[put out]

9. Many things, such as if you are in a bad place,

the first thing to do is to walk into the basement. It will be dark with no way out. You can also go into the attic. Or the woods. Do not have a working flashlight at any time.

If you are a teen aged person or a young adult, and especially a woman, if you have sex, someone will kill you.

If you drive a car getting away from someone or pursuing someone, you will jump a river or drive into a fruit cart, or a flower cart.

You parents will never understand a thing you do or say. If you are a young person, adults are clueless.

You will fall in love with someone disagreeable to your parents' wishes for you. They will not like your loved one and they won't get along with your love's parents.

How's that.

Oh, I forgot, if you get shot, you will get glamorous bandages and people will grieve until you make a recovery.

You won't recognize true love, and will deny it, until it's almost too late. Then you will be enlightened and confess your love, and be rejected. Then your loved one will change their mind, and return (get out of the car, get out of the limo, get off the wagon, not board the plane) and return to you.

It work this way for me, all the time...I'm tired..

What with the attics and basements and woods and love lost and found and family and the weapons and driving through sidewalk stands...

I've learned so much, and it comes in handy every single day.

12. Women in heels will run from the killer, and inevitably they will fall,

and die.

13. It is perfectly normal

for people to fall insanely, passionately "for life" in love within a few days, or even a few hours.

[hfojvt]

17. this is made easier, since when they do "fall in love"

one of them often dies before the end of the movie - Love Story, Terminator, Bourne Supremacy ...

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

14. Hero/Ward

If the combative protagonist (usually male) tells the ward (usually female) to stay and wait they won't do it and go for themselves enforcing a retarding moment in the story.

[zigster]

15. Amusing things

You will always manage to find a parking space directly in front of the entrance of the building you are going to.
