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.

[Dugout DickStone]

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.

The first one.  I remember on all 80's tv shows that a blow between the shoulder blades knocks a bad guy out indefinitely

[Testy Westy]

punching noises in fist fights....and nobody's face is ever swollen afterwards

[Cartierfor3]

people that go to their parents house and their room from high school is unchanged.

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

Not true.

[one time gella]

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.

Mabe I regularly encounter bad guys wth bad aim?  You ever think of that?!

Baseball games where the stadium announcer is doing play by play over the loudspeakers.  Often portrayed in minor league/high school/college ball scenarios. 

[Stevesie60]

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.

[Winters]

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

[hemmy]

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.

Imagine the scenes from the movie as the highlight reel.  They don't show every single snap doodz, just the good ones.  Duh.

Moving a really short distance away from someone with someone else in order to talk in "private".
