Tiny little ladies beating the shite out of giant, hardened thugs. Even if they're a secret agent or a cop, you're not knocking out that 250 pound meathead with your fists or your feet.
The worst offender I've recently seen of this is that CW Beauty and the Beast show. My wife gets pissed at me for laughing every time the leading lady throws a punch.

Computer hackers knowing exactly how to hack into every system in a few key strokes
Computer hackers that are overwhelmingly good looking with well-adjusted, outgoing personalities (Angelina Jolie, Hugh Jackman). They also spend most of their free time skate boarding, rock climbing, throwing outrageous parties, and (this is the kicker) having tons of sex--not locked in their rooms with hot pockets, Monster, and Cheetos actually hacking.

A few that always bother me. They might be "obvious", but I haven't seen them mentioned:
Just once I'd love a high-speed case scene or a getaway car to hit gridlocked traffic or even a busy intersection or red light.
Every movie where a woman cheats it's because she's neglected and her arse clown of a douche bag boyfriend deserves it. Then she just gets to live happily ever after. And the guy realizes how much he misses her and admits it's his own fault she cheated. It's never just a selfish bitch who gets what she deserves. Seriously they spend entire movies setting up how justified the cheating is.
Good guys can shoot and kill any number of moving targets with one bullet from a pistol at 100 yards barely aiming with one hand.
Somoene gets knocked unconscious for hours at a time from one blow to the head and usually doesn't wake up until they get slapped or water thrown on them.

Bartender always wiping the glasses out with some nasty arse towel.
In a foot chase people can sprint for a 1/2 mile and not be out of breath.
All dirt bikes sound like 2 strokes.
People at restaurants never eat or drink what they ordered.

They do this on the bachelor/bachelorette too, drives my wife crazy.
It seems like Brad Pitt always eats in his movies though.
And one of the best scenes in Inglorious Basterds is the crepe scene.

I've always wanted to ask a Bach producer what's up with the food on the tables. They'll send some poor sap home, and their plates are still full. That's cold, man.

Scenes where people roll over in the morning and have this cute romantic talk about 2 inches from each others face and then they start kissing. Who does that after a night of sleeping? You better go brush your teeth and not even breathe in my direction until you do so and I will do the same.

Everyone that posts this has halitosis issues.

During gunfights or hand-to-hand combat, the main characters can receive multiple near-fatal wounds and are still able to move about and kick arse.
Meanwhile, the extra or the villain's lackey receives one punch to the abdomen or one shot to the shoulder and he/she is either incapacitated or dead.

The grizzled space marine.
Time travel movies having to explain their version of time travel rules.
People having sex, not taking showers, but being perfectly made up for work. Who the frick has sex and looks completely normal?
People being knocked out for 5 plus minutes and not having brain damage. It doesn't work like that.

Well there's an actual legit reason why people do that, many mentioned in this thread

Nobody says goodbye before they hang up the phone. They just hang up. Pretty dickish.
Also, why does everyone who grocery shops on-screen have french bread sticking out of the bag? Who sells unwrapped french bread?

romantic scenes with 100s of candles. Who the f has that many candles and by the time they are all lit, there is a mess of wax everywhere and you just dropped $800 to burn your house down.

Tires squealing when cars move at very low speeds.
When a character needs to shed a little of his own blood, it's always a knife to the palm, particularly when the hands are critical to what the character has to do next. Most recently, they did this in "Stranger Things".
Vomiting. Hardly an hour of TV or film goes by without a character vomiting. Adds realism, you see.

The good guy sacrifices himself to save somebody and then they have a big emotional death. At his funeral he's either far away watching or you see him in another location alive and doing well. It pisses me off when Hollywood does this. Why even have a big emotional scene and then shite on it with him still being alive?
