No one ever forgets what they were going to say. I don’t mean forget their lines, I mean when one is talking and goes ‘ooh I forgot what I was going to say then’

When the characters have a massive house and they don’t have a high paying job, they just work in a cafe or something 😂 (mainly in crime dramas on itv)

This one’s my dad’s pet peeve but it’s transmitted to me: police/secret agents holding their fingers to their ear when speaking into a covert earpiece. THE WHOLE POINT IS YOU CAN SPEAK INTO IT WITHOUT ANY PHYSICAL TELL! Tbf, it happens in Marvel movies far more than any TV show.

In the Night Garden – The Ninky Nonk clearly changes size between scenes, absolutely no attempt is made to fix the aspect ratios and it grinds my gears. I point it out to my 3 year old son each time and he agrees with me, probably.

This is mostly a US thing, but when someone arrives home with shopping, there’s *always* a French stick poking out of the bag to signify “groceries”, but they never eat it. When they go to make a sandwich, out comes the Wonder bread.

Inappropriate shoes on female characters – especially detectives. Nobody is catching a criminal in high heels 😂😬😂

Characters who end a conversation mid-sentence and pick it up hours later in another location despite them having travelled there together. What amazing thing happened in the car that distracted you?

Oh, and it’s a classic, but; Teachers in US schools planning their lessons so badly that they’re still in the middle of an important fact when the bell rings and the pupils just rush out (leaving the teacher to shout their homework assignment at them as they flee)
