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.

Actually not necessarily true about the waters breaking then hours to go because my waters broke and I immediately started to push and my baby was born 2 hours later but I understand what you mean about it always being done that way 😆

I've seen a funny video on Instagram about this type of thing in Netflix dramas especially. Ie "Ok off I go home, a secondary school teacher on a normal salary, to my massive house with a massive kitchen". Completely unrealistic!

Someone says "use your head " and someone else gets head butted

I seem to remember a lot of teen movies where teenagers were flinging themselves onto a bed on their stomachs, angsting and sobbing. Or lying there on their stomach on the phone or doing homework. Whenever I tried to lie on my stomach dramatically as a teen it was always too uncomfortable!

Maybe it's just me though, I never fitted in as a teen

Never paying a cab driver
Empty handbags and coffee cups
Grocery shopping is a baguette and bunch of celery

People with ‘normal’ jobs living in homes worth millions (like a police officer living in a mews house in Chelsea). Toddlers happily playing on the floor on their own while the grown ups engage in uninterrupted serious conversations

Babies being born perfectly clean and around 2 months old already.

You wouldn't dare?! If it was a phone call with me, I'd genuinely call back thinking we were cut off, and do the goodbyes again 😳

Volunteering to go alone to investigate the spooky noise.

Someone says "let's go" and everyone leaves immediately. No faffing about finding shoes/car keys, no last minute wee, nobody takes forever trying to figure out which coat to wear, nobody has to check their purse/make-up is in the bag they've picked up and not the one they used yesterday. None of that. Just : stand up, leave the house, done.

The L shaped bed sheets in post-coital love scenes to enable the man to be bare chested while the woman maintains decorum by covering her breasts.

But if they do get out of bed, he already has his boxers on and she has bra and pants.

Another one: sex in the shower. Nuh-uh. Nope. Nobody has a shower that big, and the hot water would run out halfway through.

Leaving every light onin the house all day. So coming home to every light on.

And they can pick up their giant suitcase in one hand and carry it without effort.

I'll add, always having perfect reception on their phones, anywhere.

The action/thriller ones where they can hack something in seconds or get a information in one click, in time to save the hero.

Timers counting down on bombs and the hero having enough time to run up twenty flights of stairs and do no end of other stuff, all within 30 seconds. Timer always stops with one second left.

That weird thing where the man holds the woman's chin between his thumb and forefinger while looking into her eyes.

Unrealistic survival rates after CPR.

Ordering food in a cafe and pushing it away after one mouthful.

Nobody ever charges their phone.

This made me smile. I've definitely done all of these!

Number of pregnancies where paternity is in doubt. Much more common on tv.
Labour always dramatic and never start off slow, always with massive pain and a huge waterfall. MMy waters were a small dribble and labour started with small amount of pain. Most tv births don’t make it to hospital

Women asking men "what are we going to do now?" in a crisis - thank you Reece Witherspoon.

You said angry not passionate 😃

And if they do pack a suitcase to leave, they just grab random things.
Also ..apparently anyone can take someone else’s plane tickets/place on a holiday at a seconds notice without rebooking

Oh..and people can take drugs ..especially cocaine..without it changing their behaviour at all.

Although I am speaking to you now, I won't tell you the important information until you meet me at the deserted jetty, where you will find me dead.

This! Annoys me every time. The very rare time they just have someone wake up normally from a nitemare I always take as a good sign that someone making this movie pays attention to details.

And really good, considerate and understanding fathers.

So many of these are true though. Fast labour. Holding a face whilst kissing. Sitting up after a nightmare.
