Things that irrationally annoy you in films?

[Soubriquet]

I’ll start

Brand new baby born...size of a 3 month old, wide awake and smiling

Always annoys me

Snot in scenes where someone is crying. It turns my stomach!

Romantic films ignore morning breath.
They have two people who wake up in the morning and then partake in some serious tongue action without brushing their teeth.

People not closing their curtains at night.... although I'm not sure if this is an 'in films' thing or an thing that's totally normal everywhere but the UK?
Happy to be educated... please

Also, not making appropriate plans.

'So I'll see you later then?'
'Ok'

Where???
What time???
Who is driving???

Argh!

Sorry @Thefirstnohell... I'd missed yours. But I'm joining your cause

Driving and not looking at the road

@Soubriquet

In that same vein, they never say hello when answering the phone, say let’s meet at the bar, never say what time, and then hang up!

No “hello Judy, how are are you?”

They never say goodbye either. So many rude people in films.

No-one ever washes before sex.

Someone being chased down the road by a car always stays in the centre of the road waiting to be run down instead of moving to the side.

Handbags and suitcases are always very light, no-one seems to carry a heavy bag or case.

I second bad musical instrument playing. Especially strings, when the bowing is nothing like what’s happening on the soundtrack.

Snot in scenes where someone is crying. It turns my stomach!

When it runs from their nostrils into their mouth and they lick it off.

Mascara that doesn't run in drowning or crying scenes.

Someone collapses to the floor in a film and one of two things will happen. Either 5 seconds of badly performed CPR and the person will gasp and all will be well, or a completely non medically trained person will look at them sadly, pretend to take their pulse, shake their head and say he/she's gone

Some have already been said. Not turning lights on in dangerous situations, rather creeping about in darkness. Women wearing slinky, satin totally impractical nightwear. Females running out onto the street in said nightwear, never stopping to grab a coat of shoes. Men however always have time to put on and lace up their shoes. The mismatch of ages so that the 'mum' is as close in she to her son as she is to her partner. This never happened the other way round. Also extremely attractive, thin women paired with overweight, unattractive much older men.
Everyone either lives in a vast, sprawling house with huge gardens, or a total slum.

Never needing to lube for sex, quick snog against the wall and in it goes.
Not saying bye on the phone.
Being really rude to the police, I'd be shitting myself.

Dh put a film on the other night, I counted maybe 20+ average/normal looking men, but the 4 women that had been on screen were all jaw droppingly beautiful.

On the same note, older average looking men are always married to younger stunning women.

The film Couples Retreat is THE WORST for this.

For me, it’s people hanging up phones without saying goodbye, never paying for taxis, and neighbours / friends who go to peoples houses and help themselves to stuff out of their fridge. Who does that in real life?

@SlopesOff OMG, yes when they lick it or sniff it back up, urgh.

Mouth noises in kissing scenes, very LOUD ones and trying to eat each other.

Ditto eating, eating and talking with food in gob, slurping, crunching.

Seems to be much louder that it used to be.

When a film is meant to be set at one time of the year and is very obviously filmed in the wrong season eg leaves on the trees in the middle of winter. Nativity is the worst for - this - the trees are all wrong, the light is all wrong. I’ve stopped pointing it out to dh....

For me it's scenes set at Christmas when the light is wrong. I remember one Dr who episode where it's supposed to be 3pm in Christmas Day and it's bright sunshine. By 3pm Christmas Day the sun is low in the sky and it's starting to get dark

In science lab scenarios the liquids are all coloured not just colourless.

When an action, or process hasn’t been completed.
Not Shutting the door when they go out.
Not Getting the change from a shop keeper.
Leaving the keys in a car.
Not paying for stuff.
Mostly safety related stuff for some reason, but money not being paid plays on my mind too.

Wrong season, as previously mentioned

And people meeting up for a Big Conversation in a Fancy Restaurant - invariably, the conversation is over in half a minute, one partner storms out and the other is left to presumably honour the reservation

Just agree to meet in the cafe at the park ffs

People not asking the perfectly reasonable or obvious questions or jumping to ridiculous conclusions eg. Every rom com ever.
Ask who the woman was? It's almost invariably his sister, or less commonly his absolutely 100% platonic ex-wife.

When people order food or a drink in a restaurant, take about 1 bite or 1 sip and leave the rest. I can’t imagine doing that 😂

Also women giving birth that moan slightly and then the baby is out in 1 push.

Women pursuing men in films and then it all working out in the end. I can't watch romcoms at all

If there's any train scenes my train-obsessed DH will stop the film/show and tell me all the reasons why it's incorrect.

I hate Downton Abbey or Heartbeat when they mention a train journey...

Endless amounts of beautiful single people. Everyone at bars is always on the pull and available.
