To get annoyed when people on tv

[LittleMissDonkeyonADustyRoad]

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

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

And many more

Please tell me I'm not alone!

When the cops need to ask someone a question and two of them go out, get into a car, drive to the person's house - and the person is always in - they ask the question, then drive back again to the police station. Why not just pick up the phone, ffs?

And all the people who leave their jobs on impulse, walking off into the sunset without anyone batting an eyelid, let alone saying hey, you're on a month's notice, you have to stick around.

There is a particular moment near the end of You've got Mail that really winds me up when Meg Ryan walks out of her house in a summer dress and little cardie (i.e. nowhere to put keys or purse etc) and NO handbag.

How is she going to get back into her flat, what if she needs money for a taxi, etc etc - it really truly winds me up! At least if she wore jeans you could assume that they had pockets for a key and money etc but not a little summer dress. Gets my goat everytime I watch it!!

I get annoyed when OPs dont write a complete sentence on their thread title!!!!!

When they say "Get knotted you prat" when you know in real life they'd be saying, "Fuck off you twat!" I know, watershed, still find it annoying and unrealistic.

In Corrie... where do people park their cars?? Is there a multi-storey round by the viaduct? Nobody has parking space, apart from outside the factory, yet when there is the need to rush someone to the hospital, they all pull up.

And (as mentioned re EastEnders) nobody has to commute to work, you just stroll over. The pub does a roaring lunchtime trade, then everyone goes back to stitching knicks and servicing motors, with a few jars in them.

And a wedding can be planned in approx 3 weeks, with NO budget, and you don't mind if your mam can't make it as she's off visiting a poorly relative...

I always say to DH I'd have liked to see the scene where the local gangster/ne'erdowell exchanged mobile numbers with the good meaning residents of the fictional street!

'Okay, right, new contact.... bad guy... yup 07..'

when someone drives in a car with a passenger beside them and the driver is chatting to passenger with head turned and not looking at the road ahead

or when someone is shown driving along a perfectly straight road but making stupid, exaggerated movement on the steering wheel

There's no such thing as a benign cough in TV land. A cough means the grim reaper is waiting around the corner.

How is it that they can always find a parking place exactly where they want ?

Yy, MrsSlocomb, they just take off. No visas, no reams of paperwork, ditto when they get married to someone from abroad (yes, you still need a visa).

In cities like London, New York, Paris, there is loads of abundant on-street parking, free of charge. And pavements and squares with almost no people, at, like, Christmas.

The bra in bed is to get around the American TV censor (you pretty much only see this in US shows) where you are not allowed to show female nipples.

Actually, the bra in bed is due to no nudity clauses in the actress's contract, which is why you see it in films as well.

In TVLand your switch on the wall turns all your lamps on. At the same time.

In TVLand nobody locks their front door. Or stops to check the oven is off or the lights are out. They just leave!

In TVLand nobody ever has a mobile that's run out of charge, or needs to go to a cash machine, or stops the other person in mid-rant and says "Hang on, I'm dying for a wee".

In TVLand people look perfect after sex, and not all sweaty and tousled and flushed. They never get cramp whilst they're shagging or go "ugh no gerroff, MOVE, you're squashing me, I can't breeeeeeathe!"

if the actress has a no nudity clause then they use body doubles. The bra thing is definitely about censorship regulations.

There is no censor, either, for fee-paying channels in the US (anything not ABC, NBC,CBS or PBS) so in many US imports, a bra in bed is due to an actress having a no- nudity clause in her contract.

Um, no, that is not entirely true, Nancy. Not at all. Actresses like Katherine Heigl and Mila Kunis have appeared in films with bras on in bed due to no nudity clause. No body double, either. They are not the only ones, either, Jennifer Aniston as well.

When a suitcase is obviously empty.

In 'Big Bang Theory' there is the 'poking at takeaway' thing.

They all sit around, having a nice banter and poke at their boxes of noodles.
Drives I mad.

Nobody ever goes to the loo before setting off on a long journey.

Airports suspiciously free of people, never any huge security queues and non-ticked passengers still able to go to gates.
