No, because of the reversal of the corrugation contours within the linear regions of the Fauci tariff pardon. Very technical.
Plot armor is always the best kind.
Touché. I’d totally overlooked the Fauci tariff; How silly of me.
Something we see on home remodeling shows or House Hunters is that the new house for the family with kids is a total lack of space to put a television set, even mounted on a wall. There are surely households that don’t have TVs, but TVs are extremely common that missing them is notable.
Egad, I hope this doesn’t become a thread about HH.
People driving and watching the road, not turning to look at the front seat passenger for half a minute at a time while the car magically steers itself…
Yeah. Ordinary mis-speakings, too, where someone says the wrong word and corrects themselves (or doesn’t, and the other people in the conversation just understand what was intended). In old-time radio, there are occasional verbal stumbles (live broadcasts, I guess), which adds to the realism.
In the real world people who live in New York City keep their apartment doors locked.
The mention of NYC reminded me …
Common IRL; rare in drama?
Failing to find a parking space directly at the front door of wherever you’re going.
It’s sorta cheating to simply invert one of the standard tropes of the other thread, but that low-hanging fruit was just too ripe not to snatch.
It’s been ages since I saw A Clockwork Orange, but I seem to recall Alex doing so in that film as well.
And Austin Powers took a pee after being in stasis for 30 years, but that of course was entirely for comedic purposes.

Being on your cellphone while walking and talking at the same time, and another call comes in; you inevitably bungle putting the first caller on hold while simultaneously hanging up on both callers. Hollywood never has this problem–they switch between calls with ease.
These days, I rarely get more than one actual phone call a day, let alone at a time. Everybody prefers text.

Everybody prefers text.
But texting doesn’t develop dialog to move the plot along!

I rarely get one call a day–I get three or four at once, then 'radio silence for a three day interval.

Sometimes it’s a plot device to show the viewers the phone screen with a text message. I truly hate the shows where I am supposed to read that because, often, my screen size and viewing distance doesn’t let me do so or they don’t leave it on screen long enough for me to read it.
Call the cops when you kill someone in self defense.
We know you’re just making it worse when you try to hide the body. Lol

Which reminds me of another thing, related to texting in real life. . .
What you see on TV (a sample): M-E-E-T-F-O-R-D-I-N-N-E-R-A-T-6-?
What really happens: M-E-W-“oh dammit”-(backspace)-E-RT-"son of a !!! " (backspace twice)-T-F-O-(autocorrects to FOUR)-"Og Dammit!" (backspaces twice)-R-D-I-NM-“Mother clucker!!” (backspace)-N-[slows waaaay down]-N-R-@-6-?
Don’t tell me that doesn’t happen to you!!

As ST:TOS’s Scotty was prone to saying:
Aye, laddie
Someone gets a flat tire, and the following happen-- or don’t, as the case may be:
- the driver knows how to change a tire
- the spare has air in it
- all the tools work, and are where they should be
- it isn’t raining
- no lug nuts are misplaced
- this all happens during daylight…
- …and not on a highway
Forget taking a pee in the morning. What about bathing or showering?
My wife and I watch a lot of British and European police shows. A typical female DI (or equivalent) will investigate a case all day, go home and drop asleep on the couch, wake up to have a few drinks with a fellow officer from another district, have vigorous sex, wake up to a phone call from a DS at 5:00 AM, quickly pull on the same jeans she was wearing the day before, and then go out to spend another 14 hours investigating a new murder. Not even a quick sponge bath (or pee).
No wonder most people aren’t interested in talking to the police (or standing near them).
What is a “DI” or “DS” in this context?
I think DI is Detective Inspector and DS is Detective Sargent (sp?).
Lots of people don’t bathe/shower every day - and I’ve seen advice ( from Levi’s) to wash jeans only every 10 wears unless they are visibly dirty or smell.
And plenty of people consider clothes to “smell” a few seconds after first touching a body. I’m not one of them, but but I know a few.
