People rinse before getting out of a bubble bath? Bubble bath is sticky? 
Bubble bath isn’t sticky? It’s soap. It dries on your skin, it’s going to be sticky.
Yes but, notice I specifically mentioned “Writers” meaning, professional writers, not just regular people. I should have been clearer.
I guess theoretically soap drying on you would be sticky, but it’s never occurred to me to rinse after a bubble bath and I’m definitely not sticky.
Men wiping off the shaving creme with a towel, not rinsing with water.
People who are fast asleep in bed in the middle of the night, and when the phone rings, they turn on their bedside light and don’t immediately cover their eyes or wince in pain. Why do they turn on the light in the first place, presuming they can find the phone without it?
Reynold’s character used to be a vampire. Maybe there were some after-market benefits.
Those L-shaped sheets every couple owns. Because before and after sex my wife and I are always sure to cover our naughty parts in the privacy of our bedroom.
Similarily, women who go to bed and/or wake up with perfect eye makeup.
using words from the wrong era
Mostly modern slang used in historical flicks, that irks me to no end.
I am certain the likes of Custer and Sitting Bull did not utter “blow me” back in their days.
Let me guess: you were not a fan of Deadwood.
The Patriot: “Mind if I sit here?” “It’s a free country.”
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: “Fuck me, he cleared it!”
Well, “It’s a free country” didn’t show until after the Civil War, afaik, but Fuck is very early, even RH early.
I’ve heard this complaint so many times here, and I have to ask:
What the fuck do you mean by “L-shaped sheet?”
Ok, I know what you mean…the sheet is covering the lady’s breasts and below, but the man’s chest is exposed, so the sheet is only covering from below his waist. But…that’s not an “L” shape. That’s…well, there’s no letter for it, but it’s an L with a line at the top. If anything, it’s more like a Z shaped sheet.
But that’s not the point…the point is:
It’s fabric! It can bunch up! Trust me when I say that no special “L-shaped” sheets are needed to achieve that affect.
And I know your main complaint is that in bed, a couple isn’t going to be embarrassed about being naked around each other, so either it’s cold, and they both have the blankets all the way up, or it’s not, and they both have them at their waist. But I’ve been in many situations where a GF and I were lying in bed like that. It’s been a combination of her being colder than me, and/or her being embarrassed/shy about her nudity. I’ve dated a couple girls who didn’t like being “exposed” except during the actual foreplay and sex. When it was done, they would fairly quickly put underwear back on, and sometimes a t-shirt, and other times just pull the sheet up over their breasts.
It loses something if you don’t see Christian Slater deliver it like a surfer.
To be honest, if Alan Rickman isn’t on the screen, my finger is on “fast forward’ for that film. Best Performance in Worst film.
Wow. I guess my sore spot hit a sore spot.
Typefaces bother me much more than they should. A Depression-era county fair should not have a vinyl banner printed using Arial. And it probably won’t have the year as part of the wording.
People who apparently have sex wearing underwear. Or have it with them under the covers.
Rapid transit trains or modern passenger trains with steam whistles.
The crack of thunder causing the sky to switch from clear to pouring rain. In Southern California, where thunder is almost unknown.
Well, there you go. I thought I was the only person in the world who was annoyed by this. I’m not even a bloke and it occurs to me that just wiping the foam off with a towel would be sticky and unpleasant.
My movie (and television) sore spot is the same: anything to do with hospitals. They always get something wrong and it annoys the crap out of me. See that drip? Well, they call it a drip for a reason: it’s supposed to drip. Many, many times I’ve seen movies/TV shows where the drip doesn’t drip or the pump is obviously (to me, at least) turned off.
Plus, a lot of times they don’t even finish shaving. In real life, this would mean having clumps of bristles spotted around an otherwise smooth face.
Or wearing all their clothes. There’s been so many times where there’s a “having sex pushed up against the wall” type of thing, and the woman involved has not taken anything off. If she is wearing pantyhose, pants, or anything other than a skirt with a simple pair of panties, that is NOT gonna work. A guy can just undo the front, but what the heck do they think is going on below the waist on a woman exactly?
Women sleeping in their bras and eye makeup. And of course, waking up with unsmeared eye makeup instead of looking like dead hookers.
Any time it becomes obvious that the whole trauma in a character’s past is going to be completely erased by THE POWER OF LOVE and then babies. Ugh.
