I am always listening out for how many shots someone fires with a revolver before having to reload "Wait a second! Wait a second! You got a .45 revolver that holds six bullets! Now, I counted at least twenty shots and you never reloaded!" - I'm Gonna Git You Sucka Fire sprinklers going off immediately after a lighter is put to them, or there's smoke. They don't work that way, a sprinkler has filling that has to melt before it goes off. And smoke doesn't set off a sprinkler. Also all sprinklers going off at once. If one goes off, one goes off, that's it. It's so all the power is focused on getting the fire out. And even bigger, it's so the fire department can know where the fire started. Also, the sprinklers don't go off automatically if the fire alarm goes off.

I was watching one of those "real" bigfoot hunting shows like 5 years ago and they built this giant steel cage to catch him. They baited it with like dog food and waited. Well, the cage was triggered so all the hillbillies ran over to see their prize. The cage was empty. Instead of being like "Oh, maybe a small animal triggered it" or "maybe that storm last night triggered it", the immediate answer they all agreed to was that Bigfoot escaped the cage by using his elemental powers to transcend into the spiritual plane of existence, thus allowed him to simply phase thru the steel of the cage. They where like "well yeah everybody knows that". Well then WHY DID YOU TRY TO CATCH HIM IN A STEEL CAGE BOBBY-JOE? WHAT IN THE BLUE F$#% DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! ?

Any situation where if a person is bailed out of jail, they act as though he's now innocent and the charges has been dropped. THIS! I'm embarrassed how old I was before I realized you couldn't literally just buy your way out of jail. I guess in some cases you can if you're REALLY rich, can hire a good attorney and you're golfing buddies with the judge

It's always greatly disturbed me that Matt and Trey took the time to rent a rink, get a guy dressed up in goalie gear, put a net out and have a severed head come by....and did it at centre ice. Was the extra 100 feet to the crease really that much of a bother? Actually, all hockey in TV and movies bugs me. Speaking of Hockey, the NHL games on Sega Genesis made me believe that when fights broke out, only the loser had to go tot he penalty box

There was a game show called '10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty' (The safest 10 million dollar bet ever placed) where they had alleged Bigfoot hunters attempt to gather and show off evidence along with various challenges. They would use a lot of those same excuses.

When I see people like that I think that either they had a defective moonshine still or like The Targaryens, there was a lot keeping the bloodline pure going on

Movies where the "controversial" new teacher gains the respect of his/her inner city class that would otherwise not care about passing the class/graduating. Not only do these kids always go to class, but they also pay attention. It would be a miracle to get 50% of my former classmates to show up, let alone not be distracted with cross talking, texting, drawing, sleeping or doing something else.

Bigfoot has been a prominent part of American folklore for more then a century now, and sightings and stories of him go back centuries further. I would think if he could just be baited out with dog food and captured in a steel cage, it would've been done a long time ago. Here's my addition to the thread - I don't think there's a single boxing match in the entire Rocky franchise that, in real life, wouldn't have been stopped by the referee by the second round. Probably with Rocky losing.

I haven't watched a "Bigfoot show" in years, so it might have happened or been addressed but if when they set up a cage or trap for Biggy how come they never have a camera or 2 or 50 pointed at the cage/trap? The cameras are always on the hunters or if pointed at the cage, the cameras are like 40 feet away. Put all the cameras on the cage! Also, a lot of not majority of the shows involve, what some might call as Rednecks, none of them have "sniper type" guns? Aim your snipers at the trap and fill him full of tranquilizers or hell at this point bullets, I have to imagine if he were real he be worth money even dead at this point

There’s a bit at the end of Love Actually that always makes me twitch. There’s a kid trying to get to an airport in time to kiss the girl he loves before she goes. They get to the airport but she’s already plane-side. His stepfather encourages him to sneak through security and he then out-runs a load of security chasing him. He gets to see the girl before security catch up with him and return him to his stepdad with a “don’t let him do it again” look before walking away. In reality, the fact that he’s a kid wouldn’t do him many favours, he’d be in some serious shit. He wouldn’t be returned to his stepdad with no consequence, they would both be off to a place very different to their home. The film is set not long after 9/11 and authorities weren’t f***ing around with security breaches at airports in the next few years (and they’re not exactly blasé about it now).
There’s also another story in the same film where an English guy goes off to America to get laid because English women don’t find him attractive (nothing to do with the fact that he’s an annoying c***). He reveals that he has no idea where he’s staying. Which means he would never have been let in the country in the first place. UK citizens visiting the US must provide an address of where they’re staying (even if it’s a hotel, you might need proof of a booking). Without doing so, you’d be detained and eventually put in a plane back to England. This actually happened to a friend of mine although in his case he did know where he was staying, he just didn’t know the actual address as his girlfriend in the US didn’t tell him her address because she was picking him up at the airport and they didn’t know you needed to put the address on the old Visa waiver form. Fortunately for him, they took him to a side room where he explained the situation and that his girlfriend was somewhere in the airport. They contacted her and when his story was confirmed, they allowed him in.
I know, its a fictional rom-com and shouldn’t be taken seriously. But as someone who has flown between the US and UK about fifty times and knows very well how serious airport security and Customs officials are (rightfully so, I have no issue with them doing what they need to do), it angers me.

Person spends time in a foreign country and becomes fluent in the language just through immersion - only works for kids, anyone over the age of 12 would need a lot of classroom time and would spend at least a year or two (assuming they were a motivated student if not we’re talking many years) sounding noticeably foreign and having all manner of communication problems.

I am always listening out for how many shots someone fires with a revolver before having to reload How about a silencer on a revolver? Unless it's a Nagant M1895. That is a revolver that actually can be suppressed.

Brought this up before but teen shows like Save by the Bell where guys have time to drive home, hell some walk home, in between classes, not lunch where you would have more time, to get or do something for..reasons. I barely had 5-6 minutes max between classes just to get to the next one let alone going to my locker
Also they can stand around in the hallways for like 30 minutes between classes to have conversations
And don't get me started in the one SBTB where Slater drive the driver's Ed golf cart through the school hallways "cause the teacher asked him to"..f the right off

Every single time Joker gets off on an insanity defense See also Doctor Doom and Diplomatic Immunity. At best he'd be forced to leave America and never come back.

Trying to explain to guys how pool chemistry works is a giant chore. I forget exactly what a co-worker thought didn't work that way, but I remember my quote, "Well, you just saw it happen, so obviously it f***ing does".
