Things That Only Happen In The Movies!!!

[CaliforniaDreamin]

I have an answering machine and the phone is only a few years old. I can hear the message being left from all 3 handsets that I have throughout my house.

I stand corrected. But you get my point! No one has voice mail on their home phones in the movies.

This one REALLY gets me. Who has an answering machine anymore???

I also have an answering machine. It is built into a wireless printer/scanner/fax machine with a phone, only about 2 years old, so it isn't like it is technologically outdated. It is set to ring 4 times and then you can hear the person on the other end, so this one doesn't really get me. We have voice mail on our cell phones, but not on our land line.

You order a meal or drink a restaurant, take one bite or sip, then leave the restaurant.

I know, right ?

To piggyback this one, it always drives me nuts when the mom has made the world's largest breakfast.....pancakes, eggs, toast, orange juice, enough to feed an army. Well the husband grabs his briefcase and takes one sip of coffee, and the kids take one bite of the toast and are on their way. If I was cooking all that food, I wouldn't be too pleased !!!!

Nobody actually needs to say "Goodbye" at the end of a phone call. Just hang up whenever you're done with the important information.

All hotel rooms in Paris have a fantastic view of the Eiffel Tower.

Cowboy hats are not made with glue anymore. In the old movies, no matter how voilent the fight the good guy never lost his hst.

-If you're a high school student in a film, you will always get one of the preferable eye-level lockers.



-Smokers smoke only when there is a romantic or dramatic reason to. At other times the smoker has no need of cigarettes.

-Word processors never display a cursor.

No one cool ever has to:

Floss popcorn kernals out of thier teeth with the corner of a piece of paper.

Have to unlock thier door while crossing their legs to avoid peeing on themselves.

Worry about eating mexican food or brocolli on a date.

Hide in the bathroom and dry shave their legs because they swore the date would end at the door.

However the comic relief in the move ie the ugly girl, the side kick, or the comedian who is playing himself only with a different name will usually have to do at least one of these things if not all of them at some point.

Every character of importance, including the weekly guest star, is attractive. No one is unattractive except for people that are beyond hideous (to indicate they're a serial killer) or goofy looking (for comic relief).

No one is overweight, except for people that are so obese as to be obviously hilarious, digusting, or pathetic. The second half of that one is that overweight people are always hilarious, disgusting, or pathetic. No fat person could ever have a happy marriage or a hot sex life. Mostly they must sit at home with their carton of ice cream, dreaming of a "real life".

No one ever needs directions or addresses or concrete plans. The hero asks the blonde "Can we go out for a drink some time?" They agree and part ways without deciding what date or time, where they're meeting, if he's picking her up, what her cell phone number is, etc. It drives me nuts!

There is always a parking space available in front of the building you are going into, unless they will be getting mugged later in the alley.

The fiancee of a long lost love is always an evil witch with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

That's true in real life, too!

Being a high school chemistry teacher I do many hands on labs and interesting demos................However I am always jealous of every chemistry class on tv shows as they have the most intricate glassware with multicolored solutions just brewing in the lab. Always ! I wonder where these high schools are ?

or a no name person wearing red in a Star Trek movie!

On walker texas ranger For the first several seasons, you could always tell the "bad guys" by the cars they drove - a Ford. "Good Guys" that live drove Dodge and "Good Guys" that die drove Chevys.

That is hilarious! Wonder who sponsored the show??

I didn't see these two mentioned. In movies, if you're in a car chase or hurrying to get somewhere in a car, you can cut through multiple lanes of traffic without so much as a fender bender. But if you're driving along on empty streets, just minding your own business, you'll get t-boned by something that just came at you out of the blue.

The woman wakes up in the morning and before opening her eyes, she flings her arm onto the pillow next to her. Then she opens her eyes & looks to see that the guy she met (or fell in love with) last night & slept with, isn't lying there next to her. (Also happens with the guy swinging first.)

Just once I'd like to see the person be there & get hit in the face.

These are hilarious.

Prospetive step-mothers are always evil and cruel people, who are out to send the child of the husband to boarding school because they want the child out of the picture. The father is usually ignorant of this until the wedding.

Step mothers always have two daughters who are extremely favored, and force the "real" daughter to clean and do awful chores

(Disney Channel TV Shows) A secret double life is so important that if the whole world knows it the person's whole life will crumple under them.


You will always have two best friends. One of the same gender, and one of the opposite gender. The popular crowd and the bullies are always after you.

And you never see people exchanging insurance information.

Another one: All bars have really big windows at the entrance for when there is a fight and someone gets punched. They always break the window and end up on the sidewalk.

Oh, another one and I have seen this happen a lot of Disney channel shows, but it's a classic film thing.

If you want to sneak into a stars dressing room or hotel room, just hide under the dessert cart. There is always a dessert cart that will fit at least one person, and it will always have a tablecloth long enough to cover said person.

From a nurse:

If you are in the hospital:

you will have oxygen tubing up your nose, probably be on wrong, risking choking you.

your bed rails will be down, even if you are in a coma.

your doctor will shock you if you flatline, and if that doesn't work, they will punch you in the chest and that WILL work.

Or you will be in a coma with no tubes or wiring or anything, and lying peacefully in your own bedroom at home. I saw this a few years ago with Victoria on Young & The Restless, I forgot the scenario, but remember this clear as a bell!
