Okay, subject change. What's a small detail in movies/TV that pisses you off? For me it's when people wear shoes on the bed.

When people get in the shower and then turn the water on.

I think about this every time Janet Leigh is about to die in Psycho

People with their scotch, just ready to drink all the time, in any room in a house or office. Very few people drink scotch like that in real life, but everyone in tv and film seems to!

well in media there's only three kinds of alcohol: bottled beer, a gigantic glass of wine, and scotch

Speaking of alcohol, people who go into a bar and order “a beer.” Apparently most bars just have one beer option.

People coming to a place, having a two-minute conversation, and then leaving.

(‘New Girl’ actually subverted this recently to great effect by having Schmidt turn back around after almost leaving and say something like, “Where am I going? I came here to hang out with you guys.”)

Not just any place. Somebody's home! Like "I traveled all this way to talk to you for 2 minutes."

hanging up the phone without formally ending the conversation. glasses with no ice or no condensation. Glasses or mugs that clearly have no liquid in them as the actor "drinks" from them.

When people make 'plans' but don't set an actual time or date or where they'll meet. It's in like every sitcom and romcom.

I HATE THAT. when they're like "I'll pick you up at 8?" WHERE. FOR WHAT

LIKE GIVE ME A DAMN ADDRESS UGGHHH

Now that I drive in a city I can't believe car chases. Drive as fast or as well as you want, people in L.A. are not going to let you into their lane.

When a character is stressed out, so as a sign of that stress, s/he either: (1) smokes a cigarette [but is otherwise a non-smoker throughout the entire rest of the film] or (2) goes to the bathroom and splashes water on his/her face. Literally no one has ever done that.

Text messages that don't show all the previous messages between characters

When women are given 'the sad cardigan' to wear as shorthand for depression, relationship issues, illness etc.

Related: When women are really, really, really sad they angrily cut their hair really short by themselves in a bathroom.

When characters, especially female characters who live in bustling metropolitan centers, enter their homes and don’t lock the door behind them. They just throw their keys on the table and go about their business. Like who would do that?

Women orgasming through penetrative sex at the same time as their partner whilst wearing a bra.

when they have a giant breakfast spread and then proceed to eat none of it

Folks who leave entire plates of food on the breakfast table when they’re in a rush.

Not that many ppl have the time or patience to cool a three course breakfast on weekdays to begin with & even if they did, the cook in the family would know better if everyone is habitually late https://t.co/QS3BdfiFKn

Someone makes a massive breakfast, all laid out across a big table and then main character just seems to grab 1 slice of toast, have a sip of coffee, and leave. RUDE.

Orange juice at breakfast time always decanted into a jug, everyone at breakfast with their hair and makeup done and smartly dressed, showering open mouthed under the spray, not saying goodbye on the phone.

Breakfast (particularly in America) is always scrambled eggs. And they have just walked into the kitchen at exactly the right moment when they are being plated up.

Someone always making a stack of pancakes for breakfast and then everyone just gets up and leaves and nobody eats them.

Breakfast scenes. Mam is slaving over an oven top. Theres 400 rashers and pancakes on the table and pans full of eggs. Some ungrateful bastard comes down, eats one rasher and leaves. https://t.co/Cluj8K3EjY

When people rush out before eating a full breakfast that their mom/dad/spouse prepared. Like, if imma spend the time whipping up some waffles, an omelete, coffee, the works, you better sit your ass down and EAT IT ALL.

Giant breakfast on the table for everyone but they’re late and leave and no one eats or cleans up. When they’re talking on their cell phone but the screen is not indicative of a call.

Not eating a bite of the huge breakfast that’s inexplicably waiting for them when they wake up. https://t.co/DBHcP24iK5

Or when they have breakfast and it's a giant spread with eggs, bacon, toast and pastries. When really, breakfast with kids is a bowl of chaotic cereal and mom running around asking everyone to put their shoes on.

When there is literally a huge dope ass breakfast food layout- like eggs, waffles, coffee, omelets, a full French bakery, a mermaid squeezing fresh orange juice in the corner- and the privileged teen grabs one bite of dry toast and runs out the door 😒😒 https://t.co/3nOKu3Jo9K

Similarly, when people even have time to make breakfast in the morning and everybody is awake... And the sun is up

1) Bad piano miming
2) Not saying goodbye before hanging up the phone
3) Carrying on with whatever you were doing while a police officer is trying to ask you questions about a murder
4) ridiculously huge breakfast spreads
