To get angry at tv characters pretending to drink from empty cups!

[HitsAndMrs]

Soap characters especially. They drive me mad. I can see that coffee cup is empty so stop pretending to drink it.

Does anything wind you up like this?!

Brecon - corrie does that all the time!! They live next door and still go to the cafe for a brew. Madness.

Sherlock - wow! He really didn't want to drink that tea

In Corrie I get irritated by watching Audrey and co faffing about while 'styling' customers' hair. They really don't have a clue.

Also, it's funny when they're rushed off their feet with a total of two customers I don't know how she affords to keep herself and pay David, Kylie and Maria / Aveline's sister!

Picking up what is supposed to be a full case when it's quite clearly empty by the way they handle it

I was an extra once on Famiy Affairs. I had to dance awkwardly to silence in a party scene as they added the music later. It was quite good fun, bopping away to nothing with a bunch of complete strangers! And there was a buffet we had to pretend to eat. We were forbidden from actually eating it as it had already sat about for 5 hours and doing so would lead to certain death!

Martin - I find that so annoying but funny to watch! They just play with the hair, biding their time..

David, Kylie and Maria / Aveline's sister

Roy's new fancy piece on Corrie will forever by 'the second our Aveline' in my eyes. Also she got over her obsessive hoarding very quickly as well.

That's another thing that gets me in soaps people getting serious health problems that come and go within a matter of episodes. Worst example was Alf Stewart in Home & Away who PTSD from his service in Nam for all of one episode, quick chat with Ailsa down the beach and he was fine.

I hate it when a character is pregnant, then at some point her waters break, or contractions start and suddenly it's a mad panic to get to hospital. I waited 9 hours after my contractions started before going to hospital. 9 times out of 10 they would send you straight home again!

Usually anything to do with a woman in labour annoy me. Very rare it's done realistically.

When friends casually walk in through doors that would be yale locked - Big Bang Theory I'm particularly looking at you!

Also, when someone's feeding a small baby, why are they rocking the baby back and forth. Why are they doing their best to make it sick.

People only give birth to perfectly clean 3 month olds.

Agree about the whole family all squeezed around one half of the table

Also when anyone is driving and they are moving the steering wheel left and right, like a child pretending to drive. Grrr, you would be swerving all over the road in RL

You never see anyone washing pots properly, they just give haphazard gentle wipes to the odd plate and leave them covered in suds.

Usually anything to do with a woman in labour annoy me. Very rare it's done realistically

Well typically a week in soaps is a couple of days right? I want to see a labour that takes a whole five days of episodes, where their has to be some kind of overdueness and induction...

I hate the fact that TV and film characters always arrive home to an empty house and all the lights are already on! I mean fucking hell, their electricity bills must be astronomical

why do I always seem to kill threads?!

You haven't MrsGideon it'll probably be me. i hate the way houses always seem warm enough to wear skimpy clothes. Why aren't they wrapped up in thick jumpers in the winter.

Haven't read the whole thread, so apologies for repetition - yes! This fills me with irrational rage. You can TELL the the cup is too light. Fill it with water ffs.

Glad it's not just me!

Why do they always put a cushion in their lap whenever they sit on a sofa.

Whenever they eat a sandwich or bread based food they always rip pieces off to eat it.

Whenever anyone goes for a romantic meal in a restaurant you know it will end in an argument that with one of them walking out.

They always repeat what the person on the other end of the phone is saying

The child is always sat at the table drawing. Yeah right.

Think I may spend too much time watching telly .

Gwenten... My sister always puts a cusion in her lap (it's a self concious thing about her tummy). And my DD quite often sits at the table drawing. Other than that - I'm with you!

Actors don't eat because if they did they'd end up eating a tonne of food by the time all the takes were done. Plus the food would be really cold and horrible. It is very very annoying though - and particularly annoying when they order/make food and then just leave it - who does that??

The one that gets me is when someone wakes up and starts slapping the pillow next to them only to find their partner gone. If their partner had been there they would have walloped them around the face, which isn't very friendly!

After reading this thread I noticed something about Coronation St. The accents are all over the place. Ken Barlow & David Platt have lived all their lives in Coronation St, yet Ken has an east Midlands accent and David a very pronounced west Yorkshire accent. Liz does too, but then she moved to the street as an adult, so could have grown up in Yorkshire.

Whenever there's a school teaching scene the teacher introduced themselves, writes their name in the board then the bell goes and all the students leave while the teacher yells a homework assignment at their backs! How long are their lessons? Six minutes each???!!
