This is the thread where you talk about things which happen quite often in films which are defined as normal in films but what would never happen in real life.

Here are my two

1. Man and Woman hate each other, constantly argue, during one argument after a lot of shouting they kiss and/or have sex.

2. Person 1 and Person 2 are talking
Person 1 walks away
Person 2: Hey
Person 1 turns around
person 2: ...Thanks

 A taxi always appears when you need one.
People just hang up the phone without saying goodbye.
People who've just had sex clutch the sheets around themselves to hide their nudity.

A person can pay for their taxi ride by pulling out one note from their wallet, which happens to be the exact fare for the journey.

 people randomly breaking out in to song and dance routines.
Ok, it's only in Musicals. But musicals are films too, dammit!

Speaking to someone on the phone while not giving them enough time to say anything yet after the call, the person on the other side of the phone apparently said a hell of a lot.

Something Noel Edmonds does on Deal or No Deal all the time!! (in fact, he answers the phone and goes 'ooooooo' like the banker just told him something before he's even had chance to talk....and THEN repeats what he's supposedly just been told by the banker even though about 2 seconds has elapsed...god I hate Noel Edmonds and anyone who's been on that programme... )

Er, anyhoo......*ahem*

 People always know just what to say and are allowed to deliver a huge long monologue without anyone interrupting.

No one EVER says "alright, but can you give me five minutes? I just need a piss."

The Banker is real, though. They started to get the contestants to talk to him too as people began to doubt his existence.

I know, but there are moments where what Noel says the banker just said he's obviously making up for the 'drama' of the programme, as there's no WAY he managed to get out what Noel said in the split second he was on the phone!

That's true. I bet the guy on the other end of the phone constantly says 'I never said that, Edmonds, you cock!'

 Here's another one: Supposedly 'normal people' or people with jobs you wouldn't think would pay much, are able to afford huge, open plan, loft-style apartments in attractive parts of New York i.e. Ghost and Unfaithful

And strangely they always seem to say goodbye as they are putting the phone down - that is just so ride.

People go into the bar and say, "I'll have a beer". What beer? A pint, a bottle? How come they just get one and never say "no sorry mate I meant a bottle of Corona, not this stein of Beck's".

Your in the middle of something and your mate turns to you and tells you exactly what you are doing and why you are doing it, again.

 Person A calls person B up and says "turn on channel 14 news". Person B walks over to the remote and turns on the news report at the exact second the news report (relavent to the plot) begins.

No one interrupts in conversations or for that matter have a normal dialogue with stammers, repeats and wrongly spoken words

dramatic music in background - that could be quite useful in real life

people always look fresh after travelling hundreds if not thousands of miles instead of having that red eye knackered look

never have to wait 15+ mins to get a drink at a bar and then have to SHOUT so that you can order the said drink because of the noise

kill multiple people and never gets on the news

have end credits running at naturally happy endings

find the "right" girl after all the others, who are even uglier than the one who finds you, have ignored you

 The cop who does nothing but smoke, drink whisky and eat cheeseburgers is still fit enough to chase bad guys around building sites and batter them.

 People who have upset or argued with someone give up really easily when trying to get them to not walk away. 

For example, Person A upsets/argues with Person B.  Person B says 'I'm leaving', walks off camera and Person A just says their name or 'but...' in a hopeless way and gives up even though they're still only about 5 yards away.

Also, I know that people who break into song and dance in musicals can be forgiven, so what's this lot's excuse?

Usually people don't even say "hello", or "goodbye" in phone conversations (I know it's not a film, but '24' is really bad for this one). Drives me mad! If someone hung up on me constantly, I'd ring them back and kick their ass!
