Things that happen in films that don't happen in real life

[LilyAnn13]

1. Sliding down a wall when in emotional distress
2. Swiping everything off the desk when angry
3. Starting to talk about your day when entering the house, before you've even checked if anyone is home e.g "Hi I'm home. You'll never guess what happened to me in the office today...."

Feel free to add.

swiping everything off the desk in a fit of passion!

Never needing to pop to the loo.

Having a lo paid job and amazing home.

Standing behind someone and talking to the back of their head whilst they look wistfully/moodily/sadly out of a window.

I did include that in my list, but I'm glad you're on board 😆

I mean, I've definitely dramatically slid down a wall when in distress. But I probably got the idea from a movie 😂

I'd add:

Rarely paying for items in shops/hot dog carts. If they do pay, it's always one note and somehow miraculously the right amount so no change given.

Being so ridiculously good with money everyone can afford £££ houses/flats on teacher salaries.

Every house is immaculate, perfect lighting, stunningly designed - even single guys who apparently are 'slobs'.

Buy street food. Take one bite. Throw the rest away.

Holding your lovers face with both hands while kissing them. I never understand why they do that in movies, very controlling / smothering behaviour

Not saying "goodbye" or equivalent on the phone. I'd feel really rude and probably have to ring back so they know I didn't put the phone down.

Sitting up in bed after having a nightmare

No one sneezes or gets the hiccups

Toothpaste doesn’t exist, teeth are brushed exclusively with dry, naked toothbrushes

Two extremes:

Having emotional maturity at a young age and able to explain their feelings in deep and complex ways.

Or unable to talk to each other at all.

Ending phone calls without saying goodbye. FFS.

Yeah that's totally unrealistic

Yes that drives me crazy too!!

Having an orgasm after about 10 seconds of sex with no foreplay.

Realising you're pregnant by randomly throwing up.

Waters breaking unexpectantly then going into labour, with a sudden rush to hospital, when in reality you'd have hours and hours to go.

Yes! That one is one of the worst!

No mess after sex . .

Just roll off , get up and get dressed.. byeeee

The "Big Misunderstanding". All signs point to him having an affair but he's really only been secretly meeting with a gorgeous dance instructor so he can surprise you with his amazing tango skills.

In real life....alas he really is shagging a stripper😕

Banging your head and your whole world changes. Then banging it at the end of the film and it changes back.

Oh dear I have slid down a wall when in serious distress.
Sometimes my DH does hold my face with both hands when kissing me.

Not pinning down the details when making plans on the phone, where when what time??

I do this in real life 😬😂

Walking around a house in the dark during a potential break in and not turning any lights on

Carrying wrapped Christmas gifts piled up out of a department store and straight into a taxi (while its snowing).

No carrier bags, no handbag, no slush or ice, no taxi queue, no taxis failing to stop, or nowhere to be seen

Parking, people can always park right outside where they need to go, even in big cities
