pants to 3 courses for £6 type places, and this just would never happen. Even if the chef doesn't intend to serve it to customers, they would never spread the love in that kind of way. I'm afraid to say it's ruined the entire show for me 😂 what kind of thing annoy you in TV/film?

During second? During sex!

Nobody ever nips to the loo on the telly.

That is definitely not true.

Murder mysteries. Funny how it’s always the young blonde slim women who are targeted. Kill a fat middle aged man for a change please 🙄

How Albert Square hasn't been bought up by some consortium or other and turned into luxury flats or commercial properties. The residents all seem to own their houses outright yet grub about working in corner shops or on market stalls, as a pp said. If they sold their houses, they'd be in the money, or at least afford a functioning washing machine.

With the seris I'm currently watching I want to say now of these troubles would be happening if you'd all stick together. It's a fear pandemic. Don't go off on your own to sort something out. Your fear will get you. Argh! C'Mon people!

Women orgasming from penetration alone. Isn't it a minority of women who work that way? TV suggests as soon as you pop a willy in you're off to joy city. Does a disservice to us all!

Women only ever being sick when they're pregnant but don't know it yet.

Massively unrealistic early babyhood/breastfeeding - made to look all glowy and easy instead of chaotic and exhausting.

OMG, I know this has been mentioned but when characters are driving in a car having a conversation, and the driver turns and gives the other a long look of some sort WHILST STILL DRIVING and I'm yelling "EYES ON THE ROAD, YOU IDIOT!!!"

I hate it with a firey burning passion.

Most lab stuff. There is no need for all those colourful liquids. Really.
You'd be hard to get more than red/yellow and those would probably be in the fridge, not a shelf.

Pipetting like it's brain surgery. CSI

Most misunderstandings. They could be clarified so easily.

Everyone who is pregnant only knows cos of the morning sickness.

The mornings. Loads of time for sitting around eating. Meeting at coffee shops etc. In our house it's manic and barely time to brush our teeth

In Lewis, Endeavour etc it annoys me when they walk down a street in Oxford and come out somewhere completely different to the real street. I wouldn't mind if the place was supposed to be fictional.

People in soaps moaning that they have no money and then going across the road to buy lunch in the cafe or pub.

When someone gets a lovely bunch of flowers and shoves them into the bin.

Hiding pregnancy tests/incriminating evidence on top of the bin so the next person to use the bin sees it straight away.

Ordering food and drink then leaving.

Women being rushed off to hospital after one contraction.

Lastest Star Wars film. Last Jedi or whatever. Too much reliance on “cute” aliens and jokey battle scene comments. Sorry, but it drags it all down and makes the whole film shite.

Nobody goes a upstairs then forgets why, nobody catches themselves on door handles, nobody forgets what they were going to say.
Soaps. Working a couple of hours a week means you own your own home, can afford to eat 3 meals out everyday, going to buy a coffee from the local cafe when they live 10 seconds away.

People not putting the big light on when you really would just put the big light on.

User-friendly computer error messages.

People taking it in turns to talk with no overlap or butting in

When a couple have just finished having sex and the woman has to jump up and dash off to work or an emergency, yet never has to wipe up the leakage...! It makes me think eurgh she's going to have secretions all day now and she'll stink

Didn't the brother who was in Paris pay for the trip for the McAllisters? I'm sure the dad said that to the least convincing 'cop' ever

But I bloody hate that film anyway. Why was the entire rest of the family so fucking awful. The other kids were real little shits. And uncle Frank was a wanky bastard.

People not wearing seatbelts in cars, especially documentaries loved the Amazing Hotels series but regularly shouted when Monica and Giles wouldn't wear their seatbelts. I think it's really irresponsible

Pepe climb into cars and manage to pull away in nanoseconds. No way could they have put on seatbelt, got car started, put it in gear, checked mirrors and released handbrake in 20 seconds.

Scottish people are always drunks or criminals 🙄.

My mum had an over the top rage about coronation street and Gail Platt. Whilst working in the cafe she was emptying a big tin of peas using a spoon. My mum got really irate about it ‘what the hell is she doing? Just tip the tin into the pan!’

People just tend to walk into other folks homes without a by your leave.

The amount of noise horses make on television. In real life they don't do nearly so much whinnying and neighing.

Why was the entire rest of the family so fucking awful. The other kids were real little shits. And uncle Frank was a wanky bastard.
There's a whole load of fan theories:

@MarsBarsAreShrinking

I know!

Same thing in Gilmore Girls, externally that house has got to be 4 bedroom but apparently it's a one bed one bath house and her daughter sleeps in a room off the kitchen.

Meredith's house in Greys Anatomy apparently only has (at the beginning) room for three - despite it being massive, at some point after they have children about 7 people live there at once and invisible rooms just exist.

They also have an invisible nanny who must sleep somewhere considering Meredith works nights

that everybody in eastenders who had a dog suddenly the dog disappears after a few episodes e.g. roxies dog lindas dog the Taylor's dog!!

Female actors who look barely older than their onscreen teenager yet father is a lot older. Massive houses despite father in ordinary job and mother stay at home parent. American shows are the worst for this, but how can any of the "eastenders" afford that area now???

People vomiting as an easy film-maker's shorthand for communicating the severity of their shock/distress.

Houseplants thriving in dark corners of houses.
