Just a fun little thread to compare things that happen in television and movies compared to real life. They don't have to be huge things, just the weird tiny details that suddenly make you realise that Movies / TV just don't stack up with actual experiences.
I'll start with a couple -
Parking Space -
Whenever someone has to drive somewhere, there is always a parking space available right outside when they arrive.
Microwave Ovens -
They show a grotty criminal living in the most disgusting apartment ever. He goes to nuke a meal, pushes aside a dead rat on the filthy work surface, yet when he opens the door, the inside of the microwave is spotless.
