Scenes in films which irrationally annoy you

[Toomuchtooyoung01]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (original version)
Every single time I've watched the scene where the golden ticket winners are touring the factory and enter the area where everything is edible, I get genuinely irritated that none of them actually get stuck in! None of them really try anything! They just dip their finger in something and keep walking! Surely you'd take full advantage and pig out? Or at least sample everything?!

Oh dear, I have a lot...

Horror films - girl is downstairs in her own house, that she knows the layout of. It has at least 3 doors and 10 windows she could climb out of but she always runs up the stairs where there's no escape.

Drinking out of empty cups

Going on a first date, something happens at their house and the character has the new dates address memorised "we need an ambulance to 3156 Mayfair drive and 4th, apartment 2C"

Only ever see poor people eat cereal for breakfast. If you have money you have either eggs or pancakes.

Couples kissing as soon as they wake up.

Sex scenes in general - it's kissing, ripping clothes off, sex. No foreplay, no awkward 'wait til we get a condom,' or wait 10 minutes while I undo the stupid strappy sandals and peel off my skintight jeans. And it always works, no moving to get more comfortable etc even when he's 6"3 and she's a foot shorter.

The morning after, there are always enough sheets on the bed for her to wrap in one and wander off.

No one closes their curtains.

Women waking up with perfect make up and hair.

Everyone living in huge houses, regardless of job etc. Unless you're the token poor person, then you live in a bedsit.

Couples kissing as soon as they wake up.

Do you not do that? I do that. Is that not normal?

Candy no - morning breath! 🤢

My huge bugbear is American cops pointing their guns at a perp (who is holding a gun) & shouting "Put the gun down!" and then negotiating about putting the gun down. For ages. Sigh.

Neah. They just shoot. Immediately. Lots of times. No warning. You're dead. If the gun is within 10 feet of the perp the cops shoot & ask questions later.

Another one is people hanging by fingertips from a ledge. One finger prised off at a time until somehow they overwhelm the baddy & pull themselves up over the ledge by fingertips after all. Or they catch the hand of a friend who is falling and stopping them from falling further, now just one hand on the ledge. None of that can physically happen. Zzzzzz.

(and finally) any plot line where the police type investigator gets stalked by the super evil criminal. It doesn't happen in reality. It's so boring. I refuse to read books with that in the plot.

Sex scenes in general - it's kissing, ripping clothes off, sex. No foreplay, no awkward 'wait til we get a condom,' or wait 10 minutes while I undo the stupid strappy sandals and peel off my skintight jeans. And it always works, no moving to get more comfortable etc even when he's 6"3 and she's a foot shorter.

Unless it's a comedy.

@Thingscanonlygetwetter the ending makes me very anxious but I choose to believe it ends well..!

@supercee you what, you what, you what you what you what!!

A variation on that is the hero sliding down the roof and catching the gutter (usually one handed) which miraculously holds his weight. I can tell you from personal experience this is Utter Bollocks!*.
Luckily my roof wasn't that high.

*How he manages to check his momentum without ripping every tendon in his wrist out up to his armpits is another question.

Greece 2 when they sing that reproduction song

Rita sue and bob too is just vile the whole thing.

All TV and movies, people talking to the front passenger when driving: KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE FUCKING ROAD!!!

Almost every scene in the Holiday but particularly when Cameron decides to head back to the US completely forgetting that she has taken responsibility for Kate's dog. Who will look after it if she leaves a week early? She doesnt even consider it!

And on the sex theme, have you noticed that the woman is always on top.

In Notting Hill where Hugh Grant APOLOGISES to Julia Roberts when she has been a complete cunt to him throughout the entire film.

Any scene where there's a crying character and there's no tears or just one time sparkling diamond tear but lots of sobbing and perfect makeup not totally ruined by the sobbing cry-fest... infuriating

The PG13 bit in Scream always makes me cringe... she literally flashes her boobs out of her open and well lit window

I've been watching movie franchises so finished Harry Potter, Batman and Fifty Shades of Grey. Urghh Fifty Shades of Grey are the worst movies ever! I really wanted them both to just die and in the end I was fast forwarding the sex scenes as they were so cheesy and eye rolling.
I was thinking about starting Twilight again tomorrow but the thought of seeing her miserable gob is putting me right off

I also actually hate the fact that no one knows Clarke Kent is Superman because he wears glasses 😲😠

The Holiday (which I quite like)
Kate Winslet playing air guitar in bed, and singing the stupid 'do-de-do' song with Jack Black.

The new Blade Runner film. Loads of sexism. Especially towards the end - the giant female fawning over that bloke. Really, really hated the film.

The scene in Dirty Dancing when Baby goes up to Johnny’s room, the line where she says she is scared of never feeling like she does when she is with him. It makes me cringe.

TV not movies.
But in the newest Gilmore Girls special series where the whole series is about how Lorelai doesn't feel connected to Luke, and then her solution in the last episode is for them to get married.
WHAT A FABULOUS IDEA!

any film where the CSI or equivalent zooms into the picture of someone's face and reads text in the reflection in that person's eye.

Actually there was a case in Japan recently where a stalker tracked down a star from a reflection in her eye in a picture on FB or something.

ALL films where they never close their bedroom curtains when they go to bed, then proceed to parade around in various states of undress, with the lights on! Even more infuriating, is when they leave their window open with the thin voiles blowing around, knowing that there's a 'baddie' of some description in the area!

Also, people having long conversations on the phone, then just hanging up! No attempt at any kind of conversation closure...that never happens in real life, it's just so rude!

Every scene in Mamma Mia the movie, the stage show was good, but the film was awful.

The female character screaming (at anything - discovering a monster, finding a body, whatever) while the man reacts calmly, with strength and composure...

Any scene in Titanic as it is a total pile of b*ocks.

I adore This Is England but do ask - did we really all sit in pubs singing together, in the eighties/nineties? Does anyone now?

Love Actually ‘where the f*ks my f**ing coat?! Line as she runs downstairs - because working class people swear around their family all the time and it’s cute and funny.

The casting in the most recent Great Gatsby. Appalling. Had the casting director read the book?

Yes to the PP who mentioned first thing kissing and talking into each other’s faces on waking up - never happens in my house I can tell you

Any woman running holding a baby and a work bag wearing high heels to signify she’s ‘juggling’ and is a busy ‘working mum’.

The scene in Billy Elliott when he joins the ballet lesson line up for the first time and the girls are all in their tutus when they are just practising.

All of Gladiator

It really annoys me when suitcases are obviously empty too. Just put a couple of bloody jumpers in or something, it would look so much better.

Yes re the empty suitcases!

Almost always lifted with perfect ease - because they're EMPTY.
