Unrealistic things people do in TV dramas that you don't really see in life.

[Lockdowner35]

I will start

When two people are having a conversation , sometimes there is someone always listening in on the conversation from round to corner , never happens in real life.

It was a police drama, Shetland I think, and the police were asking a woman questions while she pegged washing out! I've noticed since then police always seem to talk to people while they carry on with their day whereas I would be perched on the edge of my sofa (which would of course be boring TV).

Never slob out in front of the telly stuffing their face with pringles & scratching their arse.

Crystal decanters remind me of Mike Baldwin off corriee

Always keep their bra on during sex

They never sit on the bog and have a shit.

They never say bye on the phone, just hang up

They never accidentally speak over each other in conversation or need to say ‘pardon?’- unless it’s relevant to the plot in some way.

They never lock doors.

They never just lie around texting and watching telly

Never cleanup/ waddle to the loo after having sex.

@BabyLlamaZen.

When the sheet covers up the woman's boobs, but just around the waist of the man.

Go into a dark house and not switch the lights on
Sleep with curtains open
Have lights on at night without shutting curtains
Have sex but get out of bed with underwear on

@Cloverforever I was just about to type that haha! It really annoys me

When they finish a phone conversation they just hang up without saying bye or any other pleasantries. It's like they just hang up on the other person.

Go out of the front door and it's Autumn with all the Autumn leaves on the trees. Come home again a few hours later and it's bleak mid winter and also their hair has grown a couple of inches.

@BabyLlamaZen - it means when the couple are in bed. Woman is covered past her boobs, the bloke to just above his groin - but the sheet is perfectly smooth, no wrinkles, not untucked.

No one ever seems to say goodbye at the end of a phonecall - they just hang up. [confused)

No “anyway...ok then...well I’d best be off... ok take care...and you...yep, will do...yep...ok...love you too...bye then...bye...bye...bye...”

Argh! @Resistthethoughtpolice got there first!

Wander through a dark, ransacked house shouting “karen, karen?” or whoever instead of just waiting outside and calling the police on their mobile.

The man just enters the woman - no messing about - like she has been waiting ready all day.

@LubaLuca

Men pour whisky from a crystal decanter the minute they get in from a stressful day at work.

Mike Baldwin used to do that on Corrie every night.

'I'll see myself out'

People go on ‘sunshine holidays’ to places like Ibiza in.....Feb. It’s pretty much closed then, it’s lazy writing - at least the script writers could look and see that it would better in say Tenerife or Benidorm.

Ex travel rep so I notice these things.

The most frustrating one has to be when hitting/shooting/stabbing a baddie, the protagonist will always then throw the weapon on the floor and slump to the ground with their head in their hands when in real life you would keep hold of the weapon and get your ass out of there!

When they come home/walk into a house and all the lamps and lights are on. Who’s paying the electricity bill?

Every scientist knows everything about every branch of science.

In birth scenes the placenta just doesn’t exist
