“Digging Graves In Wooded Areas”: 50 Fake Things That Happen In Films That Annoy Audiences

Whenever some idiot is running on foot while being chased by a car that's trying to run them down, they without fail ALWAYS run straight down the middle of the street, when all they have to do is simply run off to the side where there's trees and lamp-posts and plenty of other s**t to block them from getting hit.

In that case, I always root for whoever's driving.

That everyone in a Tom Cruise movie is the same height or shorter than him...

When someone is "driving" and they look away from the road by looking at the person in the passenger seat for a prolonged amount of time, or when they're constantly turning the wheel and the car doesn't move, things like that bother me too much.

Digging graves in wooded areas.

Setting off Fire Alarm / Fire Sprinklers.

1. Pulling a fire alarm will not activate fire sprinklers

2. Setting off a single sprinkler head will not set off the entire system. Each fire sprinkler has either a glass bulb with heat sensitive liquid or a metal fusible link. You need to essentially break the bulk/link on each individual sprinkler to allow the water to flow.

3. The water leaving the sprinkler system will be black from the years of corrosion that occurs inside due to the stagnant water, you do not want to be around this water when it comes out.

I design these systems, I know how this s**t works.

When getting shot, stabbed, bones broken and beaten seems to have no physical detriment on a character. Get shot in the leg? Still able to run. Stabbed in the back? Still able to finish a fight. Ridiculous.

Men surviving in the wilderness: Unrecognisable, overgrown hair and beards.

Women surviving in the wilderness: Perfect hair, no need to shave at all.

Homes are always spotless and ridiculously large.

When there's a big fight scene and all the bad guys attack the protagonist one at a time whilst the rest just stand at the side. If you wanna win, all attack at once!!

Women's hair is always perfect after a crazy action sequence. They're also wearing heels ALL THE TIME. No matter what crazy stunts they're doing.

When the brilliant detective can solve the case—but only if someone is willing to repeat the random thing they just said.

>Friend: I just had diarrhea, so I think I'm going to head out

>Detective: Wait! Say that again.

>Friend: Huh?

>Detective: What you just said, I need you to say it again.

>Friend:...uh. OK...I just had diarrhea, so I'm going to head out?

>Detective: That's it! Her diary! That's what's going to lead us straight to Mrs. Hamisham's missing head!
>
>Friend:...so I'm gonna go...

Hackers in movies:

How people in NYC/LA/SF and so on work jobs that really don't pay much, yet live in these giant, nice, well-located apartments.

College professors being shown living in giant Victorian houses with massive libraries. I used to be a professor, and can confirm that the pay isn’t that good.

Turning on the TV at the exact moment a relevant news report starts.

How terrible the bad guys are at shooting...

Firing guns in enclosed spaces not deafening anyone.

The Doorbell rings and someone answers almost immediately.

There is a delicious breakfast on the table,but everyone grabs a piece of bread and runs off to work!

Standing under the shower head when you turn on the shower. Dat s**t way to cold.

Guys who get rejected and then stalk the girl and win her over at the end of the movie.
