Unrealistic things in movies and tv shows that drive you crazy

Emergency Room scenes: entire families waltz into the ER desk staffed by a white uniformed nurse and immediately get detailed updates and access to patient’s room! Mary’s been admitted! She’s doing fine after being in that terrible car crash! And, she had a baby boy! He was deleivered in the ambulance! She’s in Room 1-B talking with Dr. Smith! Yes, you may all race to her bedside with your helium balloons and gift baskets that you’ve somehow obtained en route to the hospital.

And speaking of medical dramas: when someone is brought into the ER after falling off a ladder or something, and during the x-ray it's discovered they have ... KNEE CANCER! That spill saved their life. The patient is immediately sent to surgery and when they wake up, all the ER staff is there because they care about the patient so much. And one is probably going to date the knee cancer survivor because, hotness.

I hate how people can instantly log into any random computer and the passwords and they instantly can find whatever information they are trying to steal. Five seconds, they are in and they find exactly the files and boom they are off before the gunmen storm the room.

I never saw a computer that was that quick.

The easy ability to park on the street directly in front of any place you're going.

This has bothered me since I was a young kid. The first thing we do is wash our hands when we come home.

I don’t actually think this is unrealistic. That’s definitely not the first thing everyone does.

It's unrealistic for me. It's was the norm for me, my parents, and their parents. It's also what I have taught my children. Maybe it's culture (we are Black) or regional (parents are from the south), but all my friends and family wash their hands when they come home and before eating or cooking.

I do realize that others don't do this. Its one of the reasons I will never eat at an office potluck.

Yes and do cops wear cop hats in real life?

I didn’t read everything but when they never deal with the mess after sex.

Tornadoes

Man of Steel - the Superman movie where Jonathan Kent dies in a tornado so that Clark doesn’t reveal himself. NOBODY raised in tornado alley would stand in the middle of the road and wait for the tornado. They’d jump into the ditch at the side of the road, lay flat, and if possible cover their heads/necks.

Bullets being stopped by a car doors and everyone at whatever secret intelligence agency watching the live fee from an operation(and it’s on a gigantic tv).

Ok, but this is like saying it’s unrealistic to portray people living in Wyoming simply because you don’t live in Wyoming.

Yes, I'm Asian. One of the first things I do when I walk into the house is washing my hands. Not my white DH though!

Random examples:

Halloween (1978) - palm trees and brown hills in Illinois

Fugitive (1993) - 400’ dam in Illinois

True Lies (1994) - chase in DC features LA skyscrapers

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) - family sets off on their trip from NM to LA; early scene in the van was clearly filmed on I-5 just north of LA with CA highway signs clearly visible out the windows.

This stuff has always bothered me.

This bothers me too! Every “middle east” scene is shot in Morocco and it’s super obvious.

The really nice neighborhoods most people live in.

NYC apartments — all of them.

Kids living in totally walkable neighborhoods and able to roam at will at very young ages.

This isn’t unrealistic outside the US.

Agree. Should have said “shows set in the U.S.”
