On TV and in movies, a third person enters a room and says, "May I speak to you privately?" Has anyone EVER seen this happen in real life? I haven't.
Also, they tend to never say, "Goodbye," when hanging up the phone.
Also, someone will say, "I'll meet you tonight at (a place)" and they never say what time.
A little different, but I'll mention it anyway...I can't stand to watch Pioneer Woman, because she never makes enough food, and she never scrapes the bowl. Drives me nuts.
In TV detective series....The common scenario is the female and male partners with the sexual tension going on. The female is a broken person from an abusive childhood. She will often have a rebellious teenage daughter with pink hair and a nose ring, who will be escorted home in the police car of one of mom's cop buddies from the station. It's usually after the kid has been busted at a house party hosted by the local delinquent. Mom and daughter have a loud fight, ending with daughter slamming her bedroom door in mom's face.
The male detective will offer sage advice, the next day on how she should try and connect with the daughter, and "use some long overdue vacation time" for some mother/daughter bonding.
The episode will climax with the male detective knocking on female detective's door, her having a beer out on the patio/porch/kitchen table...She will then tearfully explain her horrible upbringing and resulting destructive life choices. Male then invites her into his arms...fade out...end of season.
Teenage movies. Studious, somewhat nerdy girl lives with jovial, somewhat clumsy widower father with a blue collar job. Studious girl is seen as the caretaker of father and younger siblings. She will also have a fast food job that has uniforms with ridiculous hats. The wealthy, popular cliques will often frequent her place of employment, and terrorize her as customers, leaving no tips and pointing and laughing at her working class teenage hood, while they are out partying. The male hero of the movie, who is also part of the popular clique..Will not be laughing, but will go up and chat with her while she is wiping tables, emptying trash, etc..
Rom com. The high powered executive/politician/lawyer/professional...Will fall for the waitress at some corner cafe that he accidentally ends up at because his car/limo has a flat tire. He finds her cynical and open nature endearing, he pursues her relentlessly, with her brushing him off because they come from two different worlds.
No one on TV has a storm door. In real life, most of us have the "regular" front door which is solid, and then a storm door which has glass or a screen. On TV, it's just the solid door. I guess they like bugs to fly in the house, or their dogs don't like to lie at the front door and look out. The only people in movies who seem to have a storm door are people in rural farmhouses, and those storm doors just slam shut, with no spring action. Doesn't matter if it's a farmhouse in the 1930s or today, the screen door slams shut with no spring.
If a woman is pregnant and doesn't want to be, she can always throw herself down the stairs and she'll have a miscarriage. Also, if a woman is pregnant and she accidentally falls down the stairs, she'll have a miscarriage. There would be no abortion controversy if real life were like this. Just fall down the stairs; problem solved.

They also don't have window screens. They just fling open the window to scream at their kids outside, say hi to the neighbors, sneak out of the house unnoticed, let their boyfriends in for a quickie....

True. Houses must be full of bugs in TV/Movie land.
The chief or supervisor of any modern workplace on TV, especially law enforcement entities, has an office that's all glass. No privacy. I guess they can never scratch their butt or get something out of their nose in their own office. Everyone who reports to them can see everything that happens in that glass office. But somehow the glass is totally sound-proof, because they have very confidential conversations there all the time, usually with lots of shouting, but no one else hears anything.
Looking at the telephone receiver when someone hangs up on the person.. what do they expect to see.
Also, when someone hangs up on them, the phone immediately goes to dial tone. That doesn't happen in real life.
