What scenes bug you in movies?
I have two:
1. When people open up the fridge and drink right out of the milk container.
2. After shaving, instead of rinsing their faces, guys ALWAYS wipe off the shaving cream with a dry towel.
How about you?

Makes me miss the days of analog bands when tv audio could be "streamed" on its own band on small analog radios. Hell, if you can't SEE the video to begin with, may as well give us a way to just listen--cheaply.

They always find a parking spot right where they need it.
A female character running away from a bad guy always trips and falls down.
Conversations abruptly ending when a character just walks away.
Smart-ass children.

What woman thinks this is sexy or a good idea?
While I'm at it... do we have to hear every grunt and groan?... we know what they're doing.
Sorry, as a feminist, this has bugged me for ages.

2) When they are at a restaurant and order something to eat or drink and don't even touch it (and sometimes don't pay).
This not eating the food they prepared or bought has bothered me forever. The Gilmore Girls was a horrible example of this, although I adored that rapid fire banter. If you ever watch any ( or at least the ones I've see ) in kdramas they eat and drink like real people and excuse themselves to use the bathroom!

Character calls a cell phone and gets a busy signal.
Character goes to the sink for a glass of water and turns on the hot tap.
Character is awakened, called into work unexpectedly and doesn't even brush their teeth.
Farmer-Rick
(10,197 posts)Who run away in straight lines and on a smooth road. They rarely run on the sidewalk, run in sharp turns, or get behind a sign or divider. And why do they even stay on the smooth road when the ditches on the side of the road or forest are obvious obstructions to vehicles.

This is generally a massively lazy plot device. Also it is misogynist.
The ITD, for example, is told to not go out because 'the bad guys' are going to strike, but ITD has to go to the mall to see her friends. The bad guys capture ITD. Plot moves forward. Viewer stops watching.

Always chaotic. All eating. All gonna be late. Mother always dressed to a tee, scrambling to feed and rush people out.
