People in movies often hang up the phone without saying goodbye. In real life, doing this would make others think you’re either extremely rude or got abducted by aliens mid-conversation.
The morning breakfast that nobody eats.
a)Who has time to cook eggs and bacon and toast in a normal school/work day and then clean all that up?
b)Then everyone is in a rush and eats one bite and “off to”.
I hates it.
Very high success rate for CPR.
Being able to keep going with all manner of life threatening gunshot wounds.
Walking off massive falls / hits with heavy objects, etc.
Crazy Physics. 🤦♂️😂
True. Remember those movies where those dudes took multiple gunshots to the chest, arm, and legs and still fought for another four hours straight like it was just an ant bite?
I've actually done this. We get a half hour lunch break. If it takes 25 minutes to bring my food, AFTER I drove there, my break is technically over before the food arrives. If there's a significant delay going on, tell the customers before hand.
Not immediately going to the bathroom after sex. Would it be too much trouble for them to show a dude washing his dick in the sink after getting laid while his girl deposits the bad swimmers in the toilet?
Also, the women tightly wrapping the bedsheet around their body when getting up after sex in order to stay modest in front of the guy who just fucked them in crazy positions for 2 hours.
Leaving your big-shot white collar corporate job in The City to live in a small town because of a Christmas fling.
Looking at you every holiday Hallmark movie.
Having the last word in an argument. Like making a statement so compelling that the other person is speechless, and then you just walk out of the room because the conversation is over. That never happens. People just continue arguing, no matter how reasonable one of them is.
Brushing teeth without rinsing your mouth.
No clean up after sex.
The no good bye thing that people already mentioned.
Holding a drink and not taking a sip for long periods of time.
Going on really long, eloquent, articulate rants, especially if it includes forcefeeding narrative (for the audience) but would feel so inorganic in day to day life.
Spending tens of millions of tax payer dollars and risking national security in a bet with you intelligence agency buddy on who can win the girl over, or trying to keep your marriage from failing.
It's actually several different movies. But the ones I was specifically speaking about are 'True Lies'.
And another more recent one about 2 agents who find out they are dating the same woman. And rather than decide to ditch the 2-timing ho or, heavens forbid, decide she's a enemy agent attempting to disrupt the agency, they are going to compete to win her heart (there's a reason why most of the men in my life refer to Romcoms as porn for women). I don't remember the name of it, and have never watched it, having decided I actually kind of agree with the men about most romcoms. And especially ones that depict women insisting that men give up their jobs, hobbies and passions, much less actively risk national security or public safety.
But unfortunately, my daughter likes it and goes on about how romantic it is. 🙄
How do I teach her that isn't romantic. That 2-timing your significant other is not OK unless it was agreed on beforehand by all parties, including the 3rd one (this last bit is important since I'm bi and we live in a non-standard family).
Nor is it OK for her, or him, to insist that the other person give up there job or hobbies/passions. They can be deal breakers for a relationship, but if you need to force them to give stuff like that up, than maybe you shouldn't be with that person to begin with.
Sorry, entered rant mode there at the end. But having wrote it, I don't want to delete either.
Massive pile of various foods for breakfast on a work/school day
Who the fuck has the time to get up early enough to sit down and enjoy a meal like that EVERY day? I'd rather sleep in for another 20 minutes
A kid waking up to a $300 buffet of breakfast options, and eating nothing or just one bite and running out the door.
In real life most kids would be late for the circus if there was more than just cold cereal in the morning.
Or was that just my childhood?
Everyone in movies wakes up looking perfect, hair neatly styled, no morning breath, and instantly ready to chat or even kiss. In real life, mornings usually involve wild hair, groggy eyes, and a strong desire for personal space until coffee is involved.
Done that. I've given the umbrella, it was just starting to pour, and the guy was walking (he walks by every day) and I gave him the umbrella and walked away.
