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!

Sorry pressed post too soon- Angela Black buying her cup of coffee from the coffee van and drinking it straight away. IT WOULD BE ROASTING HOT - AGAIN, NO-ONE DOES THIS!!

People who confess to their heinous crimes outside of a police station... In ear shot of many police officers

Gratuitous strip club scenes. Once you start noticing them they're everywhere, particularly in crime dramas, e.g. detectives speaking to suspect/dodgy witness against backdrop of slightly out of focus pole dancers

Oh and also every woman who ever feels sick is pregnant

And, why is toast always in a toast rack on the TV. Who has a fucking roast rack!

That in every drama with an attractively stressed executive woman the massive and always totally full fridge must be opened the minute they get in and a giant glass of wine must be poured. Whenever I get home my bladder decides NOW is the time for a wee and I have to run down the hall shouting to anyone who is home " Need a wee...need a wee".

Toast*

Oh another one...when, in extremely dangerous, time sensitive/crucial situations, SOMEONE decides to stop for a wee chat, prolonged embrace/snog, argument about something NOT BLOODY IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW JOHN!!

They know that every second counts, and Harry The Hired Hitman, or complete Armageddon, is right behind them...but still decide that now is the time to stare longingly into each other's eyes, or tear a strip!

I don't watch soaps anymore but it used to really annoy me that they all spent their lives in the pub. Even the ones with kids! On their lunch break they're in the pub, after work, they're in the pub. Where do they get the money and who's looking after their kids?!

Everyone in a bathroom always looks in the mirror an excessive amount, then watches themselves sadly swill two white pills from a small bottle. Who takes pills like that?

Also actress* in the shower slowly stroking her wet hair with no shampoo or conditioner in it!*

Used to watch Eastenders in the late 80s. Everyone was constantly moaning about having no money but then went in the caff for a tea and a full English every day even though their own house was only 20 yards away.

When there’s something hurtling towards someone and they just stand there and watch until it surprisingly kills or injured them, in real life you run from that shit.

That when there is a serial killer, pervert, weirdo in the neighbour one of the young, attractive but totally dispensable women will decide to go for a walk to 'clear their head' Oh you're toast then.

They leave the fridge door open for way too long on TV!

Oh thought of another one. When a character is stressed they go into a bathroom and wash their face...even if they have make up on 🤔 I have never thought 'God, I can't deal with this, I'll wash my face and feel better'

That the woman in a sex scene ALWAYS has an orgasm and it only takes 30 seconds.
Also that when a couple who are supposedly having passionate sex for the first time the actress keeps her bra and pants on. I know it's because she hasn't agreed to nudity in real life and that's fair enough , but it just looks stupid.

Wearing a bra to have sex/waking up in the morning wearing a bra after sex has clearly happened the night before. Who does that? Even if only sleeping I have never worn a bra a second longer than I've needed to, and never met a man who want just as keen to get it off early in proceedings!

Oh cross post with @AngelinaFibres

Great minds think alike

They always make amazing meals and never eat them… perhaps one mouthful

A family sitting down to have a big breakfast together before work/school.. who actually has time for that?

When packing a suitcase they do it downstairs in the living room. Surely most people pack their case upstairs otherwise you have to be up and down the stairs all night.

If they have been out to the cinema together they wait until they arrive home and ask did you enjoy the film? Did they just sit in silence on the car journey home?

Corporate type couples are always shown working in bed late at night surrounded by important paperwork and holding a giant glass of wine. If I drank that much wine I would either be asleep in 10 minutes or have produced utter drivel I would have to redo in the morning.

Men peeing in urinals. Men having conversations while peeing in urinals. Why do we need to see this?!

It annoys me when they throw food and recyclables into the landfill bin. Most places have had a compost caddy and a recycling bin for ten/fifteen years now!

Parents kiss their kid goodnight, leave the room... and THAT'S IT. they aren't called back in because it's too dark / they need a wee / are thirsty / want one more story etc
