You brought up all that sex stuff and didn't mention the biggest movie sex mistake, which is all the women that have sex without taking off their bras.

That and people French kissing right after waking up from an overnight sleep or nap.

And when after people frick the woman lays on the bed and wraps her tits up with the bedsheets. That's worse than them walking to the bathroom with a sheet wrapped around themselves right after sex.

Oh, and when someone gets a phone call to turn on the TV the person turns it on to catch an important story FROM THE BEGINNING! And it's usually already on the correct channel. "I'm standing outside the courthouse with such and so who is going to tell us..."

Some of the sound effects are so annoying. Every time someone brandishes a knife it makes a swoosh sound like it's scraping on a sharpener. Same for when they swing it at someone. Since when does a fricking knife make any sound?

Others like a gun cocking every time, car screeching even when there's no reason, and even if it's a freaking Pinto it sounds like a race car when driving.

And last but definitely not least is the women covering up when getting out of bed. So the guy just penetrated every orifice in your body but he shouldn't see it when you get up?

Main characters never seem to have blue collar jobs.
Everyone is some big time business man, even when it's not important to the story.
No one is ever a mechanic or maintenance man.

Bullets don't do near the damage they really do. Good guy gets hit in the shoulder, no big deal, right? If a bullet, especially from a rifle hits bone in that shoulder, (which it almost certainly will) it's probably fricked for the rest of his life.

This goes triple for any gun. In movies it's just as loud to point a gun as to shoot one.

No, it won't. Only maybe possible if the gas is sprayed into a mist. Otherwise the cigarette will just go out.

Very true. Asystole is not a shockable rhythm. Only Vtach and Vfib.

I never say "bye". My sign off line is "alright" or "alright (person I'm speaking with)". Sometimes I have to give it two or three alrights Matthew McConaughey style for the other person to get the message I'm hanging up.

Not a movie, but in the new detective type tv shows, they have 12 people on the case and every one of them explains the case one or two sentences at a time, taking turns and no one ever speaks over the other one.

That annoys the shite out of me about those detective shows. The absurd dialogue is the reason I don't watch any of them.

And the holographic keyboards and screens that all police departments seem to have.

Cars that blow up after a crash. That's BS!! Also firetrucks that pump water and are still moving.

Ex. ConAir scene.

Correlation: When looking through a file cabinet, the person thumbs right to the correct file within 3 seconds.

couple having sex. Then when morning comes, the woman has a bra on. I guess she woke up in the middle of the night just to put on that bra to be uncomfortable.

Usually I can tell when the conversation is over. Usually end it with ok sounds good or see ya then or thanks.

In older movies and shows, apparently if you wear dark sunglasses and/or throw on a trench coat, no one will recognize you.

One thing that drives me bananas is whenever they show anyone giving/getting almost any kind of injection-specifically anything into a vein.

First of all, a vein is literally millimeters thick.
Secondly, most veins are very close to the skin.

Why they show people jamming a 2" long needle at least 1-1.5" into an arm or the neck and an angle that 100% guarantees that even if you did hit the vessel you are absolutely going through the back of it absolutely grinds my gears.

Where the hell is all that drug going? I can tell you it's not IV.

A shot into the leg or shoulder muscle is of course acceptable.

You would have to drag on the cigarette and immediately throw it in the gas fumes to get it to light
