When Betty is mad at Don because he forgets to pick up Sally, she yells, "Where are you?" on the phone. It's a land line. No such thing as cell phones. And even if this were a situation where someone said a figure of speech that did not completely apply, nobody would ever have a reason to say "where are you" until cell phones were invented.
That said, I still love the show.

Depends on who initiated the call. If Betty, then yes you are correct, but if Don...

Two in Man of Steel. They're both said by Lois Lane.
"So if we're done measuring dicks, can you have your people show me what you found?"
"What if I have to tinkle?"
Damn you David Goyer.

Star Wars - The Clone Wars season 1 every single episode: "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Possibly the worst movie line ever delivered:
"Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else!"

from one of my favorite movies..
"Frederick fricking Chopin"
just seemed out of place in the 1800's.

For Your Eyes Only, when Bond is about to dump Blofeld down a smokestack.

I disagree...I take it to mean "why aren't you here?" in this context.

I always have a problem when characters make vague or foreboding statements to another character (no one talks like that in the first place) and the two characters stare at each other in silence until the scene cuts. The other character is never like, "Ugh what? What do you mean?"
Happens a lot and always bothers me.
