At Thanksgiving or Christmas on TV or in movies, they always put the entire turkey, uncarved, on the table with everyone already seated. Has this happened to anyone ever? Everything I've ever been to they carve the bird in the kitchen.
What's the deal with that?
-
Also, when cops pull people over on TV they always say "License and Registration please", but real cops always say "May I see your license and proof of insurance." Do they ask for registration in California or something? Has anyone ever had a cop ask for registration?
-
Registration - yes
Turkey thing - no

When my oldest brother took me to my first real highschool party I was really disappointed when I didn't see everyone dancing to the music playing. :frown: I mean every highschool party in the movies has a large portion of the party dancing and having a great time.

I was just thinking about starting this thread a couple of days ago!
How about when they can't arrest someone because they didn't read them their rights before putting them into the back of the cop car? Completely false. They don't have to read you anything.

In the movies people get punched or kicked and are instantly knocked unconscious.
People get choked for 10 seconds and are dead.
People get poked or slashed with a knife and instantly die.

They do have to notify of your rights if you're being arrested and they plan to question you about the crime. It's not like not being read them is a get out of jail free card or anything but it could be a pretty big deal in regards to what will be eligible to be used in court though. But yeah, if you're getting arrested for like driving on a suspended, they don't have to read you crap.

I know people whose parents are like that. I also know 30 year olds live with their parents in their high school room

If it wasn't for the fact that my youngest sister took over my room and got rid of all my stuff after I moved out my old room would probably still be like that.

If you go off the road in a car, there's always a canyon or cliff there and your car is gonna blow up when it hits the ground.

When they are driving a car they move the steering wheel back and forth a lot even if they are going straight. In real like you just hold the steering wheel still.

Parties/Dances where there is a darkened room with multiple couples making out.

Bad guys are all really terrible shots, like so bad you almost have to try to be that bad. Except bad guy snipers, they're great but it's no big deal cause he's about to get shot right in the eye as he's looking through the scope.

Someone who is watching TV shuts off the TV as soon as someone comes into the room so they can talk to them.

People talking to their doctors about non-life threatening stuff where they are in an office and the doctor is behind a big desk.

tv/movie courtrooms with their beautiful natural daylighting that graces the ornate wood paneling and trim work in spacious, 30 ft. tall chambers that look 100yrs old.

Sub a laptop in place of big desk. I'd say this happens all the time based off of Mrs. BF's clinic day complaints.

I know the computer thing happens in real life. I mean having the conversation in an actual, regular "office" office. An office that doesn't have any examination equipment. Like if the you saw a still of the shot and the guy behind the desk wasn't wearing a white coat, you would think it was a regular business scene except for maybe a decorative skeleton in the corner.

If you have a paper clip and about 4 seconds, you can pick any lock you want. Except a locker at a bus/train station, those things are like Fort Knox.

Good one. Only time I could imagine this happening is if someone died.

Not true.

dining room/kitchen table scenes with a group of people....there is always one side of the table no one sits at... at least this was accurate until reality TV took hold.

In TV/Movie weddings, when the preacher will say, "If anyone objects to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace."
I've been to lots of weddings, and have never once heard a preacher ask for objections.

Heard it once, out of the probably 70 weddings I have attended. But yes, this is a good one. This is what the thread is about, not that bad guys are awful shots, but regular scenarios we all experience that are always portrayed inaccurately.

High school football games where defenses make insanely hard tackles on every play. It only happens a handful of times in every NCAA or NFL games, and has happened like, 1 time ever in a high school football game.

Coming home from a baseball game carrying a pennant and wearing a foam finger as you walk into the house.

Buying something like a candy bar and getting that "golden ticket"

Also, every single play is some incredible highlight and then fast forward to the 4th quarter and the score is only like 14-10 when there appeared to be about 80 combined points.

This. My bf is an identical twin, and although not everyone can tell them apart, it is not difficult AT ALL when you know them even a little bit. His twin is completely repulsive to me. This would never, ever work.
While we're on the topic, every once in awhile there's a movie about high school in which the stud jocks are soccer players -- in AMERICA. That doesn't happen in American high schools. (These are always the movies where the completely stunning "nerd" removes her glasses and looks like a supermodel, but no one could see it because of the glasses.)

My high school had a lot of stud/jock soccer players. My high school is in America.

Revision:
Soccer players can be cool at American high schools, but the coolest of the cool? The one guy that every girl wants to date and every guy wants to be? I don't think so.

was at WRHS a few years ago. Football team sucked big donkey balls to put it lightly.
I hate it when people rack the slide on their gun multiple times as a check and no bullet is ejected. Mostly because cops, .mil, etc always carry one in the chamber.

The homecoming king in my class in high school was the best football player...he was busted one year later for selling meth out of his locker at a local manufacturing plant. True story.

people start a conversation in an apartment, then pick it up later hailing a cab, and then pick it up again when getting out of the cab.

yes, this is a good one. Like Jason Bourne movies always seem to do that as you see lines of code or password attempts
