When the mother of the house has spent four hours making breakfast for the whole family with like 3832523 ingredients that cover the entire kitchen table and the dad or son or whatever walks by, grabs an apple and says they don't have time to eat because they're late for work. I'm pretty sure that person could be legally murdered in real life -
6.
No need for cleanup after sex. -
7.
In movies with any kind of trial scene there's always a dramatic moment where one of the attorneys presents a witness or piece of evidence that completely changes the course of the trial. Something that neither the judge or opposing attorney knew about. Like sorry buddy, but the discovery deadline was a month ago -
8.
A girl waking up with perfect hair and a face full of perfectly done makeup. I don't care how pretty of a girl you are you don't wake up with perfect hair. -
9.
Lead actor sits down at bar: "Get me a beer." Movie Bartender: *silently gets beer* Real-life Bartender: "What? What kind of beer? We've got 20 beers on tap and an extensive bottle list. Do you want a menu or something?" -
10.
When the girl that the main potagonist likes doesn't like him back, so the main potagonist bothers and stalks her for so long that she finally falls in love with him. In real life she would probably call the police. -
11.
Whenever people play something back, be it a tape recorder, video recording, or whatever, they can always fast-forward or rewind to EXACTLY the point they want, with perfect accuracy. -

Guns with no recoil and not going deaf despite not wearing hearing protection when firing that M4 indoors singlehandedly and taking down every bad guy with one shot per guy and no reloading... -
17.
Characters can hear every word of dialogue perfectly in a noisy environment. Captain frantically whispering to the private - "I need you to charge that machine gun nest." Private - "um actually I can't hear you I'm completely deaf from 3 hours of constant gunfire." -
18.
They don't make keyboard mistakes or have to backspace. Movie characters get it on the first shot, whether it's sending a text or hacking into the Pentagon. -
19.
I've never seen anyone apprehend criminals while causing millions and millions in damage to the city. -
20.
The phone only rings to move the plot along. IRL my phone only rings due to scammers or bots calling from an Arlington, Va number. -
21.
People shrugging off a flesh wound like it's nothing. They even say "It's just a flesh wound." The movie Last Action Hero does a good job of mocking this by having Jack Slater incur a flesh wound in "the real world," and it's a big deal. But then he goes into the movie world and it's barely a scratch. In fact, Last Action Hero has a lot of examples, like people being able to punch through car windows, or the women working at Blockbuster being way too attractive. -
22.
Will power seems to be greater than any injury in every movie. 4 broken ribs, countless lacerations, and eyes swelled shut probably wont be remedied by the time you are fighting the next wave of baddies. -

26.
People waiting their turn to talk. Imagine a realistic drama where one character confronts the person who wronged them, and about 2 sentences into their big, inspiring, mic-drop moment, the other person cuts them off with "Go f***k yourself, a**hole". I mean, I've had my share of arguments. Not many people sit patiently through several paragraphs of well thought out reasons why they're wrong. -
27.
Dreaming of kissing a beautiful woman but are actually being licked by an animal. OR Breaking Through a Window Unscathed. -
28.
Highschoolers very openly and obviously throwing house parties or going to clubs and getting wasted. Being drenched the second they walk outside while raining One person running in and saying something along the lines of "omg i have to tell you so and so...." getting interrupted by the person they want to talk to saying "i don't have time for this" and leaving. Of course you're going to want to know why someone needs to obviously and urgently tell you something. -
29.
The way actors dramatically circle each other while they're having conversations. It's something stage actors are taught to do to make the scene more dynamic, but it's not something people ever actually do in real life. Imagine chatting with your buddy somewhere and he just starts circling you mid-conversation: "So anyway, I think we should . . . uh, where are you going? What is happening right now?"
