To expect realistic movies from Hollywood would be a constant disappointment. But some of the clichés we see on screen are so bad, they shatter the suspension of disbelief, reminding us that we're watching something made up.
Reddit user u/Nest_Egg decided to find out what things in movies infuriate people the most, so they asked: "What is something that happens in every movie, but never happens in real life?"
From Skype streams with 1080p and 120fps to 5 bad guys attacking the hero one at a time, here are hilariously true and oddly specific answers that others have responded with.

A young married couple buying a massive 2 or 3 story Victorian that is completely updated and has full attic and basement as their first home like that's a normal thing. Even with a discount for the demons that hang out there a new married couple that just spent upwards of 40 grand on a wedding is not gonna be able to afford this huge remodeled house.

Will power seems to be greater than any injury in every movie.
4 broken ribs, countless lacerations, and eyes swelled shut probably wont be remedied by the time you are fighting the next wave of baddies.

Someone asking like 20 people to leave a room so they can have a conversation with one other person. "Can we have the room?" Or "Give us the room."
This happens all the time in movies. It has been driving me crazy since I started noticing it.

When soldiers die on the battlefield in movies, its usually a whole ordeal with last words and grunting and the injured soldier slowly becoming lifeless as a buddy holds him in his arms. All the while the battle seemingly lulls off as this one random guy is dying.
This just doesn't happen. Usually battlefield deaths are quick and very sudden. A lot of the time the guy hit either isn't noticed until later or is dead before they hit the ground.

Immediate comebacks. Even the sharpest people will not have a comeback for everything, every single time.

People establishing family (outside of mothers, fathers and grandparents) relationships in their greetings so anyone that happens to overhear knows how you're related.
"Hey brother, it's been a long time!"
"What's going on, sis?"
"How are you, cousin?"
"What's going on, sis?"
"How are you, cousin?"

Highschoolers very openly and obviously throwing house parties or going to clubs and getting wasted.
Being drenched the second they walk outside while raining
One person running in and saying something along the lines of "omg i have to tell you so and so...." getting interrupted by the person they want to talk to saying "i don't have time for this" and leaving. Of course you're going to want to know why someone needs to obviously and urgently tell you something.
