What is your opinion on the United Kingdom?

[superme80]

Sure! BYO lightsaber.

I'll steal my husband's from Galaxy Edge!!!!

Romance in the the morning without brushing teeth. Morning breath is real and sooo not sexy.

Um, that never stopped us, not even now at 60 and 63 lol.

Oh! How about when someone has a baby or is in hospital for any reason, the only people there are the friends/neighbors/coworkers, UNLESS the show is about a family, then EVERY SINGLE member of the extended family shows up.

My DH's family is hispanic. They all show up at the hospital for anything and everything. We didn't tell them about our boys until they were born. They're the group of 15 or 20 in the waiting room eating.

OMG, now I have to hunt for that! Not much of a drinker, but I do have several bottles of various stuff. I need a whole SW setup.


OMG, and now I'm dying!

People wake up with perfect make up and hair.

Yup, even if they’re in the hospital. And they always have a huge private hospital room.

Another thing...people leaving or entering their homes, never lock or unlock the door. It’s always open and they never need a key.

People wake up with perfect make up and hair.

I used to work for a family company. The owners had been married about 20 years, and the husband had never seen the wife without makeup. Ever. She would put on fresh makeup and do her hair before bed, touch up if she got up in the night, and remove and replace in private in the morning. She was an attractive woman, and I think she would have been attractive without makeup (her sister was, and they looked almost identical), but I guess she must have felt insecure without it. I sleep on my side or stomach, with my face all mashed in the pillow, so it wouldn’t work for me. My hair, first thing in the morning, looks like I slept with a finger in the electric socket.

The magical defibrilater. You know, the one that magically saves flatlined patients.
Beep beeeeep beeeep beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............(flatline)
Oh noes!! what do we do???!!! OUTTA MY WAY NURSE!!!! Kiss the paddle for good luck nurse? Dr. Rubs paddles, places them parallel CLEAR!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT. Normal sinus rhythm dr. You did it!!!! Patient sits up and is drinking tea 5 minutes later.
Several problems here.
1. You don't rub the paddles together.
2. You can't shock a flat lined patient because it won't work.
3. You don't place them in the exact same spot on either side perfectly parallel to each other.
4. Only about 15% of patients survive CPR. In medical dramas, the vast majority of them do.

Isn't a gel is applied directly to the paddles and rubbed to spread it evenly? At least for older defibrillators? I thought that it was to improve conductivity and to reduce the chance of burning the skin.

I've heard that many doctors and nurses have a person "no CPR" order because they've seen what happens to people manage to survive it. Stuff like brain damage.

That reminds me of an amazing scene from Season 1 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Maybe it was not uncommon amongst woman from a certain era.

And they answer unknown numbers. And they always seem to have the number of the person they met one time 5 years ago.

This was my grandma. We never saw her without her make up until she was dying of cancer. We all thought she was beautiful, but sadly she didn't see it.

Oh, watching a scene start with them waking up in the morning, turning to each other with a kiss makes me want to puke, LOL. Real life it's cover the mouth, "NO! Stay away until we can both get to the bathroom sink!"

Aso, I typically have to empty my bladder first thing when I wake up in the morning. Nothing happens without a trip to the bathroom first.

How was Jessica Fletcher NOT a serial killer??!!!!

I always made fun of the show by pointing out how odd it was that somebody died every time Aunt Jessica showed up.

I pointed this out to my husband. Man I do love me some Murder She Wrote though.

The way people can remember multi-part directions or military battle maneuver orders after hearing them just once. I would be all, "Can you repeat that?" or would have to write it down. I noticed this while watching the Mandalorian: Go to the planet blah blah blah and look in the yadda yadda yadda forest for what's-her-face. Tell her that boca something sent you.

Some historians speculate that the reason General Lee lost the Battle of Gettysburg was that his orders were not followed correctly or were misunderstood. I have no idea how solid that theory is, but after watching some films about the battle, I can totally relate.

I always thought the murder rate on the re-boot of Hawaii 5-0 was ridiculously high compared to Honolulu IRL. If that many people were really killed there every week after a while there wouldn't be any left.

Travel through space and time, faster than the speed of light, in a vehicle disguised as a 1960s British police box. (Admittedly that one's a bit niche).

 

[RUDisney]

When I was little and would watch soap operas in the afternoon at my DGM's house with her, I always thought that a person could survive being shot twice, and the third time, you died. When someone was in the hospital twice with something life threatening, I'd say to DGM, "well, they've got one more chance and then they are a goner."

They all seemed to die on the third life-threatening issue. Not to mention, who gets shot so many times when they aren't a gangster, and are living a cushy life?

 

[nicolita3]

People walking into their houses and leaving their doors wide open and not closing it behind them.

Doctors pronouncing a patient dead, this probably only happens at hospitals, but not at nursing homes. I had a patient on hospice who died and the family was there and they asked me when the doctor would come and pronounce him dead. When I told them a doctor does not come they were shocked!

I laugh at the decanter posts. Days of Our Lives comes to mind. Decanters are in the millionaire homes.