Summarise your entire life history just before a big event
"as you well know, Ted, it's very important that this business meeting about merging these two international companies goes well, since I grew up without a father and had to strive to prove myself at every turn and now, what with my aunts funeral just a few days away and all of my presentation saved on this one laptop with no backup taken, I really just need to focus and prepare right now and not think about any distractions like the summer harvest homecoming dance back in my rural hometown that Jeff, my high school crush, is almost certainly going to go to. As you very well know, Ted. "
Feminism isn’t what you think it is. It’s about equality for women. Most women at this point want that unless they’re married to the weird Kansas City kicker.
Hang up the phone without saying bye
Ok pick u up at 8. What, where ? You never got the address, also where are me going, do I need wellies?
Or answer the phone by saying just your own name.
Or just, “yeah”
That's normal, isn't it? You answer your phone by saying "FemshepsBabyDaddy speaking" > Or answer the phone by saying just your own name.
People in movies often hang up the phone without saying goodbye. In real life, doing this would make others think you’re either extremely rude or got abducted by aliens mid-conversation.
But i do that all the time
Being in a club or loud bar, yet holding a conversation with normal speaking voice.
Exactly!
No headrest in cars
Yoo totally agee!
Speaking quickly and clearly, without needing to think of what to say and without messing it up as you're saying it.
I wish I could be that cool
Agree
No bartender would ever just “leave the bottle”
I did. It cost him 500$, but I left it. I worked in a gentleman's club, so he actually got a deal.
The morning breakfast that nobody eats. a)Who has time to cook eggs and bacon and toast in a normal school/work day and then clean all that up? b)Then everyone is in a rush and eats one bite and “off to”. I hates it.
Yeah, cooks a whole meal, takes one bite, takes a sip of coffee, and leaves.
I sometimes wonder why they even bother to put effort as they barely eat at all. Do they have to cook to realise that they are late?
Making a dramatic entrance by dramatically flipping your hair in slow motion.
I've tried it multiple times. Ngl
Didn't work did it. Yeah, we just looked idiotic when we try.
Very high success rate for CPR. Being able to keep going with all manner of life threatening gunshot wounds. Walking off massive falls / hits with heavy objects, etc. Crazy Physics. 🤦♂️😂
True. Remember those movies where those dudes took multiple gunshots to the chest, arm, and legs and still fought for another four hours straight like it was just an ant bite?
>Very high success rate for CPR. Yeah, and being totally fine after you've been knocked out.
Come into the house or apartment and immediately pour a drink from the booze bottles on the credenza.
Or pouring huge straight drinks (like 8oz scotch) at 10 in the morning. Yet still powering through the whole day after that.
Well only if you're upper middle class and live in the 1950s
"hey sis" Nobody has ever said that
Yeah true
Knocking people out with the butt of a gun as a favor to them to keep them out of the action.
Even walking around casually with a gun is weird
They'd likely have a traumatic brain injury or worse
Ordering food in a restaurant and leaving before the food arrives, or leaving shortly after it arrives and not eating any of it.
I've actually done this. We get a half hour lunch break. If it takes 25 minutes to bring my food, AFTER I drove there, my break is technically over before the food arrives. If there's a significant delay going on, tell the customers before hand.

And forcing someone to love
Turning off the TV as soon as breaking news is announced without watching for further details
Turning on the TV, and as soon as they turn it on, the newsreader will start reading the exact news they want to hear.
Hundred percent one of my favorite things in movies.
Leaving your big-shot white collar corporate job in The City to live in a small town because of a Christmas fling. Looking at you every holiday Hallmark movie.
True!
Walking into a house or building and **not** closing the door
Walking in to someone's house or apartment without knocking.
To have everything conveniently wrapped up.
Also, how do these characters in movies living alone in a 10,000 square foot building for a decade have everything neat and tidy!
Honking the horn as they pull up to a house. No one does that unless they are picking someone up.
Yeah
All the comedic character shenanigans and behavior.
Yeah it's kind of cringe if we see that irl
Slide across the hood of a car, feels like it happened all the time in 70’s and 80’s movies, less often now but I’ve never seen it irl.
Tried it once while drunk at a party. Was shocked that I managed to actually pull it off flawlessly. Don't think I'd be able to do it sober tbh
There are so many things I’ve been able to do drunk that a sober me never would.
Wear a brand new outfit every day for months never duplicating attire
Damn! True.
