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.

Pretty much all the sex scenes!!

Teachers arriving at school in the morning at the same time as the children! Happens ALL the time and really irritates me as this just doesn’t happen in real life.

The police knocking on someone's door, and - every time -someone opens the door !

I have honestly done this. Just the once, and it involved a cat-sized spider leaping up the bed in three bounds. The memory of it still gives me the screaming ab-dabs.

My bug-bear is carrying an empty drink container and pretending it’s full of coffee. It’s health and safety gone mad.

Knocking someone out by hitting them over the head but not causing any serious damage.

Sex against the wall and vaginal orgasms.

Arriving in ER/A&E and having a team of doctors waiting for your arrival rather than hours and hours waiting.

People whizzing down the stairs first thing in the morning, fully dressed, with a bag over their shoulder (or a backpack;) grabbing a piece of lightly buttered toast from the toast rack - and waltzing off out with it. They don't sit down to eat it, they just walk out of the house with it in their mouth!

Never in my life have I ever seen anyone do this, and I've never done it myself. Who swans out of the house to the car, or the bus stop, or to walk down the street whilst munching on a piece of buttery toast? 😆

Move food around with your fork on a plate instead of eating it

Yes!! This is one I pick up on every time and it seems to happen loads in police/detective programmes/films

Another one! Everybody instantly knows peoples phone numbers..

Also, very rare to see anyone nipping to the loo to actually use it. Of course there will be scenes where people go to the bathroom to pull themselves together/ stare at themselves in the mirror etc

Being shot and getting back up as if nothing has happened.

Waking up with perfect hair and makeup.

Teachers never doing plenaries and just shouting the homework as the kids all charge for the door after the bell has gone.

Maybe they post it later on Google Classroom.

Rummaging through someone's personal belongings but failing to get caught by managing to put everything right the exact second they walk through the door, even though a split second ago the room was in chaos.

The one that annoys me is when drivers are having a conversation with the passenger and spends most of the time staring at their passenger.
It's unrealistic that they haven't crashed.

They also forget any babies or toddlers who live in the house.

Kissing during morning sex. Surely no one wakes up and wants their partners rank morning breath tongue down their throat.

If they do use the toilet they might flush it, but will never wash their hands. 🤢

Guessing someone's password by having a good think about it, after a couple of failed guesses.

My dc does this. I do also have very vivid dreams and have done this.

Mine is - in real life no one dresses in colours that complement the decor of whatever room they're in! I notice this often in films.

All adult members of the family going to the pub with no mention of who is looking after the kids back at home.

Man falls for woman who has been his fuck buddy.

In real life - once a fuck buddy, always a fuck buddy.

I would have totally agreed with you about that one but it genuinely happened to me a few years back. I had a terrible nightmare about something that was worrying me in real life and I did the full sit bolt up-right and scream while waking thing, while drenched in sweat, terrifying my sleeping partner. The next day after I was calm and back to normal I remember thinking 'wow, that was exactly like you see in the movies!' 😂
