On TV they never...

<p>

</p>

<p>That is SO true! I was sure shocked when I moved from Texas to Maine and discovered what snow really looks like next to roads after it’s sat there for a few days! I don’t send those photos to people back home.</p>

<p>No female ever wakes up with smudged mascara/raccoon eyes. And in horror flicks no one ever seems to run AWAY from what is an obvious direct path to dismemberment, disembowelment, arterial blood loss or obvious other physical harm.</p>

<p>^Yes! I always make a sarcastic comment when people run TOWARDS screaming or gunshots in TV shows. Who actually does that (besides police officers/people well-trained to defend themselves?)</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>Nobody of either sex ever wakes up with disheveled hair either.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So true. By the way, has anyone seen Carl?</p>

<p>frazzled–TVtropes is dangerously addicting! Be warned. ;)</p>

<p>Nobody ever looks hungover in the mornings, and apparently nobody has bad breath either as they always wake up and make out. Never seen anybody reaching for the breath mints before morning nookie.</p>

<p>@ psych - so true! I stumbled across it a few weeks ago and can’t seem to make my escape. Funny, insightful folks.</p>

<p>…are as boring as the rest of us. They always have a witty comeback and everyone communicates well. </p>

<p>You never ever hear real life arguments escalating into knockdown dragout fights lasting for hours with plenty of furniture being destroyed and the police arriving and arresting people.</p>

<p>@TonyK – you’re lucky you don’t live in my area (re your second comment)</p>

<p>CPU,</p>

<p>Maybe it’s time for you to move?</p>

<p>TonyK – As a minor I have no rights :stuck_out_tongue: I live in a nice suburb where people grow old. The city next to my town, not so much.</p>

<p>House sales and all other legal proceedings are accomplished on the afternoon of the day the person first thinks of it.</p>

<p>“This is why I like shows like The Middle or Roseanne because they show houses that are often in disarray and therefore, more realistic.”</p>

<p>That’s what I liked about Medium. Kids shared a bedroom, house in disarray, breakfast is a chaotic process… I guess that made the rest of the events more believable (like the main character’s ability to being able to see into the future :))</p>

<p>When people on TV get out of bed, they wrap the sheet around themselves. Has anyone EVER done that?</p>

<p>^^You probably would too if millions of people were watching you as you got out of bed.</p>

<p>It always bugged me on TV how girls would give guys their number (or vice versa) and write it down EXTREMELY fast on a napkin or sheet of paper and hand it to them. There’s no way you can write down an area code and number in under a second. </p>

<p>(sorry for the sidetrack)</p>

<p>I may have missed it, but I’ve never seen anyone getting a headache over the FAFSA.</p>

<p>Last night we watched an episode of Perry Mason. At the beginning of the episode, a woman was waiting in line to board a bus. She kept picking up her obvoiusly heavy suitcase and putting it down each time she moved up in line. But she ended up not getting onto the bus (spoiler alert: her blackmailer caught her trying to skip town) and she must have unpacked before she got home, because as she was walking into her house, she had the formerly very heavy suitcase lifted to almost waist level, as if it was a purse.</p>

<p>“This is why I like shows like The Middle or Roseanne because they show houses that are often in disarray and therefore, more realistic.”</p>

<p>I have the same pillows on my family room sofa that are on the sofa in the Middle’s living room. The set designer must shop at BB&B.</p>
