Does it ever annoy you when people in movies do stuff that you would never do in real life? Well, a while ago I wrote a post about unrealistic things people do in movies. The BuzzFeed Community came through in the comments with even more examples of times they didn’t really capture the ~human spirit~. Here are some of the best:
1.
“When two characters walk away to speak in private like 3 feet away from the group and miraculously nobody else can hear them even though they are talking super loud.”
2.
“After sex, the L-shaped bedsheets that covers a woman’s breasts but only go up to a guy’s waist, fully showing off his perfect upper body.”
3.
“Girls that fall asleep with a full face of makeup and wake up with no damaging effects to their pillow or smeared make up.”

4.
“Someone gets a call and is told to check ‘the news,’ and turns to the exact news channel without any prompts besides ‘the news.’ Unless it’s a huge global disaster, what are the odds all the news networks would cover the same story that’s relevant to the plot at the same time?”
6.
“Twenty villains with machine guns can’t hit the hero, who is taking them one by one with his handgun.”
7.
“OMG, seriously…when people just turn over and go to sleep after sex. Or cuddle?! Like, that shit turns cold fast! Hahahaha. I don’t wanna be the little spoon and have that on my back.”
8.
“When they plan to meet up for a date with someone they just met but no phone numbers have been exchanged and no location or time has been set.”
9.
“OMG, when a character (especially male ones) will give up on a career their parents (more namely, fathers) told them to do. Then, they proceed to say after, ‘I’m not giving up my dream (Dad) — I’m giving up yours.'”
10.
“Just all the generic food and beverage ordering in movies. ‘I’ll have a coffee/beer/piece of pie.’ And, of course, it’s served within seconds.”
11.
“I hate when someone JUST THREW UP but their significant other has no problem kissing them. And, yes, sometimes they’re throwing up not because they’re sick, but hungover. Brush your teeth first!”
12.
“Women never seem to have periods in apocalyptic scenarios. Like, they never need to worry about finding tampons and stuff.”
13.
“The killer while walking always manages to catch up with the running victim. (I can’t even catch up with my running 5-year-old daughter.)”
14.
“When the hero has to fight off a horde of henchmen, they always attack one at a time like they are waiting for their turn to get an ass kicking.”
15.
“They never brush their teeth properly! I’ve never seen a realistic teeth-brushing scene where the foam is filling up their mouth. They never rinse their mouths — just a quick spit and it’s done! I’ve never seen anyone brush their teeth so neatly in real life.”
16.
“People never make mistakes while talking. They never forget a word or just have random sounds come out instead of actual words.”
19.
“When they’re drinking at a bar and the bartender is totally cool with leaving the bottle of booze there for the customer to pour their own shots and drink the whole bottle.”
20.
“They never need to use the toilet. No one’s ever like, ‘Hold on — I need to pee before we leave.'”
21.
Finally, “People in movies always chew and then swallow their pills. Never looking at the label to see how many they should take and never have water with them.”
