Unrealistic things in movies and tv shows that drive you crazy

When someone has an emotional scene or argument in a public restroom (there are so many scenes like this) and they plop their bag down on the floor by the sink and start crying or whatever. It makes my skin crawl and I can almost see the microbes.

As someone who works at a hospital:

-hospital sheets any color but white.

-doctors feeding, ambulating, transporting patients or even staying at a patient’s bedside! Create that expectation, Greys Anatomy, and leave it to us to explain why Dr. Jones didn’t spend the night at our son’s bedside following his surgery.

-using a defibrillator on a patient that has flatlined.

-not showing/making the storyline include other hospital staff besides doctors. In reality, patients see doctors very briefly during their hospital stay. More often they see the CNA, the RN, the NP, the PA-C, PT, OT, RT… Those are rarely shown and it not only glamorizes the doctors/surgeons giving the impression they single handedly run the entire hospital, but also creates the expectation that your doctor will do the same. They won’t.

-People giving birth to 6 month olds.

-CPR being successful so frequently. People who do recover from CPR being just fine and dandy the next day.

-this is a peeve of mine because I work with neonates, but the vital signs on the monitor not matching the age of the patient. A heart rate of 55 is totally normal for a person my age, but very alarming for a newborn.

They always easily find a parking spot in downtown where-ever-they-are.

Along the same vein, when somebody runs to the bathroom to vomit they kneel down on the floor and get really, really close to the toilet and it looks like they're practically drinking out of it. Gross! Nobody would ever do that.

On New Girl when CeCe is sick from too much booze, she is literally hugging a bar toilet. Admittedly I haven’t ever been in a lot of bars but I wouldn’t hug my own home toilet.

I kneel in front of the toilet and rest my forearms on the toilet. But that’s only at home. If I’m puking in public toilets I put a seat cover or at least toilet paper both on the floor for my knees and on the toilet seat. (This doesn’t happen a lot - I just get migraines sometimes and they involve puking.)

What drives me crazy is the dark, moody lighting in a hospital room, or police interrogation room, or wherever. These places are *flooded* with fluorescent light in real life.

This always bothers me, too! Also when someone sits down on a public toilet with their clothes on because they need to think - it is so gross and I really hope no one is actually doing that.

I guess the thing about hugging the toilet when you're puking is that you're so wasted, by the time you're doing that, that judgment and hygiene might not be top of mind.

I love morning sex. You just don’t do it facing each other.

Gay male couples have a lot of perks

Uh, you do know that straight couples can do it from behind, and that gay male couple can do it face to face, right?

You can but I would guess it isn't pleasant for most women. I hate it with a passion

You know I'm still talking about PIV, right? You can do that from behind, not just butt stuff.

Where are you supposed to put your bag? What do you really think is on the floor? Do you know of anyone who has ever become ill from the bottom of their purse? I truly don't know how some people get through the day--life must be a series of terrifying obstacles for you.

Then you need to clean your toilet better.

I’m guessing you’re not a fan of sex generally…

I can multitask! I can cry while holding my purse.
