Oftentimes, movies fail miserably at depicting the real world. Here are the most 15 unrealistic things that happen:
1. People who brush their teeth without having a mouth full of foam. I don't know about you, but I look like a rabid dog whenever I brush my teeth.
2. People who somehow live outside their income range. Many times people will live in enormou, nice apartments in the middle of a huge city, despite only making a moderate amount of money. I would love to make $50K a year and live in a studio apartment in the middle of NYC.
3. People who miraculously type things perfectly without ever hitting the backspace key. Sorry, that's not possible. I just made like 4 errors just typing this.
4. Ever notice that the 'bad guys' always fight one at a time? That's because if they didn't, the movie wouldn't end happily ever after. The villains would probably win if they had the common sense to attack simultaneously.
5. People just walk into showers as the water is magically hot. I've had to wait for the water to heat up for every shower I've ever taken - even for just 30 seconds - if I don't want my brain to freeze and fingers to become numb.
6. People not having to wait to get coffee or food during the morning rush. During peak times, I always have to wait in a long line for my order, and usually, end up waiting at least 5-10 minutes.
7. People never use condoms or birth control (that we know about). No wonder there are so many teen moms. Uneducated people are being led to infer incorrect things.
8. Characters are always able to snag free, close parking. I don't know about you, but it can be a Sunday afternoon and I'll be fighting with people over a parking space that is a good walk away from the closest entrance at my local mall.
9. High schoolers look like they're in their 20s with their flawless makeup and attractive clothes. Oh wait, in the real world the actors are. You couldn't have hired actors that represent the age they're portraying?
10. Driving with a passenger and barely looking at the road. Oh, and they always get there on time unless being late ties into the storyline. If I had a full conversation looking at a passenger while steering the wheel back and forth I'd end up in a river.
11. Literally everything about sex - before, during, and after. No one's hair and makeup looks that good the next morning. The sheets would never cover each person's body perfectly. No peeing later. No conversation during the act, just groans and moans. No one getting sweaty. No mess. Enough said.
12. Being able to hear someone clearly in any noisy area. I have a hard time hearing every word someones says when it's dead silent.
13. Movies with happy endings. Hate to break it to you, but life isn't a fairy tale. It's shit with pure moments of bliss far and few between.
14. Everyone is hot. Literally. And if they're not, they can be by taking off their glasses. If only...
15. Everyone always has the best comebacks instantly. I stumble over my own words on a good day.
