I'm watching geostorm atm.
Inventor of thing gets fired. Thing goes wrong and threatens the earth. Inventor is asked to sort it out and ultimately saves the day.

He was fired by his brother after being treated like shit at a hearing.

If that was me, I would of course ultimately fix the thing because I don't want to die. Obviously. But I wouldn't just say ok and go do it.

I would say my terms are reassemble that hearing and have the man that was so rude to me publicly grovel, say I was right about everything, plead with me to help then he gets fired. THEN I go fix it.

Horror films - go help the person who's been a twat to you and get killed for your trouble. Fuck that.

Have the chance to kill the baddie and ... Don't. Seriously? You get the chance to shoot him between the eyes you take it. You don't hit him with the gun, drop it next to him and turn away. That's stupid.

YANBU. Movies are really unrealistic and people just would not behave like that.

YABU and really, there's something fucking wrong with you. You should probably get help for that.

@CatJumperTwat

Everybody who's dying coughs weakly, no matter what they're doing of.

But also if they cough before the audience has been explicitly told they are dying, they are definitely dying.

This one really annoys me! When they smack the killer over the head and he goes down - great, well done! - and then they drop their weapon and turn away and scrabble futilely at the locked door or barricaded window or go to fuss over their injured friend. NO! You batter the fucker till he's not getting back up, and THEN you can do all of that. Grr.

We all shout “cut his head off” at the screen in those circumstances

I hate that people never eat their food! Meet someone in a cafe/restaurant/diner orders tasty looking food and leaves before eating. Gah...

People always live in spotless, spacious, chic homes that they could never afford in real life.

And in restaurants, people always have big arguments while waiting for their order to arrive. The minute it does, one character decides that he/she has had enough, and storms out in a huff, leaving the expensive dish untouched on the table.

Snap!

People who come into a house and don't put tge lights on.
Why?

Noone ever pays taxi drivers. They just jump out.
Particularly in London based stuff.

Noone ever fumbles for their keys at the front door

People always end mundane phone calls by saying 'I love you'. As if.

The idiot police, fbi, cia whoever, who never wait for back up. Just go into a building full of armed men armed only with a phone torch or similar !

The morning after two people have slept together and the woman (usually) gets out of bed pulls on her jeans (no knickers, no shower etc) puts her top on and just walks out to presumably go to work or somewhere.

Who does that?!

And they always manage to sleep late in the morning, in someone else's bed, even when the sun is shining brightly through the windows!

Haha yes! @IcedPurple cue man waking up and staring intently at sleeping woman who wakes up in a rush as she’s late for work, pulling up her jeans or hopping into stilettos while exiting swiftly out the door.

And despite the couple's long, torrid night of passion, her make up is perfect and her hair only ever so slightly disheveled, in a rather fetching manner.

Movie human behaviour : Person jumps into car and immediately drives off. Time elapsed : 5 seconds.

Real human behaviour : Person gets in car, fiddles about putting key in ignition, reaches for seat belt, faffs about trying to fasten it, looks for glasses, can’t find them, looks in glove box, looks on passenger seat, undoes seat belt in order to look down side of passenger seat, finds glasses, they’re dirty, cleans glasses, puts them on, refastens seat belt, turns radio on, oh god, bloody Adele again, retunes radio, phone pings, checks phone, replies to text, peers at self in mirror, despairs at grey hairs, starts engine, cleans windscreen, waits for gap in traffic, indicates, finally drives off. Time elapsed : 10 minutes.

Or is that just me?

@PlanetNormal agree. Add to that arriving somewhere, often in a rush and finding a free parking spot right outside wherever they were going.
Reality is driving around for a few minutes looking for a space, getting more stressed as it’s getting later, finding a space, then fumbling around with change or phone trying to pay for it. By this time, it’s really late.

No concerns about morning breath. Couple sleep together for the first time, wake and immediately start talking with their noses touching or start kissing.

And, on the subject of morning activities, couples that wake up and have sex straight away. Morning breath issues aside, am I the only one who wakes up and is desperate for a wee?!

I’m always surprised at how easy people find parking spaces right outside the buildings they’re visiting….in central London, LA?? No one has to circle the block endlessly or give up whilst furiously swearing!

Have you recently had a lift from my husband?

Tbf even if I phone my dh to ask something extremely boring I say love you at the end.

Women who fight with their long hair down.
In real life wouldn't you screw it up in a bun or pony tail to stop it getting the way?!?!

Also, wait for sat nav to warm up, put in details of destination...

If someone is getting on a plane somewhere you MUST stop them or they can never ever come back.
Equally if the Police find their suspect is at an airport they MUST get there to physically stop them - they can’t contact security to stop them boarding, or even the actual airport police (who have guns) to arrest them

Has there ever been a crime drama where the lead detective has not been taken off the case by a stroppy superior at least once?

Or drive all the way to the top of a multi storey car park.
