Things that really annoy you in tv shows

[IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece]

When Rando members of the public become part of the police and can go to suspects houses to talk to them.

Watching a show on Netflix. Woman goes back to old town after her parents are murdered and then a series of murders happen. She becomes buddy buddy with the local cop and then goes to all the interrogations, suspects homes, fucking joined them all in a rescue mission.

Drives me bonkers when they do this!

Carrying suitcases that are clearly empty. Why don’t they just put some stuff in them?

Also the fact that childcare is never an issue. I am endlessly fascinated at how the 24/7 crèche in Greys Anatomy seems to work.

When people are handed an allegedly freshly made full cup of tea or coffee, which they then drink straight down or fling about like the cup is cold and empty. Because the cup is actually cold and empty.

Also the fact that childcare is never an issue

I'm sure they just stick TV babies in a cupboard until they need them.

In US films and TV shows characters seem to drink and drive. Drive to a bar, have a few (or more) drinks then drive home. Seems bizarre and I assume illegal in the real world.

When you only hear one side of the conversation on the phone and the talker isn't leaving a long enough pause for what the person on the other end is supposedly saying.

Grace and frankie for whoever has seen it.
The episode where frankie is taking her grandchild out in the car. Every single time the camera shows the baby in the car seat, it changes from front facing to rear facing. Every. Single. Time.

And when someone runs in and says “turn in the tv”
And they turn it on straight away whereas we always put it on the wrong setting, or it's stuck on the ps4 /Netflix/Sky and I can't remember how to put it on normal tv.

When people order drinks and then immediately leave without drinking them - I seem to remember this was very common in Neighbours!

Or the bloody full breakfast cooked by Mum before the whole family run in, grab toast and fly out the door.

Women wearing a full face of makeup in bed.

Married couples who have been together for years, where the woman wears a sexy silk neglige as standard, and they have passionate sex every night.

Anything medical. It's always bloody wrong. Also massive data protection issues. Oh Mrs x how's your Tony after having his appendix out?

Giving birth? On yer back screaming.

I always think the same thing about giving birth! Also they almost always have the baby “a month early” and everything is fine when in reality when I went into labour a month early there was a lot of faffing and flapping, followed by loads of tests on the baby. They always seem to forget they part

In a chase scenario they always run up stairwells...why? If you are trying to escape you don't go up a building, you get out...

"Get Abigail off the top shelf, her scenes next"

😂

Pretty much anything to do with babies and childbirth. It's so ridiculous and so wrong and gives people the complete wrong impression!

The best representation I thought was in 'You' when they kept waking up to him crying. Even then he was in his own bedroom and only woke in the morning (like very few babies I know).

Another one - the scene is a classroom, the lesson is just beginning,,,and yet a few moments later the teacher is being interrupted by the bell and the lesson is over!

Noisy porn-esque sex scenes. Totally unnecessary for bog standard dramas or comedies.

I hate watching actors drive.
They wiggle the steering wheel about wildly, like the road is twisting and turning.

On The Chase.
"I'm Barry , I'm 57 and a retired postman from Liverpool "
Barry comes up to the spot for his chat with Bradley Walsh.
He says" Hi Barry, what do you do and where are you from? ".

Where people move in with each other at the drop of a hat (looking at you soaps) and the children are just fine about their parents breaking up and moving in with mums new man and children.
Or when a character decides to leave the country on a whim they can pack all their worldly possessions into a suitcase and trundle off to the airport in a matter of hours.

When in older times, when people were using the phone they just happened to know any phone number well enough to push the buttons really quickly.

Like, they need to ring a restaurant to book a table, and it's all push-push-push-push-push-push-push-push-push-push in about 1 second.

I tested it at the time, and couldn't even dial my own home number that quickly, which I knew off by heart and had rung that number multiple times before.

My Husband laughs at me for this but I always point out how no one seems to have an electric toothbrush

What tv show is that op?

The empty coffee cup/ suitcase thing

When people go to a bar restaurant then order a drink/food then leaving before it's arrived or they bearly have anything

They always have their shoes on when they are relaxing on the sofa.

@CatsForLife

When actors are walking with (clearly empty) coffee cups at an angle meaning it would be pouring on the floor or down their sleeve. Please can props people just put water in them then it looks right? See also carrying clearly empty handbags/bags/suitcases.

For me it's not that they're flinging them around, it's when they are clearly pretending to drink from an empty cup. We can see its empty!

In soaps especially, when they've spent ages moaning at how skint they are but then spend every lunch/evening in the local pub downing drink after drink and offering to buy them for others. What?!
