Don't wash their hands after going to the toilet

Don't wash their hands after touching raw chicken, especially when they just rub their hands on a towel Angry

When they don't close the door after going in and out the house

And many more Grin

Please tell me I'm not alone!

Trills - that's reminded me. The tziiiiing thing:

Try this too

What an excellent website!

I've just read about The Coconut Effect. There was a youtube video (which I can't now find) that showed a movie clip of medieval-ish horse riders before and after the added sound effects. I don't know why they bothered. I mean: what's that big animal? It's a horse. What's it doing? It's running. No coconuts or jingle-bells needed to figure that out.

Be warned, you may get lost on that website for hours and hours.

I was watching a program the other day when a character was in a PortaLoo. There was a sound effect of a loo flushing. A PortaLoo. Flushing. I only wish they did - wouldn't be so grim otherwise.

The same scream effect has been used in hundreds of movies: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream

Once you hear it, you'll always recognise it!

KatoPotato · 12/01/2015 00:09

YY to that scream! Also the chuckling baby... No idea how to type it, but you all know it!

All births are premature, vaginal, super quick and relatively pain free. How many babies are born in hospital on Corrie? I can only remember Tina giving birth in hospital (recently). Violet and Kirsty gave birth in the rovers, Katy at the school nativity, Kylie on Gail's couch, Maria on some tyres on the beach... Also most are born on Christmas day.

Weekday or Christmas Day weddings. Saturday weddings are for losers.

You will have a mega fall out with someone, nearly kill them ( or them you) but guaranteed 3-6 months down the line they'll be helping you give birth in Kevin's garage or drinking at your hen/stag do like nowt happened.

If you ever need to be somewhere "else" just say you're at the suppliers. No one will doubt you.

You will always have a friend or relative that lives in LA or Portsmouth that you have never mentioned but will want you to do a job for them or nurse them on their death bed.

He film 'Look Who's Talking' is hilarious for ridiculously aged babies - I watched it for the first time in years a few months ago.

In one scene, Kirstie Alley's character is all shocked because her milk has come in and her boobs are massive and the baby is sat up in a high chair, smiling and cooing at her!

IsadoraQuagmire · 12/01/2015 14:23

I don't think anyone's mentioned this one: when characters are in bars, or even clubs, they all speak at normal volume and can hear each other perfectly. In real life you have to yell right into the other person's ear because the music is always so loud.

BallsforEarrings · 12/01/2015 15:17

People never seem to be at work! No matter what their job they are always in their local or the 'cafe' or something!

Likewise they never seem to arrange childcare even single parents just say 'ooh yes I can meet you tonight' without even thinking about the headache of getting someone to have junior at short notice!

BallsforEarrings · 12/01/2015 15:20

Also kids with mental health issues are instantly diagnosed by their GP who hits on the perfect meds combo straight away without years of assessments, heartache and tragedy!

The following episode - hey presto! Junior is better - FOREVER!

TRIPE!!!

Max in Corrie was playing up for about a week before he was diagnosed with ADHD and has been a little angel from the first pill.

Roussette · 12/01/2015 16:14

YourMaNoBra this is hilarious If you ever need to be somewhere "else" just say you're at the suppliers. No one will doubt you. I think I might try that one!

I laugh at the food served up in soaps round the table (particularly Corrie). When Sally serves one of her concoctions everyone including kids just sits there and no one moans they don't like it!

GallicIsCharlie · 12/01/2015 19:50

Last night I watched Silent Witness and thought of you all Grin

"Where would a 16-year-old schoolboy get hydrogen peroxide??" they asked, scornfully.

Turns out he'd staged a complicated fake burglary at a chemicals lab ... instead of just buying it from a hairdressing supplier on ebay or popping into Superdrug.

TheLastThneed · 19/01/2015 21:40

When they carry babies wrapped in a blanket. It may just be people in my circle, but I've never done it, nor seen it done IRL...

  • Characters whose jobs that usually involve working shifts - ie chef, waitress, Dr/nurse at hospital etc etc are always around nights/weekends/christmas etc when dramas/parties/funny incidents happen.
  • Or characters who do work at the hopsital are always there - whenever there's a medical drama of sorts involving a neighbour/friend etc (usually every 2nd day). see Tara in 'Sons of Anarchy.'
  • I remember in Neighbours ages ago a lawyer character was defending someone who was accused of hasseling/threatening his neighbour - surely it would've been a 'conflict of interest' and there are other lawyers in Melbourne ???
Oh and when theres a ph call another character will ask 'who is it?' 'It's mum ringing from Brisbane(or wherever).' Have seen this a couple of times and it is so stupid - who says that? normally you'd just say 'It's Mum.'
