I hate that people never say "bye" on the phone.

    Are you even allowed to end a phone convo without 20 byes and 30 ciaos?

    I say it sometimes. Is "aight" a good enough bye, what about "later"? Sometimes if it's a quick work call hardly anyone says bye.

    You have to tell them that you love them, everytime, or it's not even close to a proper bye. That's how you get an in with the HR folks really quickly so you know that they have your back. Work on easy mode, more or less. Like and subscribe for more social lifehacks.

    For it is :

    • Preparing a huge breakfast and then they take a bit and they say I need to go
    • People drinking coffee or other drinks but you see clearly that they don't, why film that ?
    • Turing the wheel of the car like crazy when they on a straight road.
    • Wearing shoes inside the house even when they are about to go to sleep.

    And the story is set in modern times but it sounds like an 80's arcade cabinet. Bwoop-bwoop pew pew!

    Granted some people are so focused while gaming that they look like drowned salmon, but streamers have proven you can still be emotive and act whilst gaming lol.

    Also no helmets. Can't cover the face even when wildly impractical.

    I honestly don't get it. Recently read a manga and they ACTUALLY WORE THEIR BLOODY HELMETS DURING BATTLE! It was glorious! Occasional a stray bullet destroys the helmet sadly...but for a large chunk of it all, they actually fucking wear them! You could still tell who is who by body proportions, dialog and context so that wasn't really an issue. Also it's hella dramatic to take off the helmet after battle or when trying to negotiate with someone. It just makes soo much more sense!

    I'm a doctor so I know how dying people act. It's unrealistic that a dying person, like a couple of seconds before he/ she's completely gone, to talk much sense. They speak random stuff, disoriented, or in a complete panic state until they lost their consciousness and then die short after.

    Every movement with a gun sounds like there's a loose screw in it (it always clicks). Also it usually has a clip of 300+ bullets.

    Every mouse or keyboard input into a computer, every loading bar, every screen popping up makes screaching sounds. Except when having a failing DVD drive or broken hard disk I've never heard any computer making these sounds.

    A secret tracking or listening device has a blinking red light and beeps.

    Every car, always with airconditioning, drives with open windows because of the window reflections. Even during rain, extreme heat or highly contagious zombies trying to bite you through the open window.

    Drivers also tend to keep attention on the road a lot less in the movies.

    And I always anticipate an "unexpected" crash that almost never happens. Even in shows where it would never happen.

    When the character that's "driving" keeps moving the wheel back and forth just a tiny bit at a time.

    When two characters look at something off-camera in the distance and stare at different points in space (why didn't the directory catch that?!).

    I mean tiny bit is somewhat normal to correct for road camber or rutting...but those doing it back and forth like they are in a 70s pickup truck with fully worn out steering rack and bushings is pretty lame
