by Does it sometimes annoy you when people do things in movies that you would never do in real life? Well, a while ago I wrote a post about unrealistic things people do in movies. The BuzzFeed community came up with even more examples in the comments where they didn’t really catch the ~human spirit~. Here are some of the best:
1.
“When two characters walk away to talk privately, about three feet away from the group, and miraculously no one can hear them even though they’re talking super loud.”

2.
“After sex, the L-shaped bed sheets that cover a woman’s breasts but only reach a man’s waist, fully revealing his perfect torso.”
– CJEU Scandell
3.
“Girls who fall asleep with a full face of makeup and wake up with no harmful effects on their pillow or smeared makeup.”
—b037

“Someone gets a call and is asked to check ‘the news’ and turns to the exact news channel with no further prompts other than ‘the news.’ If it’s not a huge global catastrophe, what are the odds that all the news channels are covering the same story relevant to the plot at the same time?”

“Just all the generic food and drink orders in movies. ‘I’ll have a coffee/a beer/a piece of cake.’ And of course it’s served within seconds.”

“I hate it when someone throws up, but their significant other is fine with kissing them. And yes, sometimes they throw up not because they’re sick, but because they’re hungover. Brush your teeth first!”

“Women never seem to have their periods in apocalyptic scenarios. For example, you never have to worry about finding tampons and such.”

“They never brush their teeth properly! I’ve never seen a realistic teeth brushing scene where the foam fills her mouth. They never rinse their mouths – just a quick spit and that’s it! I’ve never seen anyone brush their teeth like this in real life.”
