What scenes annoy you in TV shows/films?

[Cheesymonster]

For me it's when the police or FBI screech up to the "perp's" house, sometimes in a hostage situation, with sirens and lights blaring thereby announcing their arrival to the bad guy. Criminal Minds does this every week.

And when characters speaking on the phone hang up without saying bye

Oh and they never cover all the exits so the criminal juat legs it out the back door. Basics people!

Yes! And they check each room and shout "clear!" And I think, well you haven't even looked properly!

When everyone orders food in a restaurant then they dash out in a hurry without eating it. Or paying for it.

People in films and TV only ever pay for their food if there is going to be some piece of dialogue, or a joke, relating to the issue of how much to tip.

Agree with people hanging up without saying bye, and also organising to meet later but not saying where or when!

and when they go into houses in the night and its dark and they never swicth the lights on.. just walk around with a torch above their guns!

when the guns have infinite bullets

Average/unnatractive men in main roles who have steaming HOT wives

when they don't have to look for a parking space

When soap characters have an accident and spend weeks in bed in a private room in an acute hospital. Then get up and go home. Ronnie Mitchell and Sinead Tinker I am looking at you.

When someone is in hospital they always have a single room off a main corridor.

Not a scene, but I'm always annoyed that there is only one person with a name. For example, in my office we have about four people called Mark, but in TV and film land, there would only be one Mark. Unless there is Big Mark, Little Mark comedy mix up potential.

When two characters who are both experts in the same field feel the need to explain something very basic and obvious to each other:

Expert A: "Look! There's a small pool of blood here!"

Expert B: "Yes. We could use that to find DNA."

Expert A: "Then we could run it through the database and see if we can find a match."

when a character is walking though a desert and they throw their water bottle away when they finish any water that was in there!

they can run for miles being chased and not be out of breath!

How it's perfectly acceptable to be dating one sister and then to break up and go out with another. Or a best friend. Or a grandma or something.

Made in Chelsea I am looking at you.

coppertop, yes!!

When people answer the phone, listen for 5 seconds, then relay about 2 minutes worth of information.

When women sleep in bras, or wake up with a full face of make-up and perfect hair.

When everybody orgasms together. Every time.

when the baddies leave the room and run to get in a car, and then drive off - the good guys follow 15mins later, jump into a car and then are right behind the baddies

(James Bond.... i'm looking at you)

When there's a fight scene with more than one bloke fighting the victim...why do they all take it in turns to attack him and end up getting beaten up themselves? If they all jumped on him at the same time surely it would be more productive

Eastenders - who's looking after the children?

When someone presses a few buttons on a keyboard and hey presto! They've hacked into the NATO mainframe.

How nobody ever needs to look up a phone number, they just punch in a random sequence of numbers (usually too few) and start speaking within two seconds of dialling the last digit.

How the hero can run through a hail of bullets without being hit once. Or at least only in the calf or arm, when he will bravely soldier on until a pretty woman can tend to his suspiciously superficial wound.

How women can always sprint in heels and ball gowns.

On the subject of who's looking after the children - Friends. Ben is completely usurped by Emma, but you rarely see her either and yet both parents are free to carry on as before.

Sorry, going slightly off topic re actual scenes, more general divorced-from-reality crap:
Women who are on the run/stranded on an island etc who somehow manage to always have perfect make up, great hair and no body hair regrowth. I don't expect documentary-style realism but come on...

The obligatory baguette in any paper bag of shopping.
