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 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

This really shreds my nerves, I literally yell "look at the fucking road" at the TV when this happens.

Maybe they're really bad drivers Theoretician? My DGF used to turn around to chat to me and my sister in the back of the car when he took us out - it was terrifying and so we just never talked to him. He used to think we were sleepy on the ride home but we were just scared stiff!

They buy houses without any need for paperwork or anything requiring a legal or official input. Same non rules apply to renting.

The houses are tardis like, they have two or at a push three rooms downstairs and an infinite number of bedrooms upstairs. Never ceases to amaze me just how many people can be housed comfortably in a small soap land house, the housing crisis would be solved overnight with just a handful of these marvels.

Yes to the "I need to tell you something" scenes - aaagh.

It's always, ALWAYS annoys me when the 'victim' is being chased down a flight of stairs by the 'baddie' and they STOP ON THE STAIRS AND LOOK UP - wasting precious, maybe life changing, seconds! Would I do that? Errrrr, no, actually! I'd run like buggery until I found somewhere safe! Stopping on the stairs!? Tut!

*annoyed!

No-one owns a washing machine and they all use the launderette.

People are "skint" then go to the cafe for a fry-up or pub for a drink.

I have those "look at the fucking road!" moments too.

The worst thing is - I know people who do this in real life! I keep turning away if they look at me - thinking desperately "don't look at ME! Look at the ROAD"!

They surely must remember what happened to Rachel in "Cold Feet" when she looked away for a second to change the tape in her car tape deck...

Oh, god yes! The 'look at the fucking road' thing. I always think it'll be another Cold Feet.

In soapland when 1 person turns up you can be guaranteed the rest of the family will follow suit.
The way everybody cant have a relationship without getting married.Ian must be on his 100th wife by now.And thats another thing who would marry Ian.Ugh.
And then they cant get married without some big drama.

It bugs me when no-one makes proper plans. It's like when someone gets asked out on a date:

"you wanna go out for dinner tomorrow?"

"yeah ok, that'd be nice, thank you!"

Umm....where? What time? Who's driving??

How when people 'look at the books' in eastenders they look at an actual book

How when people lose their jobs in ee or corrie they freak out and never consider the possibility of seeking employment outside the square or street.

How there's never a wet patch or come towel (or penis beaker!) Whenever couples finish having sex and just casually pull their clothes back on I always think that they're both going to end up with seriously wet pants!

Yeah modern family is a mockumentary so blurring is used as a comedic device rather than being actually required. (I love Modern Family but sometimes think it would be better if it dropped the Mockumentary thing...)

Yes to the not looking at the road thing, but also the lack of seat belt wearing! There's been loads of dramatic scenes where I've not properly concentrated because I'm thinking "just fasten it. It takes a second. FASTEN IT"

If something tall is falling down then people will try to outrun it rather than go to the side to avoid being squashed.

Also in soaps whenever someone is really upset they down loads of NEAT vodka, or whisky but only for men. Fucking Hell even on the worst binge of my life I always managed to find a mixer of some description.

People in TV land NEVER tell their nearest and dearest that they have a serious illness.

Also people never turn lights on when looking for the baddie, or they know they are on the killers list, hear a noise outside so go out to investigate in the dark, leaving the front door wide open/unlocked, then come back in and lock the door behind them to see the baddie standing there - duh!!

Chefs (especially Monika in friends) seem to have all the time in the world, my husband is a chef and he is never home!

And people with kids seem to have loads of time as well!

When someone buys a house or business, or does a house swap, all the legal stuff must get done overnight because they move in the very next day! If only!

Recently in Coronation St when Eileen at the Cab office discovered that Steve had spent everyone's wages on restoring his car and they hadn't been paid, she made copious use of the word 'Flipping' to express her shock and anger.

In real life she (and I ) would have turned the air blue with copious use of the word fuck. In my head when a character says 'flipping heck' at a moment of acute anger, I mentally translate it to 'fucking hell' likewise ' he's a flipping idiot' - ' he's a fucking twat/dick/cunt'

I hate how in some soaps (Hollyoaks) they focus on a storyline for a couple of weeks, then totally forget about it and come back to it later. Someone has been tied up in a basement for a few weeks now and we've not heard anything about it since Christmas Eve.

Magic phones, Kevin Bacon in The Following: runs outside after a suspect to see the suspect driving away, within two seconds manages to, takes his phone from his pocket, point it at the car, and click instantly takes a photo of speeding away vehicle- a crystal clear high resolution photo no less.

And in the real world - fumble phone out of pocket or bag, open stupid case thing, press button, do swipy key lock thing, redo swipy key lock thing after first one goes wrong, scroll through apps for camera, press, wait for camera to come on, get car now long gone in viewer thing, take picture - blurry picture of speeding away car.

Kevin Bacon obviously doesn't have a Samsung.

There was one particular episode of Peppa pig which enraged me

They are meant to be going to the seaside but wake up and it's snowing, the bus shows up (they don't expect it too in the snow) so they go out of the house without any stuff (coats, picnic etc) and leave the front door wide open, you can see the door is open when the bus leaves.

I know I know it's not real

Peppa pig is banned in our house since I totally lost it at the beauty spot episode (silly daddy loses his keys down at a beauty spot and they use a big fuck off digger to make an enormous crater in said beauty spot and retrieve keys. And then they all fall about laughing. Stupid idiots.)

This really shreds my nerves, I literally yell "look at the fucking road" at the TV when this happens.

I was just about to say exactly this! I get anxious on behalf of all in the car.

In relation to wet patches and so on, I'm quite happy not to see that on tv .
