We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community, "What is something that’s seen as normal in movies or TV but would be suuuuuper weird IRL?"

And the answers are just so, so, so, so, so, so, so on point.

Here are 22 of their responses:

3. "The only way a character can show they’ve been food shopping is if they have a baguette sticking out the top of a brown paper bag."

4. "When there's no text history! Somebody goes to send a text message, and it’s the only one in the thread."

—Jschreib2323

5. "In post-apocalyptic movies, apparently no one gets their period because, when they are making supply runs, I never see any menstrual products."

6. "When characters dry swallow pills in movies and TV. They will grab a pill bottle, dump a handful of mysterious pills in their palm, and down them in one gulp. First of all, who does that? Second, it seems pretty dangerous because I doubt a 'vague handful of pills' is the prescribed dose."

7. "Knocking over everything off the table to 'hook up.' Like...WHO is cleaning all of this up?"

8. "When we see a recording of a CCTV, there are about four pixels. But then when someone asks to zoom in? Sure, here is a 4K pic of our guy."

9. "Giving birth to an obviously 3-month-old baby."

10. "Stalking a woman until she falls in love with you."

—Penny

11. "Hospitals and police stations being very dimly lit."

12. "Getting knocked on the head hard enough to get knocked out cold but a little later popping back up to fight the bad guy. There are never any after effects."

—Just Me

13. "Criminal Minds: 'Garcia, we need a list of all the people who wore yellow underwear with black polka dots in Cleveland over the past six weeks. And cross reference that with right-handed Nazis from Dallas. While you’re at it, why don’t you find a cure for cancer and solve world hunger?' Garcia, after randomly typing for five seconds: 'Done.'"

14. "When someone is driving the car while talking to the passenger. They take their eyes off the road for waaayyy too long to be safe!"

—lunallee212

15. "Characters who agree to meet, but never say when and where. They never say bye at the end of a phone call, they just hang up."

16. "Young twentysomethings with entry-level jobs living in huge apartments, centrally located in major cities."

—lkirad

17. "I'm pretty sure the movie formula is cough = character gonna die. And vomit = character is pregnant."

18. "I know this is a silly comment. But it’s always bothered me in movies that unless under extreme duress, characters never fumble their words or cannot come up with the correct word they are looking for and try to search for it. I mean, who speaks 100% perfectly 100% of the time?"

—evilpizza45

19. "Women in action scenes in outfits that are probably hard to breathe in, yet they're kicking ass."

20. "Also, that full breakfast table with waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit, but everyone running down to the kitchen, says 'No time; I’m late!' Then they take a swig of juice and run out the door while Mom watches them go with an indulgent smile. If I got up and made breakfast for everyone, they better get themselves at that table in time to eat! I would not be smiling."

—Just Me

21. "When people say, 'Let's go to that little Italian place you like for dinner' rather than giving the name of the restaurant. Same with, 'Oh, let's go and see the new film with that star you like in it.'"

22. And lastly: "Waking up in full make up/hair done."

—Morythecat

"And going to bed with makeup on! I watched Desperate Housewives again recently, and ain’t no way all those 40-year-old women are going to bed with a full face on."

—LilBitAlexis

"I knew a woman who married her high school sweetheart right out of school. They were married, and she would wake up before him and run and put a face of makeup on and do her hair, then go back to bed. Still married decades later, and I can’t help but wonder if she still does it."
