Just because somebody has been killed doesn’t mean you won’t see them again. And I’m not talking about the afterlife, I mean in this one- even if the body is clearly identified, there’s at least a 50% chance that was his or her heretofore unknown identical twin and the real person is on an island having their appearance changed.
Babysitting isn’t an issue if they have to drop all and go to Paris or a mysterious country nobody’s ever heard of at the drop of a hat. Neither is paying for the trip.
Kids can be difficult when they’re teething toddlers, but the real difficulty starts the next year when they become teenagers.
Just because a guy’s a rapist doesn’t mean he’s all bad, especially if he’s cute. Some can become a good guy in as little as a few weeks.

No one ever has a common cold or 24 hour flu, but everybody you know has been in a life-threatening coma at least once.
Despite the fact that you live in a town that is so small that a mere 25 people live there, said town is the site of at least one multi-national industrial company, one nationally known fashion house, two rival newspapers, a hospital in which every state-of-the-art, experimental procedure is performed, several four-star restaurants & hotels, an international airport, and at least one sprawling gothic mansion (preferably located by a seaside cliff.)
The town is also conveniently located near a mountain range (where you have a ski lodge for winter getaways), the desert (where you have a ranch with a full stable of horses), AND the ocean (where you have a beach bungalow.)
If your car breaks down, your cell phone will automatically short out. This most often occurs when you are in some out of the way locale, and the only person you can turn to for help is your ex-lover (who is bitter rivals with your current lover.)
You always wear the most expensive looking, cutting edge fashion-forward clothes - regardless of what line of work you are in. You could be the short-order cook in the worst dive bar in town, and you still can afford Gucci, Prada & Hermes everything.
Also, despite being on trial for a murder you didn’t commit, frantically worried about your missing S.O., dealing with your sister’s amnesia & her stalker ex-boyfriend, you still have time to get to the gym for what appears to be 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.

-Mob bosses and rich people never work, they just handle their dramatic personal affairs all day long.
-Eavesdropping happens A LOT! There always seems to be an open window or open doorway that someone is hiding near.
-Anytime you see someone driving a car they will either crash or hit something.
