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?

People defibrillating asystole.

Rain. It's nearly so obviously fake. You can tell that it's not raining in the background/not on the focal point. Often the sky is wrong for it too.

Most medical stuff, even the shows with medical advisors.
Detective series, a body is found and no-one calls for an ambulance/attempts to resuscitate, does anything in case there is a chance the person might be revivable.
The detective gathers all the suspects together and solves the complicated murder entirely by his cleverness. He couldn't actually prove it in court, because there is no evidence. The murderer then breaks down and incriminates him/herself. Death in Paradise does this in every episode, but is not the only series to do this.

Extras in battle scenes doing that stupid side-to-side wiggley spasm when they get killed.

No one closes the curtains when they go to bed either!

How almost every issue in dramas is caused by lack of communication. TALK to each other. Just once!!

People, usually police, working late in an almost dark office with the light of just an anglepoise lamp.

Doctors talking to a patient while resuscitating them. “Come on, stay with me, you can do it etc.” I have been involved in many, many resuscitations and never ever have any of us spoken words of encouragement to the pulseless patient.

I can't stand it when two people are having a conversation and stand so close together their noses are almost touching .

Many times DH has stopped a show CSI CYBER to talk me through why everything they're doing is wrong. He's a technical director and this stuff bugs him.

Mine is medical shows which I still watch a lot of, recently we watched a show where they performed a single ling transplant on a cf patient (wouldn't happen) and she was up using a lung function machine a couple of hours later! Oh and the shitty attempts to convey CPR where they are barely moving the chest at all.

Almost every time there's a pregnancy or birth.
That's not how labour works for 99.9% of women!!

They don't just have a contraction either. As soon as the waters break they have one big long contraction until their perfectly clean baby is born.

And why do they never have to have stitches or deliver the placenta or have babies covered in gunk?

fake flowers in gardens (miranda, dexter)
carrying around v light suitcases (ie empty)

Everyone always has childcare. Parents just stop off at the pub or stay late for meetings and it's fine.

They leap into bed and rarely does anyone discuss contraception, to just the absolute best sex ever and no ones worrying about unwanted pregnancy.

Huge meals snarfed down by skinny beautiful women that could never eat like that and actually maintain their figures.

Hurling back shots one after the other in practised fashion. I'd be sick halfway through the second one.

Make up, hair and wounds that change constantly from one scene to the next.
Scars and wounds that heal within days
When people ask for or get given a drink and the cup is only half full...if at all
Pregnant women who look like they have a football stuffed up their jumper and have no boobage ...and return to being slim after they've given birth

Oh, and crime dramas where there isn't a shred of evidence just a strong hunch from the detective, who confronts the perpetrator, who then just ... confesses!
(Looking at you, Inspector Frost)

In American t.v.- a teenager has one cup of coffee and goes hyper!

It's perfectly fine to show a woman's naked body but men only need to show half a butt check- I'm looking at you G.O.T.

Families who eat a massive breakfast together on a school day, everyone is washed and dressed and ready for the day but no one ever actually eats the breakfast.

Houses that are either spotless or a shit hole. There never seems to be an inbetween.

When someone is having life changing affirmations two minutes post CPR with friends and family. Or any hugely obvious medical inconsistencies.

When people call someone and no sooner have they dialled the number and put the phone up to their ear, the person on the other end instantly answers, as if they are just ready and awaiting for their phone to ring!

Car runs out of fuel.

Tap the fuel gauge that shows empty, because that'll get it to fire right back up again.

Really mows my lawn.

Obvious nothing is in mugs.

P.S: When people make out in their underwear and the men don't have a boner.

(Not sure if that's unrealistic or not though, it's just never happened to me that the guy didn't. )

When paying for anything actors just happen to grab the correct change out of their pocket and never even look at it

Whenever a character is shown throwing-up they always sit on the floor in front of the toilet and hug the seat, even when it's a grotty public toilet.

When men get upset or annoyed about something they have to stick their face in a sink and pouring running water over themselves. This is followed by the obligatory staring at themselves in the mirror immediately afterwards. Why?

In Home and Away every conversation on the beach has to be gut wrenching and life changing. No one goes to the beach and chats about their plans for decorating the downstairs bog.

In hollyoaks characters are either naive or serial killers.

I just shout at the TV "turn the lights on ffs" when watching characters fumbling around in the dark, awaiting someone/something to pounce. Why don't they just put the lights on?