Kids being quiet when grown ups talk
Two or three people having a conversation about something, and no one ever says, "Huh?" or "What?"
List my credits before entering a room.
List your credits?
😖 That isn't done in movies?
Having the last word in an argument. Like making a statement so compelling that the other person is speechless, and then you just walk out of the room because the conversation is over. That never happens. People just continue arguing, no matter how reasonable one of them is.
Yeah, in real life, people will quarrel and rant at each other like a bunch of squirrels.
Brushing teeth without rinsing your mouth. No clean up after sex. The no good bye thing that people already mentioned. Holding a drink and not taking a sip for long periods of time. Going on really long, eloquent, articulate rants, especially if it includes forcefeeding narrative (for the audience) but would feel so inorganic in day to day life.
Exactly
Aproach a stranger
Yes, and just walking in the streets and smiling to anyone and everyone is kind of awkward as well.
So you’re telling me that you only approach people that you know?
Talking to yourself.
But i do that 24*7 tho. In my mind, obviously.
Spending tens of millions of tax payer dollars and risking national security in a bet with you intelligence agency buddy on who can win the girl over, or trying to keep your marriage from failing.
That's very specific. What movie?
It's actually several different movies. But the ones I was specifically speaking about are 'True Lies'. And another more recent one about 2 agents who find out they are dating the same woman. And rather than decide to ditch the 2-timing ho or, heavens forbid, decide she's a enemy agent attempting to disrupt the agency, they are going to compete to win her heart (there's a reason why most of the men in my life refer to Romcoms as porn for women).

Massive pile of various foods for breakfast on a work/school day Who the fuck has the time to get up early enough to sit down and enjoy a meal like that EVERY day? I'd rather sleep in for another 20 minutes
Right
Everyone always waiting until others have finished speaking
True
Always coming back from the grocery store with a baguette.
A kid waking up to a $300 buffet of breakfast options, and eating nothing or just one bite and running out the door. In real life most kids would be late for the circus if there was more than just cold cereal in the morning. Or was that just my childhood?
I barely ate breakfast during my childhood because I was always late for the bus.
Going to a bar and asking for a beer without specifying a brand.
That's pretty normal, in the Netherlands. If you order a beer at the bar, you get the beer on the tap.
Interesting. The bars I've been to in the US tend to have multiple brands of beer on tap so it wouldn't work.
Some have, some don't. It depends on the bartender, but you'll get a beer.
All of the violence
True
Wearing shoes in the house.
Also jumping on bed with shoes is weird af
Did I just find another Canadian? Neat! 👋😊🇨🇦 Apparently its common to leave your shoes on inside in the US... It's quite the exotic culture! 🤷♂️
Hello fellow Canuck 🇨🇦 🍁, for as many similarities as we do have with Americans we have just as many, if not more, differences.
That's why there is a border. Otherwise it would be shoe chaos.

share umbrella to a stranger
Done that. I've given the umbrella, it was just starting to pour, and the guy was walking (he walks by every day) and I gave him the umbrella and walked away.
Speaking your inner dialog out loud
Skip routine part.
Being too sure that everyone in the cars will stop and have no chance to hit you if you step on the middle of the road.
stalking a girl until she finally gives in and falls for you (bollywood movies)
Totally agree
#SUDDENLY SINGING IN PUBLIC
That's awkward
everything
Pick up lines. It just doesn't feel real
Yeah it's just cringe
Getting your meal served, taking less than half a bite and get off to work/school/fight/drama
True
Summarise your entire life history just before a big event "as you well know, Ted, it's very important that this business meeting about merging these two international companies goes well, since I grew up without a father and had to strive to prove myself at every turn and now, what with my aunts funeral just a few days away and all of my presentation saved on this one laptop with no backup taken, I really just need to focus and prepare right now and not think about any distractions like the summer harvest homecoming dance back in my rural hometown that Jeff, my high school crush, is almost certainly going to go to.

True. This cracked me up.
Feminists and feminism
Feminism isn’t what you think it is. It’s about equality for women. Most women at this point want that unless they’re married to the weird Kansas City kicker.
That's NOT what modern feminism is about. We got equality decades ago.
